Mark

Ok i watched the first one. Thats all i have time for atm. There didn’t seem to be much to drastically discuss at this stage. I’m guessing that comes in the next couple of videos.

I would like to state my position on woman ‘teaching’ because there is ovbiously alot of different ideas about this out there. Do i think a woman can be gifted to teach…yes. Do i think God doesn’t want women to teach men…no.

I believe that we all teach each other at different times and in different ways. It is inevitable that men will sit under women teaching at various times and places. Where i do not believe a woman should teach is in the church. The 2 main texts concerned here are generally 1 Tim and 1 Cor 14. Both of these texts are within the framework of church worship and propriety, therefore that is why i believe Paul is restricting women teaching in that specific place.

‘Teaching’ is thrown aroung loosely regarding sunday school, youth, mission to try and show how ridiculous a comp position is. Realistically though this is not the setting of Pauls letters, so we should not throw into the text all other various instances of teaching which we might think of.

I do think God has gifted women to teach, i also believe he has put a parameter around that in regards to Church worship. Hope this clarifies my position a little.

Look forward to watching the rest of the videos, although i may struggle to understand the weird accents these people have 🙂
