Andrew Bartlett's argument: verse 11 contrasts with verse 12

ALL The Debates Over 1 Tim 2_11-15: Women in Ministry part 12 (it took me a year to make this) 01:17:09 – 01:20:43

Mike addresses the egalitarian argument that the positive command to learn (v.11) contrasts with and limits the restriction in v.12.

Andrew Bartlett argues that 'let a woman learn quietly' in v.11 sets up a contrast with v.12: Paul is saying women should learn (positive), and in the process of learning they should not yet teach (temporary restriction while they gain education). Once educated, the restriction would no longer apply. Mike rebuts this by noting that the restriction in v.12 is grounded in creation order (vv.13-14), not in a woman's current education level. If it were about education, Paul would have said 'until she has learned,' not 'for Adam was formed first.'
