How should 21st century Christians interpret and act upon the following words?
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
@divegeester removed their quoted postAre there, in your view, any other 1st century attitudes and mentalities that should be similarly dismissed or ignored in terms of living a Christian life in this current century?
@suzianne saidWhere/what do you think Ehrman was "going with" when he contended that Timothy is "non-Pauline"?
Let's call a spade a spade, here.
FMF seems a fan of Bart Ehrman, and he claims that the Pastorals (First and Second Timothy, and Titus) are "non-Pauline", so I expect that is where he's going with this.
@suzianne saidIf you think Bart Ehrman claims that "the Pastorals (First and Second Timothy, and Titus)" are "non-Pauline", take it up with Bart Ehrman. He can be reached, apparently.
I'm not planning to take this, or any other biblical question, up with him. Not worth my time.
