Subject: Is this verse relevant today? |
Bible Note: Dear MIILAZ, Yes, this verse (and all Scripture) is (are) relevant today. But the Bible is not meant to bind us, but set us free to serve God. Interpretation to the former precludes the latter. Please look at "What did women do in the early church?" Rom 16:2 charis Fri 06/1/01, 7:29pm. There is nothing shameful in the role that women play in God's church. Also, do a forum search on the verses Galatians 3:28, and 1 Corinthians 14:34 for a variety of opinions. Mine are in there, too :-) Men have an authority and a responsibility in the kingdom of God. This does not make them 'the boss' over women. There is but one 'Boss.' To men has been given the responsibility to shepherd the flock of Christ and be the pillar of their household. This should not mean that women have no ministry in the church. (They do, anyway!) In Christ Jesus, charis |
