1066 1 Tim.2.11-15 Strategy to Counter False Teaching Pt.4—Teaching and Authority in the Church

Paul’s instruction in 1 Timothy 2:11–15 is grounded in creation, not culture, and reflects God’s original design for male and female roles. Teaching and authority in the church are roles given to men, while women are to learn quietly and embrace their God-given role, especially in motherhood. Paul, like Jesus, appeals to creation to interpret Scripture. Women, like men, find salvation through faith, expressed in love, holiness, and self-restraint—not by assuming authority in the church but by living in alignment with God’s design.
