Paul's emphasis on the humanity/birth of Jesus supports a childbearing reference

ALL The Debates Over 1 Tim 2_11-15: Women in Ministry part 12 (it took me a year to make this) 10:51:11 – 10:52:41

Mike shows that Paul does emphasize the Incarnation and birth of Christ in his theology.

Mike cites Galatians 4:4: 'In the fullness of time God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law.' Paul explicitly connects salvation to Jesus being 'born of a woman.' The Incarnation and birth of Christ are important in Paul's theology. While Paul doesn't use the specific word teknogonia elsewhere for the Messiah's birth, the concept of being born of a woman as essential to salvation is clearly Pauline. This provides supporting evidence that Paul could use childbearing language in connection with the Messiah.
