1 | Women are to be silent? | NT general | srbaegon | 218335 | ||
Hello Justme, Your cultural and experiential arguments actually undermine your position because the standard is Scripture. You are correct that the subject of women in ministry surpasses the bounds of just the pastorate, and it requires sound biblical exegesis. Steve |

I am giving a non-answer to make a point about exegesis, because your question has multiple facets to it. Here are questions that must be answered: 1. Were women required to be silent or quiet? 2. Why were women to be silent/quiet? 3. When and where were women to be silent/quiet? 4. What was the benefit, if any, of being silent/quiet? 5. What was the consequence of not being silent/quiet? 6. Can a Scripture passage be applicable only to a particular culture? 7. If a passage is indeed cultural, what textual indicators tell me it is only cultural? Or what later commands were given so it is no longer applicable? 8. If I consider a passage cultural, do I undermine the teaching of the book where it is contained? For example, If I say woman's silence is cultural in 1 Cor 14:34, do I negate the whole passage (14:26-39) which teaches that there is to be order in the church? After all, if one verse is cultural, maybe that section is cultural; or the chapter is cultural; or even the whole book is cultural. How does one know where to stop? Those are some random ideas to help move things along. Steve |
