The Woman's Role: The Pauline Controversy

I've just seen an older woman wearing a t-shirt with the the phrase: "Women belong everywhere where decisions are being made." What it should say is: "Women do not belong anywhere where decisions are being made," and it should have the Scriptural reference, which is below.

Paul, in his letter to Timothy, tells us what the God-ordained role of the woman is: (1 Timothy 2:11-15 NKJ)

Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

It is plain to see for all who claim to follow God-in-Christ, and claim His Sword as their own - which is the Word, the Bible - that a woman is not to hold any authority over a man. Authority in the sense meaning the power to direct someone's life at whim.

Further, painfully obvious to any reasonable person is the artificial elevation of the modern woman, which is due to the weakness and permission of men. This meaning that all men of the modern age have allowed women to hold authority over them. But, women are not innocent victims of this Lawlessness.

Though women have been let down by men, brainwashed into thinking that they are capable of leading, the woman has a duty to refuse that anti-Christ worldly demand that she be "independent." Second to God-in-Christ, the woman must cleave unto the authority of the men in her life, looking to them and asking for direction - these men being her earthly-father, her brother, her husband, or even an honest-to-goodness male friend.

Among these modern times and sensibilities, we see that women in positions of power violate God's Law. That Law being that the woman is the help-mate and subordinate to men. And if anyone should claim "Well that's just Paul," and/or dismiss these Truths, then I must ask: Do you believe in God? In Christ? In the Bible? If yes to any of those, then you must understand that Paul was personally ordained as an Apostle by Christ Himself on that Damascus road, and any word of Paul's in the Bible is thus as Christ's own. And, after all, Paul is in the Bible. Are you? No. So who are you to dismiss what Paul says?

Strive to be Lawful-in-Christ,
Logos Prevailing.
