1 tim 3:11. No possessive pronouns. There is no word for wife in greek. And the word LIKEWISE is a big deal. See john MacArthurs book, phil Johnson also explains it well. Its a problem when church men ring fence the women from ever holding the mysteries of the faith, contrary to scriptures. Scripture gives specific instructions for Female deacon office.
I can't see it either, John McCarthy has women deacons but I just can't see it myself, reading Timothy... But yes women can Preach to other women, Teach Children, hold women bible readings etc...
@@DeaconBeanCooter I should hope so, he's been studying much longer than me... maybe he's right about this maybe he isn't, the guy speaking certainly doesn't believe he's right does he? Like he said he won't stop having fellowship because of this view point and not would I, would you?
To be fair, it’s not like Paul doesn’t jump back & forth between thoughts in some of his other letters. I’m not sure awkwardness of flow would necessarily be a primary factor in determining if it refers to women servants or the wives of servants.
