Men To Pray Women To Adorn Themselves

bearded. Meaning male as in

Gen 50:7

The Hebrew word for elder women “gadol” meaning great as in

Gen 29:16

Paul writes to Timothy

1 Tim 3:1

Saying, If a man desire the office of a (bishop), he desires a good work. The word bishop is similar to overseer as used in

Acts 20:28

In this place it states the Holy Ghost made them overseers. These were men not women as later in

Acts 21:5

It says their wives and children came and kneeled down as they parted.

Paul states 1 Tim 3:2

That a bishop must be blameless the husband of one wife. One that ruleth his own house having his children in subjection. If a man know not how to rule his own house how shall he take care of the church of God.

Here we are to understand the bishop or overseer is a man not a women.

The Apostle does make distinction between the man and the women and argues his point from scripture.

Men To Pray Women To Adorn Themselves

1 Tim 3:8

He says I will that men pray every where lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

In like manor also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel with shame faced ness and sobriety.

Adam was first formed then Eve.

Adam was not deceived but the women being deceived was in the transgression.

I do not wish to be controversial but I believe the clear light of scripture should direct us and we should not be wiser that what is written. Obedience to Gods Word is better that sacrifice. Remember what happened to king Saul. I believe it is against the word of God to ordain women as elders.

Yours Sincerely in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ
