Subject: Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? |
Bible Note: Kalos You said or rather quoted ""I personally think the word "men" and "women" are mistranslated here. Here's why I think so. "First, all the men [in a church] would be over all the women, and in other scriptures that we read we have occasions where women are in authority over men." In the OT Deborah was a judge, for example . . ." I don't see anything in 1 Tim 2:12 that suggests men should have authority over women or their wives. Paul simply says he does not allow women teach or have authority over man. I think this was an attempt to be PC but in this case could be viewed as adding to scripture could it not? EdB |
