Subject: Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? |
Bible Note: justme, Good to hear from you, my friend. Thanks for the welcome input:-) No, I both understand and agree with what you're saying. Obviously, I just assumed the context would be understood. I meant submission just as you have so stated and in the biblical context. I agree with the servant partner and that we are to be in submission to one another as to the Lord.(Eph. 5:20) The issue I was speaking to was the Divine order of Biblical office as in 1 Tim. 2:12-15: "12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint." Thanks for sharing your perspective on an issue that is not at all easy to tackle. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
