1 | Can a woman speak in church? | 1 Tim 2:15 | Makarios | 27978 | ||
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 |

Please re-read the post more carefully. BTW, I made the same point in a sermon. |

Ok Dave, You say that you did not state anything about Galatians 3:28.. What do you think that Paul is saying in 1 Tim. 2:15? - Nolan |

I'm still not sure Nolan (it has been a couple of years since I looked at this topic in some depth--see the bibliography on my web page). I do know that I haven't seen any convincing explanation as of yet. It seems to me that one cannot really do justice to vs 12 until one can adequately explain both vss 14 and 15--something the traditionalists have yet to do (I really get suspicious when people try to change the words from what God's chosen vessels have writen). | ||||||

Ok, fair enough.. :-) From your past posts in this thread, I thought that you possibly had an answer in mind. Blessings to you, Nolan |

Not yet; still tossing it around in my mind. Maybe all the reading I did wasn't enough? | ||||||
