Bible Note: Hi, DOC When I say secondary I mean as essentail for our salvation. Because if we take this just as what it says and not seeking a clear understanding of what is meant then women are allowed to even speak in church. We all both know this is not what he meant. I study in reference to content and context and also thru prayer. Because I began my christian journey with the same understanding on this text,but God the HOLY SPIRIT would give peace on this until I sought the truth. Now if I'm wrong I have no probelm with changing belief, but in this brother I truly belive God has a place in our weekly gathering for women. I know I'm not using many scriptures that because i'm expressing my heart felt belief to you friend. Just because many people go to different schools and PhD'S on these subjects my has always been and will always be God the Holy Spirit. Sometimes I belive we are caught on different understandings of verse of text and that okay, but I don't want to be held responsible for not allowing someone to exercise their God given gifts. Now I belive women can excercise their ability to teach to benefit the entire body because by this she is not taking authority over a man, she's just teaching God's Word. I belive women preachers or teachers but not pastors and if I'm wrong then please correct me and I will relent from this argument. your brother,devon |
