Subject: Pt.1 Female Overseer |
Bible Note: LOL. Well I am not concerned about it myself, I even listen to women teach the Word. I was just adding some good logic as to why we might be applying legalism to New Testament instructions and trying to put women back under the law, and that would be a very bad thing in the AUTHOR'S eyes wouldn't it? I think we have to be careful and make sure we are knowing the AUTHOR then we will interpret the Word according to the SPIRIT of the AUTHOR and not a legalistic interpretation He never intended. The more I look at this subject the more I see women as being quite oppressed by christian men and it was never meant to be that way. If there is one thing Jesus brought that was liberty for all man and woman. I am leaning toward the USURP being key to understanding this. Also I lean toward the idea of women teaching in the church as not prohibited by this statement but that of teaching men as in a fleshly way, teaching them to do what the woman wants. Kind of like what wives have a problem with. LOL. If he had said I suffer a woman not to teach the word in the church I could see the point, but it says I suffer not a woman to teach or usurp authority over the man which sounds more like what I witness often among couples who don't believe in women teaching in the church. In other words, they don't believe in women teaching in the church and yet the woman keeps teaching and usurping authority over the man by nagging and scolding him. |
