Subject: Women teaching or in authority |
Bible Note: Greetings Serenetine! There are differing views about what exactly was meant by the commands in 1 Tim. 3:12-14. Some feel that they are blanket commands - that woman should never teach. Some feel that they are more specific - that wives should not teach their husbands. Some feel that these verses refer to a group of woman who were leading a particular church astray. Regardless, while we may disagree with what the verses mean, they are still Scripture. Paul wrote them under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and we have no right to say I disagree with what God's Word says! Our only obligation is to either obey or disobey!
