On Women's Ordination: 4 Critical Questions

Описание к видео On Women's Ordination: 4 Critical Questions

The Holy Scriptures offer two prohibitions on women's ordination (and pastoral activity).

As far as I can tell, there are four arguments used to dismiss or obscure these texts. I'd like to offer four critical questions to these arguments.

The texts:
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
1 Timothy 2:11-12

The arguments against a clear reading:
#1: CULTURE NEGATIVE
Paul was a product of his patriarchal culture, and wrote wrongly.
Question: What do you do when you don't like what the Bible says?

#2: CULTURE POSITIVE
Paul was right for his time and circumstances, but wrong for ours.
Question: How do you know if the circumstances are right or wrong?

#3: OBSCURE
The other texts of the Bible indicate a more pastoral role for women.
Question: Can we have all the texts?

#4: ABSTRACTION
It's not speaking and teaching, but ordination, that is forbidden.
Question: What do the words say?

I'm looking forward to the conversation in the comments.

Christ is risen!
