THE MOST MISUSED VERSE ON WOMEN IN MINISTRY is 1 Timothy 2:12. We untagle the meaning in this episode of The Eden Podcast! We ask and answer just WHO were the men and women of 1 Timothy 2:8 and 9-15?? 1 Timothy 3:1 gives the clue! These were the wayward men and women overseers Timothy was left in Ephesus to correct.

There is so much error-filled teaching on these verses to be set aside. Here we use the patterns of the passage to unlock the positive meaning of these verses for men and women who aspire to oversight in the church. From Book 3 in The Eden Book Series by Bruce C. E. Fleming.

The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?

Don't miss verse 2 when you study 1 Corinthians 11. Paul praises the believers for following what he had taught them. Only from verse 17 on does he criticize them regarding a different topic.

What did Paul teach about women in church? He said they were in charge of their own heads and should keep practicing what he had taught them.

In 1 Corinthians 11 and 14 Paul was for participation by women! Bruce reads and comments on Chapter 1 of his Book 4 in the Eden Book Series entitled "Because of Eden, 1 Cor 11, 14 and 1 Peter 3, Quotations Refuted and Witnessing Spouses."

1 Timothy is FOR women in ministry not against them! The author reads and comments on Chapter 1 of Book 3 in The Eden Book Series entitled "Back to Eden, 1 Timothy 2:8-3:16, Corrected and Restored by Jesus the Faithful Word."

Did you know?

• Paul writes about three groups that corresponded to his three sins (blasphemers, persecutors and disrupters). The third group was made up of the wayward men and women overseers Timothy had been assigned to correct.
• 1 Timothy 2:12 is only the second half of the Greek sentence that starts in verses 11. And it is the subordinate part.
• 1 Timothy 3:1 is the center of the jump, jump, high jump pattern that runs from 1:18-3:16. Jesus the faithful logos restores those who aspire to minister once again!
