What Does 1 Timothy 211 15 Mean

I was challenged to present my view of 1 Timothy 2:11-15 on another blog and I thought it would be good to summarize my view on my own blog. Here is the teaching from “Women in Ministry Silenced or Set Free

Could The Messiah Have Been A Woman

Since God is neither male nor female, some have suggested that the Messiah could have been born a female. I would respectfully like to differ with that view

With all of the talk on submission of a wife, we should at least grant that submission is not related to suppression of God’s gifts.

Another Complementarian Pastor Responds

I am preparing a talk on women in ministry partly based on questions and challenges presented to me by a complementarian Pastor from a large denomination which restricts women from teaching the bible to men. Here are excerpts that he gave regarding our DVD teaching series on Women in Ministry:

Can Complementarians Agree To Disagree

I sent a copy of our DVD “Women in Ministry Silenced or Set Free. ” to the Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood in February of 2006 and this summer I finally received a response

Isnt A Woman From 1 Timothy 2 Clear That She Is Generic Woman

> Q: You say that “a woman” in 1 Timothy 2:11 & 12 is the same terminology as Paul calling “a man” living in sin in 1 Corinthians 5. Wouldn’t you have to admit that the normal grammatical reading in 1 Corinthians 5 which says that Paul is talking about a particular man, not “all men”, is clearer
