       I have seen this teaching but I don't think I can buy it anymore
       than I can buy the interpretation Blade is presenting
       [/quote]
       [shadow=blue,left]Well at least my teaching is on authority of
       GOD's WORD not mine. 1 TIM 2:12  "But I suffer not a woman to
       teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in
       silence."
       Those are Jesus's Words not mine. There is only one
       interpretation to it, HIS interpretation.
       If you want to disagree with HIM fine as that a decision only
       you can make.
       The problem is, you are only going to get ONE Decision..... You
       either believe the Bible is His WORD and He says what He means
       and Means what He says or You do not!

       [/quote]I have been keeping my husband updated on this
       discussion since he and I talk a lot about the topic as per what
       scripture really does teach...he predicted you would not address
       the study I did and try to show me where I got it wrong...his
       theory is that men refuse to do so because they are looking for
       an excuse to justify their own sins.
       As to condescending..I do not know why you would say such a
       thing given it was a genuine thank you.  I have been trying to
       get someone other than my husband to discuss it with me and I
       became over excited I guess....which I guess you read as
       condescending.....sorry you took my excitement as condescending
       but disappointed that you refuse to show me where I got it
       wrong.

       [shadow=blue,left] Your question was put in one of your post
       which I have copied it here. You said: "So question I purposed
       we think about....I have something to think on while I am
       gone...if we understand I Tim the way these videos teach it,
       what does that tell the men about their authority in the church?
       More when I return...it's an interesting discussion.
       As the Bride of Christ, the church is to take on the role of the
       wife in Ephesians 5...so when we are talking about men and the
       church, the men must (if the traditional understanding is
       correct) stop trying to run the church and usurp their own
       authority over that of Christ and be silent..
       I had at one time brushed this off but after considerable
       research, have come back to it.
       You are confusing the term "Bride of Christ" with that of a
       woman spoken of in 1 Tm 2:11; 1 Cor 14:34; 1 Tim 2:12.
       The 'Bride of Christ' is patterned after the Jewish Wedding and
       as a prologue to the Rapture.  The first step of the "Betrothal"
       is for the prospective groom to negotiate a price that must be
       paid for the Bride. We see this in the purchase of both Leah and
       Rachel with 14 years of work for payment. We also see this in
       the sacrifice of Jesus Christ as the purchase for the Bride(His
       Church).
       Note: Once the purchase price was paid in full, the Groom and
       the Bride were considered in a marriage covenant, thus the
       Church (Body and Bride) of Jesus is a done deal.
       To be true to the pattern, the Groom would leave to His father's
       house to prepare a place for the Bride which usually took a year
       to complete.  The Bride during this time would prepare herself
       for marriage and gather her dowry. (1)
       Did not Jesus tell us that He is leaving to His father's house
       to prepare a place for us? John 14:2
       When the Groom returns for His wife to be with a "Shout".  (1 Th
       4:16).
       **
       Are the passages (1 Tim 2:11-12) we speak of obscure or straight
       forward.
       
       According to  Daniel Doriani, they have been traditionally
       interpreted in a straight forward manner. He says: "But
       suddenly, with the advent of modern feminism, many scholars have
       decided that these texts are obscure. Why has this happened? The
       texts did not change.”(2)
       As C. S. Lewis once remarked, “We all want progress, but if
       you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and
       walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns
       back soonest is the most progressive.”(3)
       Perceived clarity and purported certainty simply are not
       indicators of truth. (4)
       It appears that both complementarians and egalitarians hold to
       the "obscure in light of clear" hermeneutical principle. "If
       basic rules of hermeneutics can be so easily set aside when it
       is theologically convenient, upon what grounds do such
       concessions stop?"(5)
       “Gal 3:28 asserts that there is equality in the church, so
       women should be able to do everything men can do” (a common
       caricature propagated by critics of women pastors). Rather, the
       argument is, “Gal 3:28 asserts that there is inherently no
       sexism in the body of Christ, and forbidding women from doing
       certain activities [e.g., pastoring] solely because of their sex
       is sexist.”(6)
       **
       Where in the Bible is  Scripture interpret Scripture:
       2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All scripture is given by inspiration of
       God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
       correction, for instruction in righteousness:”" If that is true,
       then it follows that all Scripture has one divine author even if
       it has many human authors" (7).
       Yet, in John 20:31, gives the Book of JOHN  purpose as it does
       all of scripture in the Bible. One could take all the prophecies
       of Christ from Entry into Jerusalem to His resurrection as
       scripture interpreting scripture.
       During Creation, God rested on the seventh day. There is much
       about the amount of time each day contain yet in Exodus 20:8-11,
       these scripture define the 7th day as a 24 hour day.
       Summary: I have looked at many different articles, concerning
       the interpretation of 1 TIM 2:11-12 and have listed some of
       them. For me, there is only one way to read these scripture as I
       feel they are not obscure in any form nor do any other
       scriptures force a different view on their meaning. They are
       straight forward and along with 1 Cor 14:34-35, they imply the
       commandments of Jesus exactly as they were written. If your
       hermeneutics consider the Literal, Historical and Grammatical
       text as the Word of GOD, as the Commands He left  mankind  to
       follow, you will adhere to the traditional viewpoints of this
       argument.
       On the other hand if you interpret the WORD of GOD using a
       progressive agenda or world view, then these scriptures are
       obscure and hard to read and with other scriptures pulled from
       the Bible, allow the woman to do anything a man can do in the
       church.
       The scriptures in this case, do not mean what they say but
       rather what one feels like they should say or whatever is
       relative. In this case, we need to throw the Bible away for
       every word in the Bible is then suspect to it correctness, etc.
       Thank goodness, this is a personal decision to accept the Bible
       (KJV) as it says in 1 TIM 2:12.."But I suffer not a woman to
       teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in
       silence."
       You in the end, regardless of what I say, the bereans say, your
       husband says, will have to answer for your own decision on this
       matter.
       It is very clear that the Bride of Christ does not have anything
       to do with these passages but rather the coming Rapture of the
       Bride (His spiritual Church) is contrasted to a Jewish Wedding.
       Lori, I have spent many hours on this and have tried to give you
       a sensible answer. I can do no more...It is time for you to make
       that decision. I will pray that you make the right one according
       to my interpretation.
       Hope you have a lovely day tomorrow.
       Blade
       p..s say hi to your husband and I hope you bet him on that
       prophecy He made. Oh, well we know one thing, He is not a
       prophet or soothsayer! ;D

       [shadow=blue,left]To be quite frank, Lori.. 1 Tim 2:12 relegates
       Christian Women to a sphere of influence and action..their Home
       and raises these Women of Christ from the position of
       degradation and intellectual inferiority they have experienced
       for the past 2000 years in the pagan systems of the East and the
       West to a sphere within where Women should work exercising her
       power and influence---in the HOME. A special place given to her
       by GOD in His plan for both sexes while on this earth knowing
       that She is a fellow-heir to the Kingdom of God where sexes WILL
       no longer exist in the future. Until Mankind gets to this
       future place, he and she are still required to follow the
       teachings of Jesus Christ.
       Yet, in her infinite wisdom, the Modern woman rejects this plan,
       jumping right back into the very cesspool of inferiority she
       experienced in earlier years.
       Yes, we are both a part of the Church(Body and the Bride) of
       Jesus Christ, yet this is a spiritual kingdom that we have only

       their spirit from this world and the bodies of those who have
       died "in Christ" are resurrected and transfigured;  the plan of

       the Bible for both Man and Woman will remain in effect.
       The pagan world may ignore the teaching of Paul by rejecting the
       clear straightforward commands of our Lord,like 1 Tim 2:9-15 yet
       in the end, those Christian Women who follow the traditional

       what do you NOT understand about me wanting to understand I
       Tim. in light of the traditional teaching because it is the
       comfortable teaching to me but that I can't find that
       understanding when I actually take time to study the passage in
       light of scripture interpreting scripture?

       see above...you keep asserting your understanding is the right
       one but refuse to look at the study I did and show me where I
       went wrong.  How can I consider myself wrong when no one will
       show me where the error is?  In fact, in place of studying the
       passage, you make false assumptions and assertions of what I am
       saying and never once consider that what I am understanding from
       my study of the text, is a much much harder thing to obey.

       So now you want to claim that following traditions of man are
       more important than following the Commands of God?  How
       strange...I honestly believe we should challenge every tradition
       of man against what scripture really does say if we want to
       please God not man!!!!!!!!!!!!
