The glaring problem with your position is that you have a good God placing sinful males in authority over all women because one woman was deceived. I am certain that God is wiser than that.
There is a better way to view Paul's words to Timothy, but you have to do a bit of study on the cultural context to get it. Basically, Paul was refuting the pagan gnostic belief that Eve was formed first and not deceived. Paul was actually affirming women learning (which was contrary to Jewish culture) while putting an appropriate restriction on a woman who had not yet learned Christian truths and therefore should not be teaching Christians.
This preserves God's character and is consistent with Jesus' treatment of women.
Actually, there is precedent for women being heirs; in Numbers 26 and 27, the daughters of Zelophehad inherited their father's land because he had no sons.
“The glaring problem with your position is that you have a good God placing
sinful males in authority over
all women because
one woman was deceived. I am certain that God is wiser than that.”
no that’s not my position .
My position is that’s pauls argument for why he doesn’t allow women to teach in church or usurp authority over a man . The reason I say that is
To be clear
Paul wrote this
“But
I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
( my position is
that’s his position because he said it is in scripture and then he explains why that’s his position )
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.”
1 Timothy 2:12-15 KJV
How is this an error on my part ? If you have an issue with the position your issue is with Paul’s argument , I eas only making th argument that we shouldn’t remove verses because we don’t agree with what they say .
why is Paul saying that Adam was formed first ? Because he was . Why is oil saying that eve was first deceived and sinned and not Adam ? Why is Paul saying something about being saved by child bearing and talking about a woman not having authority over a man ?
because that’s what happened
If you have an issue with man being placed over women because of sin your issue is with Gods word in Eden after they sinned
“
Unto the woman he ( God ) said, I will greatly
multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; ( childbearing like ouls talking about )
and
thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
( that’s what God said to her not me or Paul )
And
unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;”
Genesis 3:16-17
Again no one has asked my position on women in the church lol I’ve said in this thread however that “ of any women had a good message from God I’d sit and listen like I would of it was a man “
My position concerning women and men in the church is this
“For
as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
And
if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Galatians 3:27-29 KJV
I’m sorry some of you can’t acknowledge what Paul said there it doesn’t even seem mysterious to me it just says what it says
Here is why I have the position I have Paul wrote a letter to Timothy
“
Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,”
1 Timothy 1:1 NIV
In the letter he wrote this
“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.”
1 Timothy 2:11-15 KJV
i am not willing to erase what he said because i don’t agree like some here are trying to do. The fact is when eve led Adam into sin God places adam in authority over her and mankind followed the same pattern until Christ came to remove the curses and fallen state of mankind bringing everything back to what it’s meant to be
Man and women together worshipping and submitting to God on equal footing . Mankknd fell away from what we’re made to be that’s part of the consequences as we see when zgod instituuted it
It’s just factual
“Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to
thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.”
Genesis 3:16
it’s not that way in Christ but in the world of men it is and has been since Eden
