    Is the world...

    2RM, Why do you attribute the creation account to the Bronze Age Jews? Oz

    Is the world...

    2RM, Why don't you check both the Oxford English Dictionary and the Merriam Webster Dictionary to see if agglomeration is a word? There's too much guessing on this forum about the meaning of words. Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    Exegisis of Scripture in the original languages. Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    Jethro, That's your version of "imposing authority" of the meaning of authanteiv. Why couldn't it mean imposing authority means the gift of bishop is prevented from women having that authority? Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    Jethro, You have not interpreted the correct word for authority used here - authentein. Please do your homework. Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    Jethro, You are not responding to what I wrote. I said: 'If a pastor is "imposing authority" and she is female, it seems to violate Scripture.' Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    From where did you gain that theological information?

    Should women teach in the church?

    So, are the commandments Paul wrote to various Christian churches not relevant today? Or are they not relevant to jaybo's type of churches? Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    Jethro, The Revised English Bible, using a dynamic equivalence philosophy of translation, translates 1 Tim 2:12 (REB) as, "I do not permit a woman to teach or, more specifically, to impose authority over a man while first needing to learn, rather she is not to cause a disturbance." If a pastor...

    Should women teach in the church?

    Can a woman be a woman of one man, which is just as valid a translation? Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    Free, Women can't "keep silent" in the churches and also prophesy (1 Cor 11:5). That combination doesn't work. Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    Hopeful, It's time for you to write to the translators of The Revised English Bible and tell them they were wrong with their translation of 1 Tim 2:12 (REB): "I do not permit a woman to teach or, more specifically, to impose authority over a man while first needing to learn, rather she is not...

    Should women teach in the church?

    Not without proper exegesis of the text.

    Should women teach in the church?

    Free, You haven't bothered to consider the word for authority in 1 Tim 2:12 (authentein) is not the same word for authority in 1 Cor:11:5 (exousia). There's a world of a difference between the meaning of the 2 words. Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    elected, That's your opinion ("I am a firm believer") and is not based on a careful exegesis of the relevant Scriptures. Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    elected, You provided no exegesis of these verses so I'm left to understand you don't understand their literal meaning. Oz

    Should women teach in the church?

    Free, I'm tired of seeing 1 Tim 2:12 used to oppose women in teaching ministry - without any careful exegesis of that text. That's what you have done. There are problems with the women-must-be-closed-down in ministry in the church. Some of these problems are: 1. There is continuing...

    Question about Bible Version....

    Louis, There's a reason why the NIV translates "man" as someone or person and "brothers" as brothers and sisters. In certain contexts that is the meaning of anthropos (man) and adelphoi (brothers and sisters). Wouldn't you prefer a more accurate translation of the meaning of words? The NIV is...

    Question about Bible Version....

    So, are you saying - based on this one example - you are the superior Bible translator? Pull the other leg!
