Bible Question:
Any one able to shed some light on this verse. 1Ti 2:12 Moreover, I do not allow a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. Instead, she is to be quiet. 1Ti 2:13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 1Ti 2:14 And it was not Adam who was deceived. It was the woman who was deceived and became a lawbreaker. Many Thanks.

Bible Answer: Because women in church must be under male leadership, they would be restricted from teaching doctrine and correction but would be allowed to teach exhortation (the way I see it). God made men and women different, so this is a good thing! 1Ti_2:14 says Eve sinned because she was deceived and that Adam was not deceived. He was not deceived because he knew what he was doing! He sinned with full knowledge of the consequences. Because of Adam's sin, not Eve's, judgement came to all mankind (Rom_5:18), even tho Eve sinned 1st. God confronted Adam in the garden, not Eve (Gen_3:11), because God held Adam responsible. Therefore, men are the ones that God holds responsible for church leadership, not women. hope this helps! Jesus Saves!! retxar |
