Bible Question:
EPHESIANS 4:8 What does MEN in this verse mean? Because, then we can know whether women can be Pastors v.11. Then we can ask what a Pastor is and then look at what Paul was talking about to Timothy. EPH. 4:12-13 God bless. |
Bible Answer: I don't follow. We might say that "He gave gifts to 'people'". The greek is "anthropois", being the generic term. However, there are a couple points... 1) it doesn't say who got what gift. 2) it doesn't deregulate the usage of these gifts. The regulations are given in passages like 1 Tim. 2, 1 Cor. 11 and 14, among others. In Him, Benjamite |
