Bible Note: Steve, Thank you for answering my question. I think I left a wrong impression. I didn't mean to suggest that Paul was trying to make the gentiles Jewish. Lifting up of the hands in prayer was a custom practiced by Jewish men and therefore the church, which began with Jewish people and added gentiles as more and more people of all kinds believed. Also, being excessively decorative in one's appearance would have seemed normal to gentile women and abhorrent to the Jewish women who had been raised all their lives to pursue good works over adornment. Paul seems to be trying to help Timothy get everyone on the same page to restore order rather than dictate a dogma. The page he puts them on just seems more in line with traditional Jewish practices, which were based on Scripture, rather than the idolatry of their gentile past. |
