Where does the Bible mandate women to teach?

Question

Who should they teach?
What should they teach?
Why should they teach?
Please give references in context.

I know the answer.
The context is for those who would subvert the Word of God.

You might have to use the synonym "train" for your the Bible version that you are using.

Sorry, TG-this time you'll have to search harder. I did not say anything about teaching in church. Try again :)

I agree with everything that TG said, and Dee is right about the role of women in the home (not the first part). We know that many churches get it wrong when they allow women teachers/preachers. But the Bible does have a mandate stating that women are to teach and it speaks of specifics. Gnosis was correct in what he said, but women need to know the exact content of the passage I am referring to.

"Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, ACCURATELY handling the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15

Dear Happy-we are talkig about God's Word-not mine. If you pray for wisdom and understanding, He will show you.

Answer 1

WOMEN DO NOT TEACH

1 Timothy 2:11-14 "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."



Strong’s Concordance 1321. didasko did-as'-ko a prolonged (causative) form of a primary verb dao (to learn); to teach (in the same broad application):--teach.



WOMEN TEACH

Titus 2:3-5 "The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may TEACH the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed."


Strong’s Concordance 4994. sophronizo so-fron-id'-zo from 4998; to make of sound mind, i.e. (figuratively) to discipline or correct:--teach to be sober.



WHO: Older women are to teach younger women

WHAT: women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands

WHY: that the word of God be not blasphemed


Women can teach-as long as they do it in obedience with the Word. Throughout the Bible, God has shown us what He expects of us. We have a mandate to admonish those women who are not doing what Titus says because it causes the Word to be blasphemed when people see a Christians home that is disarray and then children are unruly or have been molested because the mother left her post. Women are to teach other women how to be women of God.

Some verses showing us what our role is:

Proverbs 31:10-end

Proverbs 12:4 A wife of noble character is her husband's crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.

Proverbs 18:22 He who finds a wife finds what is good and receives favor from the LORD.

Proverbs 19:13 A foolish son is his father's ruin, and a quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping.

Proverbs 19:14Houses and wealth are inherited from parents, but a prudent wife is from the LORD.

Proverbs 21:9Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

Proverbs 21:19 Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and ill-tempered wife.

Proverbs 25:24 Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

Proverbs 27:15-16 A quarrelsome wife is like a constant dripping on a rainy day; restraining her is like restraining the wind or grasping oil with the hand.

Proverbs 31:10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.

Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.


*It seems to me that you are trying to get women to study and learn what we should be doing to obey the Word. Not just blast off about what we think we should be doing because that is what the world is doing.

Christian society has yielded to pressure from the world because of the feminist agenda-wanting women to be equal to men. But God's way is different from the world's way. He has stated his desire for men and women to be different. It is what makes for a good relationship, a good marriage. And when a woman humbles herself and submits to her husband, even though he is leading in the wrong direction, she is being an example of the church that submits fully to the Will of God. She is gaining favor in God's eyes. That is what is really important-not what the world thinks.

Answer 2

The Bible says that women who speak for themselves are "shameful" 1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Answer 3

If you always need references in context you may be missing the point.
Part of our maturing and growing as a soul is defining for ourselves what are our values and opinions with regards to certains themes.
This is part of our growth and maturation.
So deep down and without referring to any text, what do You think?

Answer 4

The Bible answers it quite plainly.


I Cor.14:34-35 "Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.'

I Tim.2:12-14 "And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression."

I Cor.11:3 'But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman Is man, and the head of Christ Is God."

These passages give the answer to your question, and the answer is: A woman has no place "in the pulpit and preaching or expounding on the word of God in a mixed audience.'

There are many important responsibilities that women must fulfill (cf I Tim.5:9-10; Phil.4:2-3; Acts 9:36-9; Rom.16:1; Tit.2:4-5). Some of women's responsibilities involve teaching (cf. I Tim.5:2; Tit.2:1-4). However, the woman's teaching is not to be In the public assembly (mixed audience) as the above passages clearly teach. The word translated "teach" in 1 Tim. 2:12 means "to hold discourse with others in order to instruct them, deliver didactic discourses" (Thayer, Greek-English Lexicon of the N.T.).

Because of the demands of Women's Liberation in our society many denominations have installed women in positions for which there is no biblical authority. Men and women are equal in the sight of God. Gods promise of eternal inheritance is the same for both men and women (Gal.3:28; 1 Pet.3:8). However, equality does not negate the fact that God has set forth different roles that must be fulfilled by each. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are equal in power, purpose, and deity. However, each has a different role to fulfill (cf I Cor.11:3). Likewise, men and women are equal in the sight of God, yet He has set forth different roles for each. This is God prerogative. He is Lord and we must submit to His will (Col.3:17). Whether a man or a woman, each has plenty to do in simply fulfilling the responsibilities of the role that God has set forth for each. For one to try to fulfill the role of the other Is not only futile, it is sinful.

Answer 5

I don't think the Bible mentions whether or not women should teach, but it certainly mandates humility, in not rushing out to "be the man" and hold occupations.

You'd have to ask someone to piece all the verses together to see whether it leans toward or against women teaching, but in a Biblically perfect world, I wouldn't be surprised if women were to be full-time mothers and wives (probably homeschool teachers), and not occupational teachers.

Answer 6

Women in the Bible could be leaders of the peoples,but could not be of the Priestly class,however this does not mean that Mothers could not teach their children for example and I am sure many did.

Answer 7

Do you realize how narrow-minded and sexist your post is? Nice try, attempting to use the Bible as a cover for your dark ages mindset. People like you really get on my nerves.

You and Earl D appear to come from the same idiotic gene pool.

Answer 8

Are you serious?
It sounds like you have some female issues.
I am a man, and I am offended by your narrow mindedness,
please, out of the dark ages into the future!

Answer 9

In the pages of the Bible.

Here's your sign.

Answer 10

It doesn't. In Corthians it says "women are to be silent in the church"
