1 | 1 Timothy 2:8-11 for disruptors? | 1 Tim 2:8 | loavesnfish | 232263 | ||
1 Timothy 2:8-11 says that men should pray in a certain way and LIKEWISE women should adorn themselves in a certain way. Both of these sound like ways to control disruptive behaviors and institute a more Jewish style of worship for gentiles who didn't know how to pray or learn in the Jewish way as Timothy and Paul did. Is it correct to say that men were disputing instead of praying and women were busybodies instead of minding their own business? |

Hello loavesnfish, Yes, Paul was correcting men and women who were behaving in those ways but not based on the presupposition in your post. Paul was not trying to implement Jewish worship as much as he was teaching proper worship according to God's revelation of himself. Steve |

Steve, Thank you for answering my question. I think I left a wrong impression. I didn't mean to suggest that Paul was trying to make the gentiles Jewish. Lifting up of the hands in prayer was a custom practiced by Jewish men and therefore the church, which began with Jewish people and added gentiles as more and more people of all kinds believed. Also, being excessively decorative in one's appearance would have seemed normal to gentile women and abhorrent to the Jewish women who had been raised all their lives to pursue good works over adornment. Paul seems to be trying to help Timothy get everyone on the same page to restore order rather than dictate a dogma. The page he puts them on just seems more in line with traditional Jewish practices, which were based on Scripture, rather than the idolatry of their gentile past. |

Hi, I can agree with you that order is the order of the day. (OK, maybe my humor is weak.) Paul probably used a synagogal pattern to establish churches, but I am reticent to say he brought in traditional Jewish practices as well, only because of his warning against relying on form and works rather than the function. I could be overly cautious here. I think more that Paul was aiming to see creation order properly implemented in the framework of the family and church. Steve |
