Women Must Be Silent In Church?

1st Timothy 2.11 says: "Let a woman
learn quietly with all submissiveness."

So according to the Bible, a woman is
supposed to sit in church and be quiet.

Right, she's supposed to keep her mouth shut and leave the talking to the men.
"- Yeah, good luck with that Honey!" - I love

you sweetie." Alright, so that's not the
meaning of that verse. Rather it goes

with the full instruction that follows: "I
do not permit a woman to teach or

exercise authority over a man. Rather she
is to remain quiet." The context here is

church leadership which continues on in
the chapter 3. Basically a woman can't be

a pastor or an elder in a church. That's
no less controversial but it's what the

Bible says. And this instruction is
universal to all people, in all cultures,

at all times. It's not exclusive to the
time period in which the Apostle Paul is

writing this. How do we know that? Because Paul,
exercising his authority as an

apostle, goes all the way back to Adam
and Eve, with his explanation. "For Adam

was formed first then Eve. And Adam was not deceived,
but the woman was deceived and

became a transgressor." So because Adam was formed first
and because Eve was deceived

by the serpent, a woman is prohibited
from being an authority in the church.

She can teach children and she can teach
other women. And she can lead others to

Christ. Priscilla did that for Apollos,
along with her husband Aquilas. But she

can't be a pastor. Any church that
appoints a woman as a pastor would be in

biblical disobedience. There are other
ways a woman can find godly fulfillment

that a man cannot. But the authority in the
church is commanded for men to step up

and lead. "- Was that a good explanation, love?
- Yes, very good Sweetheart. - Oh, thanks" And that's when we

understand the text.
