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: Hi, FytRobert! noahalso, responded quite exacting! I just wanted to add: We concern ourselves with equality... did God not already said that we are all equal (for all are sinners); did He not make it clear that we are nothing but His dependents ("I am the vine...without me you can do nothing!"). He established one priesthood, one format for worship... we transgress by reinventing the Scripture on the basis of enhancing God's Word to the world's 21st century standard (homosexual clergy, homosexual marriages, hatred, racism, rampant gluttony; unbridled lust (sex, power, fame, youth, health, wealth...)... and while seeking to bring enlightenment to the Bible we blind ourselves to the world's depravity and violence because it allows females to perpetrate on themselves and the males the same madness to which they had been previously subjected by their male counterparts--how equal is that? Now, Christ equality is that the woman obey her husband and that the manlove his wife as his own body--that he be willing to give his life for her as Jesus gave His Life for the Church--how backwards is that? Respect and Love can only come from God, but we can only achieve this on His terms! God Bless! Angel |
