AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 3:28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority]. [Rom 3:22; 1 Cor 12:13] |
Subject: God can use woman in the ministry? |
Bible Note: It appears that you concluded your post asking me to accept that 1 Timothy 2:12 is a clear reference to marriage? If so, why doesn't Paul use the genitive possessive in front of the word for woman? There are many ways to interpret another language and an interpretive decision must be made. But that interpretive decision isn't a thoughtful (therefore incomplete) one if one merely lists the other ways a thing could be interpreted. Don't you agree that this is not compelling enough by itself -- don't you really prefer to get some weight of reason based on the text and on the rules of grammar? You did not respond to my reasoning where I observed that headship is still true today. Read again (and I am sorry for its length, I really feel it was condensed, but still long) my article where I said .."Essentially Adam was originally given the responsibility to account to God for the woman, we see that is still true in Paul's epistle to Timothy. Paul says so by saying that it is substantive that Adam was not deceived, Eve was. God doesn't let the woman off the hook, instead.. Would you please summarize the flow of thought there and get back to me? I would like to be sure you have interacted with all the weight of evidence before I give you my full response. |
