Bible Question:
1 Timothy 2:8-11 says that men should pray in a certain way and LIKEWISE women should adorn themselves in a certain way. Both of these sound like ways to control disruptive behaviors and institute a more Jewish style of worship for gentiles who didn't know how to pray or learn in the Jewish way as Timothy and Paul did. Is it correct to say that men were disputing instead of praying and women were busybodies instead of minding their own business? |
Bible Answer: Hello loavesnfish, Yes, Paul was correcting men and women who were behaving in those ways but not based on the presupposition in your post. Paul was not trying to implement Jewish worship as much as he was teaching proper worship according to God's revelation of himself. Steve |
