Subject: Whats a womens place in the Church? |
Bible Note: Azure, I believe that the point you are apparently trying to make is a worthy one to consider. Keeping within the context of this thread, allow me to offer some input. Consider the following. The first thing that must be considered regarding your question to Steve is, what exactly does it mean that Adam was "created in God's image"? While you are contemplating that, consider the consequences resulting from that creation's (Adam's) fall. Seth was begotten in Adam's image. What was that image? I suggest, the image of corrupt man. Adam's nature of sin that was imputed to Seth and all of humankind. And so the work of the Holy Spirit in those of us that are saved, is to renew us, creating within us once again the image of Christ. 1 Cor 15:46-49 46 But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual. 47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. 48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven. ESV Col 3:9-10 9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. ESV Again, in keeping with the thread context here also consider these verses. It seems like there is a lot said on the subject with very little reference to Scripture. 1 Cor 11:7-10 7 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. ESV Hope this helps contribute to the discussion. God bless, Jeff |
