    Brother Piper, whilst I disagree with your conclusion in this instance (for the reason laid out below) I truly thank you for your reasoned words and taking the time to share and the general wisdom you bring to bear from the scriptures which edify our walk in Christ.
    1. Women as Leaders in the Early Church
    - Priscilla (Acts 18:26): Along with her husband Aquila, she taught Apollos, a learned man in Scripture.
    - Phoebe (Romans 16:1-2): A deacon and benefactor who likely delivered and possibly interpreted Paul's letter to the Romans.
    - Junia (Romans 16:7): Identified as "outstanding among the apostles," indicating a significant leadership role.
    2. Women as Leaders in the Old Testament:
    - Deborah (Judges 4-5): A judge and prophet who led Israel spiritually and militarily.
    - Miriam (Exodus 15:20-21): A prophet who led alongside Moses and Aaron.
    3. Women in the Ministry of Jesus:
    - Mary Magdalene (John 20:17): The first to witness and proclaim the resurrection of Jesus.
    - Jesus’ Inclusivity: Women like Mary of Bethany sat at Jesus' feet as disciples (Luke 10:38-42), an action traditionally reserved for men.
    1. I have always found the bible to be eminently practical, no sex before marriage, caution against lust even in the mind, harder for the rich to get to heaven - all these are practical instructions which speak to the reality of our world. But to both state that women are just as smart and as capable leaders as men and to then state - but in the church they cannot take on a leadership role ever under any circumstance. That seems highly impractical, which is why we then have to consider both the points above and if the passage was for that specific church - which this was a letter to.
    None the less, these are merely doctrinal differences, we believe in the core of the gospel - Christ death, resurrection, grace and redemption as we all 'Work our our salvation with fear and treambling'
    God Speed.

      Nightowl, my dear brother
      Encourage legalism. Our servants, the lawyers, were condemned by the Liar's son
      harshly in the New Words:
      But He said, “Woe to you lawyers as well! For you load people with burdens
      that are hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens
      with one of your fingers.
      And even more:
      Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge;
      you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering.”
      The letter of the law kills, so let it do its job. Even the New Words say:
      But we know that the law is good,...
      So teach legalism. Teach that whatever a female speaks indoors
      has more weight than if she speaks it outdoors.
      Make sure "the pulpit" is a mystical place indoors,
      in their phony religion. Call it a 'sanctuary', whatever that is. If a female does
      speak from "the pulpit" be sure all in attendance know that she is only being
      ALLOWED TO SPEAK BECAUSE A MALE ALLOWED IT.

      can be a pastor in the New Covenant. Simple really.

      Men and women are perfectly equal spiritually. She was a pastor, according to the scriptures. This is how the Judges are described in Chronicles, by God.
      In all places where I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’

      Some believe that pastor (or shepherd), is a position that
      was created in the New Covenant. This is not true. In the Old Testament
      shepherds are mentioned multiple times. Often in a negative way.
      “My people have become lost sheep;

      For an entire chapter on worthless shepherds, the reader may
      check out Ezekiel 34.
      When the shepherd over Israel died, the people went back into sin. That is because the Judge was the most important spiritual leader of this time period.
      But it came about, when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them and bow down to them; they did not abandon their practices or their obstinate ways.

      I think you can do some fundamental things that worked for me in my local reality:
      1. Pray for your church. And what i mean by praying is interceed, praying every day, several times a day, put this cause before the Lord. If His will, you will start see changings.
      2. Make your ENTIRE LIFE conformed to the doctrine. Make yourself irreprensible (but not for comparison, by love). "How can you say to your brother 'let me take the speck out of your eye', when there is a log in your own eye?"
      3. Talk to someone directly. Make them know your complaint with the word. If they don't listen, call a testimony, ecc...
      4. Make sure you do those things with LOVE. If you pray, do it with love, with compassion for the souls, for your church that is the very body of Christ. If you talk, talk with love, moved by it. If you lack at this, ask God for love and turn back to point 2.
      Remember, running away is the easiest way, not the right one (guess if Jesus behave like this with us... I think we would be done)
      Hope this helps, God bless you🙏

    “Exercise authority” (ESV) is NOT (in Greek) what the elders are called to do in 1 Timothy, because the word is not exousia- it is authenten (domineer, usurp, or in ancient greek: kill)
    In fact, that word authenten is used nowhere else in the New Testament. Paul has a very specific ban of a kind of teaching in mind - namely women who are trying to domineer or usurp authority in their teaching. This fits with the overall context of the letter which is correcting false doctrine and even of 2 Timothy where women were led astray by false teaching having to do with forbidding marriage (hence childbirth) and abstaining from certain foods. (2Tim. 3:6-4:12)
    Banning women from teaching (with proper authority and for all time) cannot be deduced from this text.

      @@Szpak-123 The word "poimen" in Greek is what we would usually associate with the word "pastor", although as you state, it means shepherd. Aside from its usages in reference to Jesus, it is most prominently described in relation to the church in 1 Peter 5 as you show. Peter exhorts *elders* to shepherd (poimen) the flock. This signifies that all that hold the church role of poimen should also hold the role (and have the requirements of) an elder. The roles of poimen and elder in the church are certainly different than the role of a judge over Israel. Judges were chosen by God to spiritually, legally, and militarily lead Israel. Poimen are called to spiritually lead and teach the church, but not to lead them to war or solve their legal disputes. While you could argue that the role of Judge is a wider umbrella than that of poimen, I do not believe you've adequately shown that poimen and judge are the same, especially due to the differences in role and time periods in which they appear.

      And all of those reasons are likely influenced heavily by society, rather than scripture, desperately seeking extrabiblical evidence against what is otherwise a clear passage supported elsewhere in scripture (see 1 Timothy 3:1-7, Titus 1:5-9). God is no stranger to being counter-cultural. God selected women to be among the first people to spread the word that Jesus had risen. In 1 Timothy 2:11, we see that women *should* learn (the scriptures, biblical discipline, etc.), an inarguably counter cultural idea at the time. And yet simultaneously, God is no stranger to clearly delineating roles of men and women (Genesis 1, Ephesians 5, 1 Corinthians 11, 1 Timothy 3, Titus 1 and 2, Colossians 3, 1 Peter 3, to name a few). The movement that seeks to depose God's clearly ordained instruction for men and women in the church and at home, ultimately seeks to make unclear the relationship between Christ and his church. Christ, depicted as the groom, is given spiritual authority and leadership over his church (depicted as the bride). Husbands are given spiritual authority (and indeed, the responsibility to spiritually lead as Christ does to his church) over their wives. And yes, God specifically calls men, not women, to be elders and authorities in the church, to spiritually lead the rest of the church.

      I pray that the Lord leads you to a gentle and quiet spirit as described in 1 Peter 3, and that your husband (or future husband) lives his responsibility of 1 Peter 3 and Ephesians 5 as well. God bless.

      @ you are the one in error. Not having a dick ford not mean I am less than someone with a white male privilege card. My husband died and that was the nicest thing he ever did for me. I have a PhD and make damned good money and don’t have to submit to someone who thinks weird genitalia makes him smarter or better. Let’s not forget that the Bible was written by men in their best interests.

    When it comes to a woman teaching (preaching in church), I believe that was said by Paul. Doesn't state the "Lord says." It was Paul's personal opinion.

      Every word qritten by Paul in the Bible is equal to any word said by Christ himself...bc they were all said by God. Inspired means God breathed. There is not a higher or lower degree of inspiration, or value, in Scripture, based on who said it.

      Paul is clear when he begins to state his own opinion. See 1 Corinthians 7 for the numerous times Paul goes "back and forth" between his word and God's. The interjections found in 1 Corinthians 7 are not found in 1 Timothy 2, nor in the other instances of delineating men's and women's roles in the church.

      Well. Paul is dealing with people who thinks his words are not from God in 2 Cor 10 when he defends his authority!

      Paul had a minimum of two serious false teachings
      Paul believed he was a spiritual 'father' that gave birth to Christians.
      Paul taught that certain men were deified.
      There is no reason to blindly accept his teachings about Christian
      women in ministry.
      (Each of the above is addressed by me. Reply if there is interest.)
      Paul was heavily influenced by his culture and pride, as you
      seem to understand.

      @@Szpak-123 Paul had zero false teachings recorded in the canonical scriptures. All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, and training in righteousness (2 Tim 3:16-17). I do not know off the top of my head which passages you are referring to, but to the first, it is important to consider that scripture is filled with allegories and metaphors (e.g. the "Body of Christ"), and it is important to understand when portions of text should be taken literally or metaphorically. Generally, this is not difficult, as the metaphor will be repeated throughout scripture and further clarified on how and why it is used. To the second (and generally to the idea that Paul has any false teachings, or that Paul's or any other writer of scripture should cause division in the church), I will point you to 1 Corinthians 1:10-17. Hermeneutic zero is to let scripture interpret scripture. There are many reasons to (not blindly!) accept Paul's teachings about women in ministry. Jesus was no stranger to being culturally controversial, and yet he only chose men to be his apostles. Later, Jesus gave to women the important role of being among the first to spread the news of his resurrection. Note here, that spreading that news (or generally, of the Gospel) is not the same as teaching or instruction (as Paul references several times in his letters, as is the case in this video).
