No, men have been taught what it doesn't say.
1 Timothy 2 is talking about husbands and wives. Pay attention to Paul's argument.

No, the Lord is speaking through Paul concerning the office of Bishop and who is qualified.
Quote from - 1 Timothy 3:1-13
This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desires a good work.
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife
Quote from - Titus 1:6-9
If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.
For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God
Whatever you do, don't let what the Lord says in His Word get in the way of what the popular kids claim.
They might kick you out of the religious clubhouse and tag you as a reengage for daring to believe God's Word over their false teachings
As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David My servant, and the Levites that minister unto Me. Jeremiah 33:22
The Stars-Hosts of heaven: Represents the vast, uncountable number of God’s people, the spiritual seed of Abraham
The Sand of the sea: Symbolizes an equally vast, immeasurable multitude, emphasizing that the promise of descendants will be beyond human counting
Here's a Random fact for you
The difference, mine has a context
Astronomers estimate the observable universe contains roughly 200 sextillion stars (about 2 × 10²³), based on ~2 trillion galaxies each holding around 100 billion stars.
False witnesses said that Paul didn't keep the Torah
Paul helped to pay for the Animal Sacrifices that were required to end a Nazarite Vow according to the Torah.
Do you believe Paul was a Hypocrite, He pretended to keep the Torah when he was around Jews, but didn't keep it when he was around other Ethnos-Races?
Either Paul is a hypocrite or you are a false witness
Paul is not a hypocrite
The Old Testament sabbath only applies to the creation of this earth which was a physical covenant so a physical rest.
The New Testament is a spiritual covenant so a spiritual rest.
Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
Col 2:15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Gal 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Jesus took the physical ordinances of Israel out of the way nailing them to His cross because they were contrary to us for they had no bearing on salvation.
So they do not apply in the New Testament which includes the sabbath days.
Which let not person judge you concerning the physical ordinances so I will not listen to them.
The ordinances were a shadow of things to come, and the physical laws was a schoolteacher until Christ came and then we are not under a schoolteacher anymore.
Isa 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Heb 11:16 But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.
This heaven and earth will pass away and there will be a new heaven and earth which is the place Jesus went away to prepare for the saints.
The saints belong to that heaven and earth and celebrate that.
Isa 28:10 For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Isa 28:11 For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
Isa 28:12 To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.
Mat 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Mat 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Mat 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
In the New Testament it is a spiritual rest yet many will not hear but they want to judge people saying keep the physical sabbath which they do not have to keep.
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Rom 13:8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Rom 13:9 For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Rom 13:10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Jesus told the rich man to follow the commandments that have to do with loving people to inherit eternal life for love is the fulfilling of the law and does not mention keep the sabbath day for eternal life.
They had to keep the sabbath while Jesus was on earth for the Old Testament was still in affect.
But after Jesus shed His blood to give salvation we no longer go by the physical sabbath.
The New Testament does not say keep the physical sabbath but says it is taken out of the way.
Mrk 2:27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath.
Man was not made for the sabbath but the sabbath was made for man so it can change.
Which it changed to a spiritual rest.
Or will you judge and not hear.
Paul stopped following the old covenant and started follow Jesus in the New Covenant when he got born again.
The judaizers hate that about Paul.
The Judaizers were a faction of early Jewish Christians who believed the Old Testament’s Levitical laws still had to be followed by all Christians. They pushed for Gentile converts to be circumcised and were strongly opposed by Paul (including in the incident at Antioch).
When the false teachers teach their false doctrines and someone does not agree to follow their false doctrines, the false teachers frequently claim those not agreeing to follow their false doctrines are false witnesses so this is par for course.
So which is it? Sand or stars? Symbolic or exact? Seems you want to play both sides while making very serious accusations about others.
Regardless of denomination and traditional teachings.....
Let's see.
One group of people mostly SDAs say that law will slowly be placed on people to observe Sunday as a day of rest.
They have been predicting this for many years but have never set a day or date.
They believe that the world will be divided into two classes.
Those that keep ALL the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus.
And those that follow the beast and his commands and teachings..
God's commandments vs Man's commandments.
Rev 14:9 KJV And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,Rev 10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, .....
Throughout history the Catholic church was always seen as the beast and antichrist. All the reformers identified the Roman church as the Antichrist.
The Roman Church has gone into a state of changing the thinking and diverting the attention off itself for the last 200 years. Today she still calls herself the the mother church and has not changed.
She killed people for reading the Bible in the dark ages.
The Roman Church says that Sunday worship is her sign and mark.
If this is all wrong and Sunday means nothing (which is what you think) then so be it..
But if laws are enforced to make Sunday the day of rest then you should reconsider your stance.
It is one of many interpretation of what mark of the beast is. Which One is right️
It is a prophecy that I believe is being fulfilled slowing but surely..
Rev 14:12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Rev 12:17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Why is the Sabbath such a hill to die on? Why did Jesus not say that the Sabbath was one of the greatest commandments? Why is it that Christians, who are in the New Covenant, insist on keeping the law given to Israel?
I pray most days against the Satanic Catholic organisation. There are believers who have yet to wake up, but the organisation itself is evil. Sunday worship was common long before Catholicism existed.
There are no laws proposed or implemented that I know of that enforce Sunday worship. The opposite where I live. It used to be that the nation shut down on a Sunday. Now it's much the same as any other day for many. Shops are open, as are pubs and clubs, and sport is played. No one is forced to attend church.
The world is increasingly secular. Poland is something of an exception but church attendance is not mandatory on any day. It's another SDA false prophecy.

I am too old and too tired to deal with people who reject the simplicity of God's word. Maybe I'll get a bit more sleep and be motivated to contend with you and others who seek to impose the law on God's grace. So yeah, whatever.
Paul did talk about eating meat that sacrificed to idols. In some case go ahead eat, in other case for the sake of weak, don't eat.
1st Corinthians 8
Monday and Wednesday are good too. Saturday as well.
7th, 1 out of 7. More ever better.
Wrong.
No scripture commands to congregate for weekly religious services on the first day of the week.
The indoctrinated teachings of Sunday keeping churches will tell you that.
An exhortation is not a command. The early church met daily. That is the ideal.
You do not go to any assembly on any day. And you feed animals on Saturday. Based on your practice, we are all observing sabbath law.
Cheers
Dang you're hard-headed! Exhort does not mean "command", otherwise I would have used the word "commanded".
The irony of you calling me indoctrinated is rich. I part ways with my pastor on a lot of stuff, but it sounds like you're an adventist, and if there's one thing I've noticed about adventists, they agree on everything. I could lump the mormons and joho's in there too.
When you agree with every single little thing your church teaches you, you're in a cult.
Anyway, I'm not motivated enough to carry this any further, so blocking you is just easier.
Yabba Dabba Doooo!
Not Israel's laws but God's laws.
The moral laws are universal
Jesus said i did not come to destroy the law... in Jesus's day which law was He referring to. There was no new Testament written when Jesus said it.
Mat 5:17-18
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
