2 Timothy 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
Scripture isn't easy! The Bible is perhaps the most complex book ever written. We have to read it carefully and prayerfully. We must also look into the context... The Circumstances that form the setting. There are times where we need to look into the Greek and Hebrew, the original language of the text, to further understand the meaning of the passage. (Blueletterbible.org is a great help in that btw)
Today we are going to talk about scriptures that have been used against women. On the cover these scriptures seem to clearly declare that women should not speak in Church or even ask questions. It says that they should be silent and that it is a shame or disgrace for them to be heard... yikes!
So what do we do with this? Does Paul, the author of these verses, have something against women? Does God not value women in ministry? Is it possible that these verses have been misunderstood and perhaps twisted?
We will look into the Context. We will dive into Greek. We will draw upon historical evidence. We will do all of this to "Correctly handle the Word of Truth."
