Hi Jay,

There have been numerous posts with massive discussion here on Cheryl’s blog related to 1 Timothy 2:11-15. The conclusion of Cheryl and those like minded here is that this passage isn’t even addressing the church setting, let alone “clearly state[ing] that women should not speak in church, much less teach or lead”. If you look carefully at the Greek and keep in mind Paul’s overall theme, which is false teaching, you will see that the last half of 1 Timothy 2 is about a specific woman in Ephesus who was engaged in false teaching and bullying of her husband at home. I invite you to check the topical index here and look into some of these discussions regarding 1 Timothy 2. I think you will find them fascinating and hopefully enlightening.
