Subject: Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? |
Bible Note: Tim Thanks for your input I was trying to learn if something in Greek suggested an involvement level. I agree the “they” implies they worked together, but unless there is something that implies something different, as a helpmate Priscilla's function could have been anything from very minimal to very active. As for Pricilla being mentioned first when I was taught English I was told to always state the feminine before the masculine. For instance if I was talking about your wife and you. I would state “Tim’s wife and Tim did thus and such.” I have always assumed that was language etiquette. So when I saw Pricilla mentioned first I once again assumed it was nothing more than what I was taught. I will have to ponder that somemore. You may be very right Pricilla may have been the more dominate than Aquilla in their ministry together. However since scripture is silent on this to place her in a such a position is speculation is it not? Again I know many preachers use this verse as proof of the validity of women teaching men in spiritual things today and I guess I question their motive. Is it conviction or something else. EdB |
