Subject: Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? |
Bible Note: Tim I really don't have a problem with this alternate reading. In fact I think it may clarify 1 Cor. 14:34, which to me is also saying a wife shouldn't question her husband in public. However when I offered an equally acceptable reading in another thread on another verse I was accused of adding to scripture and was quoted Rev 22:18. That hurt! I pleaded my case then and was summarily ignored so I thought I would take this opportunity to give a vivid demonstration with the shoe on the other foot. I was probably wrong for doing it but sometimes I get tired getting accused of things when I say something that doesn't agree with the direction certain people are rowing. As for Priscilla we really don't know what part she played in the instructing Apollos Acts 18:26 So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately. She could have been actively involved or did nothing more that agreed with what her husband said. I think you will also agree the understanding of this verse for the last 2000 years has been that women should not teach men and that it has only been in last 100 or so years when such a view is not PC and that there has been a scramble to offer more PC alternate readings.
