Women in the Bible
Thank you so much for doing this podcast! It has been such a blessing in my life! I have deeply struggled with my role as a woman, my value to God, and especially 1 Timothy 2:11-14. I felt deeply disheartened and burdened by the view many people in the Church hold that women are only meant for having children and that we can’t teach men. As a lawyer, I have worked very hard to get to where I am in life and to be told that I should give that up and stay at home is crushing to me. I have done deep research into 1 Timothy 2, and I am confident that it is not a blanket prohibition on women teaching. My frustration is that many major pastors do not want to dig deep into this verse and that they only want to view the surface meaning. If we only take it at face-value, it means women must not just be saved by faith, but also by having children. What a tremendous weight that is! If that’s true, then I am not currently saved. Do pastors not realize what the implications are of their interpretation? Why do so many not take it seriously what they are saying to half the population? I’ve struggled so much that I have felt burdened by legalism and not loved by God. I read a book called “I Suffer Not a Woman” by Catherine and Richard Kroeger, and then I eventually found this podcast. Thank you so much for what you do! You have greatly contributed to my sense of freedom in the Lord! God bless all of you!
