Posted in 1 Timothy 2, Old Testament scriptures on Nov 29th, 2006
If complementarians are right in their interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:12, then God must have one completely unique law. This “law” forbidding women from teaching the bible to men is not like any other law in the bible. All of God’s laws have several things in common. Every law is able to be traced back [...]

Since God is neither male nor female, some have suggested that the Messiah could have been born a female. I would respectfully like to differ with that view.

Probably none more stressful than the title given to them as “Priest of the home”. But is this position biblical? Nowhere in scripture is there to be a designated “priest of [...]

With all of the talk on submission of a wife, we should at least grant that submission is not related to suppression of God’s gifts. In other words if a woman is gifted to teach, her submission to her husband and her desire to honor him should not be a means to stop her from [...]
