1 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | djconklin | 27898 | ||
Interesting points Nolan. However, whenever Paul uses the word "sozo" it always refers to salvation from sin. So, contrary to the speculations in the note in the Disciples Bible this verse does say that women will be saved through child-bearing. So, what does Paul mean here? As a side-note it was interesting to see how quickly the traditionalists dealt with this verse(if at all!). |

Greetings Dave! In a prior verse, you cited Galatians 3:28 as saying that there is no distinction between men and women in Christ.. If that is so, and if women are saved through child-bearing (by use of the Greek word "sozo"), then are men condemned to hell because they cannot bear children??? Do you see the major flaw in this kind of thinking? So the answer is: "NO", child-bearing in and of itself does not bring salvation to anyone! We must look at this verse within the context of the entire passage of 1 Tim. 2:9-15. Here, we see a contrast between the role of men and women. Men are to exercise authority and women are not to usurp this authority, but they are to fulfill their role in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint through the bearing (and rearing) of children. In this way, the role of men and women are clearly defined, both in this way "making a claim to godliness." (v. 10) - Nolan |
