Do you have some scriptural or other support that specifies your reason for Paul's statement? In that scripture, Paul actually says: "The women are to keep silent in the churches (plural); for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says." Also, aren't there significant differences between judging, being a Queen (one with practically no ruling power), and sponsoring missionaries (please specify); versus teaching the Christian congregation during meetings? Wouldn't even women writing books about their faith and reaching out to ones who are not believers be different than acting as teachers WITHIN the Christian congregation? Paul might seem to think so as he also recommends female ministers (as opposed to pastors) such as Phoebe at Romans 16:1. |

Hi MAC702 The following are the verses which are almost always left out of this discussion. 1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1Ti 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. These verses cover what all of the other verses cited so far are conveying but there is a continuity of thought to be found in these from Timothy covering the complete thought whereas the others just touch on it. In my opinion Paul is saying. Man being formed first was given an Authority to lead that the woman was not. The man in all cases is always responsible for the weaker vessel. Yes there are exceptions to this rule because God in His Sovereignty will use whomever He chooses. But those times that women were or have been used cannot be construed as a blanket giving of Authority from that point on. Because the Authority (position held) did not pass on to another woman it ended when the need ended these were unique events where women were used instead of men. lightedsteps |

Hello lightedsteps, Had you read what had already been posted, you would know these verses have been addressed--lightly in this thread and heavily at previous times. Steve |

Hi srbaegon I apologize for inadvertently offending you. I wrote my comment after I had read the thread on the evening of the 10th but just as I was going to post my computer crashed. Whereupon my return on the morning of the 11th I did not re-read the thread. If I had done so as you say I would have seen that Beja did make comment to the verses I posted. But even if I did not read the thread and just posted as you think has my posting disrupted the continuity of the thoughts made thus far? It could be taken as a reiteration of the post by Beja. Just wanted to clear up the misunderstanding you had. But now as we can see MAC702 asked a question instead of posting a note which he should have done. Therefore this thread should not have even happened so I guess this whole thread is now rendered moot. lightedsteps |
