I’ve had a few Freeper men throw the passage of Scripture WRT women teaching men in my face on Religion Forum threads where I have expressed disagreement with them on doctrinal issues. I have a college degree in Biblical Education/Theology so I am able to back up my views. I think if they did not know that I was a woman, they most likely would have at least respected and engaged in discussion. Instead, they hide behind “thou shalt not suffer a woman to teach”. Curious about what y’all think about this kind of response?
I do not see that Free Republic is a pulpit. This is not a church! So there is no reason to be quiet. Secondly, in a forum where we can share views, ideas, and insights, that is not teaching and definitely not exercising any authority. Thirdly, the only man we are to submit to is our husbands.
So, CLEAN THEIR CLOCKS! But, in a godly way.
The passage of Scripture I think being referred to by boatbums is I Timothy 2:12.
Sis, do you even veil?
I believe it is “ thou shalt not suffer to PREACH.” With your education I’d think you’d know that? Or tell me if I am in error.
Ordained office and church authority are not for women. Scripture is clear. But we can teach other women and children and also, in a non authoritative way, men.
I can tell a man the best flour to use. I can teach him to read. I might even explain the doctrine of election to him, certainly share the gospel. But not in a bossy way.
