1 Timothy 2: Women in the Church
10/06/24 • 46 min
Does Paul teach that women are not equal? No.
Does he teach that women must be under authority? Yes
Does he teach that women have less value in church matters? No.
But Paul does teach that even among the Trinity there is a hierarchy, and an authority structure -- and that extends to our families as well as to the local church. We all -- men and women -- have important roles to play in our churches.
