Bible Question: While Scripture was written at a time when the majority of women were considered low, and even personal property, which we do not consider this now. Does this change what the Bible says about the role of women in the church? I recently reposted an old post (127994) on this subject? |
Bible Answer: The women were "out of control" in the church at the time of this writing, were they not? I do not believe it had anything to do with the way women, in general, were considered. I believe it was because, in particlar, the women in the church were "carrying on" so to speak. Am I wrong? |
