God's Gals: A Woman's Place Is in the Ministry-Case Closed!"I do not permit a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man but to be in silence." 1st Timothy 2:12 is one in a short list of passages that have been used by male leadership in religious arenas to justify the institutional exclusion of the Woman Believer from significant leadership roles. Christian and non-Christian circles alike have subjected the woman to this spiritual oppression and used the Bible to justify it as an act of God.GOD's Gals gives proof that this passage has been misunderstood due to a faulty translation and because we totally missed the subject-Honoring the Spiritual Authority of God's Word. The accurate translation of this passage along with information regarding the social environment of Paul's day make a rather strong case that the Partially Redeemed Woman theology is not an act of God but a glaring indictment against man's ruler complex.The Bible contends that all believers have been destined to live in the freedom that Christ's death provided (Galatians 5:1) and the author believes that this book will play a part once and for all in releasing every oppressor and oppressed woman. LET THE HEALING BEGIN. |
