1 | Women are to be silent? | NT general | justme | 218368 | ||
YenlsaRap: Scripture was always written to people living at the time. We look at what that ment atthe time of the writing, and what was going on at that time. That is History. We then look at the meaning for which this was written. that is application for those at the time of the writting. Why and to whom and what were the circunstances that caused it to be written about. Then we look to seen how that applies to today. This writing of Paus was directed because there was a problem at that time. Women who had little or no education were asking questions that were disrupting the teaching. This caused the teaching to be constantly interrupted. Thus Pauls instruction. That is in many Study Bibles and has been taught in conserative Bible Colleges and Seminaries. I do understand your position and this is not a point of disfellowship in my opinion. I think the time when we are able to see Christ Jesus face to face and after millions of years maybe we might have the time to ask paul what he ment. I dearly love all of you in the Study Bible Forum! I appreciate your love and kind respectful responce, as sometimes tempers get hot and unkindness brakes out. As Christians there are some non debatable areas and we both fully know those. I am so pleased that you took the time to right back. God belss you YenlsaRap. justme |

2 | Women are to be silent? | NT general | stjohn | 218371 | ||
Dear Justme, If we look carefully at what the text of 1 Timothy is teaching, we find that there is -though it doesn't say exactly- some kind of heresy being taught, and that the actions and attitudes of the Church -in general, not just the woman- are unchristian-like, in thought, and behavior. Because of this, Paul then goes on to give instructions to men and to woman alike on how Christians are supposed to behave in the church. For Paul to be singling out woman to be silent, when he has already cited that men too were promulgating heresy, and acting in an unchristian-like manor, would be at best, incredibly sexes on the part of Paul. And at least (and more importantly) for us to assume what this teaching is proposing to be only for that situation and for that time; adding to the Scriptures what is not found there, no matter whether it be found in extra-biblical material in study Bibles or taught in seminaries. With all do respect for popular opinion, the standard for deducing the truth from Scripture is, the Scriptures themselves. (sola Scriptura) John |
