Bible Question:
Hi, 1TIMOTHY2:12-"I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent" But to-day, there are woman evangelists; woman Pastors and besides, there are Queens ruling over men in many countries. Your helpful comments, please. |
Bible Answer: The world is not the standard for the Christian. The Bible is the standard. What the world does is not the pattern for the Christian. The Word of God puts man over the woman in the home and the church-1 Cor. 11:3; 14:34-ff; Eph. 5:22-ff; as you have already quoted-1 Tim 2:12-according to God's authority the woman is not to have authority over the man in the church. The world and the denominations have transgressed, sinnded in this matter and have caused the confussion. God is not the author of the confussion-1 Cor 14:33-continue to study what the context of 1 cor 14 is and you will find out what is orderly worship and exceptable to God. I hope this will help. Also, 2 Tim 2:15-Study or be diligent to present yourself approved to God, 2 Tim 3:16-17-the Word of God is able to make the man of God completely equiped for His work. The world is not the answer or the source for the answer. Nor are the manmade denominations. |
