1 | Should women be ordained? | NT general Archive 1 | srbaegon | 145689 | ||
Hello greentwiga, Concerning your statement--"First, there were women elders, women deacons, and prophetesses." Would you be so kind as to give Scriptural support? There are two reasons for this: 1) It's proper forum practice and 2) I disagree with you. Steve |

I Tim 5:2 The word is the word for elders, with the feminine ending. The sentance construction compared to 5:1 Shows the typical Jewish doublet, which adds force to translating the vers women elders if 5:1 IS men Elders, which it is. See also Titus 2:3. I Tim 3:11 again can equally well be translated deaconesses. To insist on translating the word as wives is insisting on an interpretation. You can disagree, but it would be a disagreement on interpretation rather than ignoring an absolute statement of scripture. greentwiga |

Greenwiga The reason the word for elders in 1 Tim 5:2 is feminnine is because it is talking about older women not the office of "elder". It is the same use of elder in verse 1 which is talking about older men again not the position of an elder. the same applies to Titus 2:3. 1 Tim 3:11 does not contain the word elder. Greenwiga I think you need to read your references in context before you submit them. The only thing these references show me is you don't understand what the word "elder" means when used to refer to older people. sorry! EdB |
