Subjection

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Everyone seems to be bringing out the scriptures in 1 Tim 2 regarding
usurping authority, etc.
But what about 1 Tim 3 and Titus 1.

If you can find a lady that can fulfill the office of a Bishop (or Deacon for
that matter) as told in these scriptures, I'll be more than willing to be
under her subjection and teaching.  But unless she is living in sin as of the
days of Sodom & Gomorrah it will be impossible for her to fulfill this office
:-) :-) :-)....."husband of one wife" (1 Tim 3:2 & Titus 1:6);  One that
ruleth well "his" own house (1 Tim 3:4)  And these scriptures are definitely
speaking of being a ruler or pastor over a church as told in 1 Tim
3:5...."For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take
care of the church of God?"

Otherwise, I would only be required to be under the subjection of a woman as
explained in Titus 2:4...."that they may teach the young women to be sober,
to love their husbands, to love their children..."

Ladies, I think these scriptures are definitely gender specific.....

Just my two cents worth.....Sis. Jan
