1 | What?!? | 1 Tim 2:14 | djconklin | 29963 | ||
Tim, I wouldn't say that "help-meet" implies inferiority in any sense of the word. It interesting to note, as you have, that the same word to describe Eve is also used to describe God. I think I can agree with you summation; I just wish that Paul; had been more clear. From what I have read by many scholars when they looked at this verse and its surrrounding context they were certainly confused and gave very unclear counsel in regards to it all. |

Greetings Djconklin! Alas, there are definitely parts of Scripture that we would have cleared up if we could! But, then there would probably be 1000 times the confusion! :-) I think this in definitely one of those instances where the occasional nature of Paul's epistles makes it very difficult to understand. He and his audience were both very clear on what issue Paul was addressing, while we are left to guess. However, the main point seems to be fairly clear! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim, I must confess that since I have put some more thought into it I'm going to have to back off accepting your version of what is being said. This is because it basically ignores what the text says. Paul's point seems to be on who knew what when being tempted. BTW, thanks for the kind spirit of your responses--it is a real breath of fresh air! |
