Woman in the creation and after the fall Genesis presents gender equality, rather than male leadership, as humanity’s created state.1It teaches that man and woman are created equally in the image of God and together have dominion over the earth (Gen 1:26–27). Their equality is not limited to spiritual standing before God, but applies to their domin...
Jesus in all his words and deeds left us an example to treat women as equals with men, never subordinated or restricted in role (Matt 12:49–50; 15:38; 25:31–46; Mark 3:34–35; Luke 8:21; 11:27–28). His treatment of women as equals defied the judicial, social, and religious customs of his day. On judicial matters where women’s rights were curtailed, ...
Paul many times affirms the equality of man and woman by identifying women as laboring alongside men in ministry, by affirming many theological truths that entail the equality of men and women, and by explicitly affirming their equality. Paul’s affirmations of women in ministry In Rom 16:1–16, Paul greets by name ten people he identifies as colleag...
Despite Paul’s many affirmations of gender equality, the idea persists that Paul is a champion of male rule in the church. Why? Primarily because of popular interpretations of a few passages: 1 Tim 2:12 (“I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man”); 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1 (male-only overseer requirements); and 1 Cor 14:34–35 (“Let ...
Scripture’s affirmations of the equality of men and women and its affirmations of women called by God to exercise authority alongside or over men are so clear and numerous that to attempt to deny them all is like a person caught in an avalanche thinking, “I will evade each rock or clump of snow as it comes, and none will hit me.” Just as the totali...
1 Timothy 2:11-15 ESV / 9 helpful votesHelpfulNot Helpful. Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
There are very good reasons for thinking Paul is referring to men and women (rather than husbands and wives) in this passage. However, if we understand Paul to be referring to “authority,” then this would imply that all men have authority over all women in the church. Such a reading is highly implausible. After all, women are said to ...

Dec 20, 2013 · Gen. 3 v16 is a “cause and effect” clause and not a command . The woman is not to desire ( =a bad thing) to controll or rule her husband and he will not Rule (= a bad thing) over her.This is the effect of a faulty deceptive desire Eve [women] have brought into. God desires a man to rule his wife and children but he must do so well.
