Bible Question: why are women allowed to teach? |
Bible Answer: Interesting that the question sould arise on a day when one denomination is scheduled to meet to consider whether a pastor should be allowed to keep her job after confessing to a continuing sexual relationship with another woman. Seems that we have gone far beyond the question of women keeping silenct in church. There are other more brazen thigns that are allowed by the churches today that are not allowed in Scripture. Why are women allowed to teach? I do not know. I suppose it might be related to the fact that other behaviors prohibited by God are allowed by men. There are also commandments given by God that we ignore. God makes the rules (John 7:19; 1 Corinthians 14:37) and we break them (John 7:19; Romans 10:21; Titus 1:16). Be careful, though (2 Timothy 2:15). They also justify themselves and defame anyone who would point out their error (2 Timothy 3:3; Titus 1:13). |
