Hi Marylin,

1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

-------

The " be in silence" part must be understood to allow for prophecying because of Corinthians.
The "suffer (allow} not a woman to teach" part must be understood to allow for teaching as in Titus 2:4

So neither part is absolute. Both are interpreted in light of other Scripture.
---------

But the "suffer (allow} not a woman to teach" part must also be understood to disallow teaching theology topics
because I TIm 2:14 gives the reason she would not teach - it links being a woman to easier deception.

Teach the younger women the things of home and marriage - Yes: Titus 2:4
Teach theology topics - No. I Tim 2:14

--------------------------------

Regarding Col 3:16, the women's part w/r teaching would be as in Titus 2:4 .
Col 3:16 does not say each person should teach theology topics.

=========================

We are close to "agree to disagree" time.

I do not think any minds are close to being changed.

Regarding enforcement of I Tim 2:12 on this forum-

<< Marylin, I am nothing around here, and sometimes I'm even public enemy #1, so all I can say is my opinion
which carries no weight >>>

I percieve Marylin that you see yourself as a teacher and maybe even a 5-fold and that comes
through in the tone of your writings. But I don't care. Many people see themselves in places
that I do not see them.

I do not cut myself off from listening to people just because I think they are not what they say they
are - else I would listen to nothing ever. This is not a church, and as my sign off signature indicates,
I don't think things are working anyway, so I am not caring about enforcing I Tim 2:12

I enjoy you Marylin because I love the Word and theology, and you are interesting.

Recommended: No faith stands that strongly impact our (our children's) lives until we figure out
why the signs and wonders are missing. Something is wrong.
