Bible Note: Hi Tony, Yes I believe in God's Word 100 out of 100 times. I am not going to say that I know all, or can even be able to find all the answers however, I have studied the Scriptures and can see where you may be able to use some help. That is what we are here for, and I am willing to dialogue with you without judging you The main question seems to be a pitting of one verse against another, making their truth seem less valid. You will find as you put the verses into the context in which they belong that the truth will always ring true, and I will do what I can to shed light on any gray areas that you may perceive. I think you will find that truth cannot be improved upon, only our understanding is what is lacking. In my studies I have found so far that God's Word is infallible and irrevocable. Scripture contains the full revelation of God and the full revelation of His will for mankind. Scripture is the Final Authority in all matters and is necessary for salvation, and sufficient for growth. There are obviously other sources that may have one or more of these qualities, but Scripture has all qualities all the time, bar none. This all is pertaining to 2Timothy3:16. Now, for the verse in 1Timothy 2:9, let me paraphrase some comments from Matthew Henry, one of my all-time favorite sources. hen I will ask you to further define any questions, one or two at a time, to make them easier to answer in this forum. 2Tim 2:9 is a particular exhortation is to women in that particular era, who professed themselves to be Christians. They are urged to be modest, sober, silent, and submissive, as is becoming to the fairer sex, that they know their place. They should be modest in their apparel, not gaudy, or showy, as to attract attention to themselves, or their form, and not overdressed to the occasion or flaunting the costliness of their garments. Good works are the ornament of choice here these are what we are commanded to do in our lives on earth, to build up treasures in heaven, not on earth. We must all learn the principles of religion, learn the scriptures, and learn to know Christ. Women are here insructed not to think that being the weaker sex excuses them from learning that which is necessary to their salvation. Are you getting the picture, my brother? I hope I am helping you to see more clearly, if not I will watch for your reply. In Christ, Tim |
