I did catch your statement implying that women preachers was never an apologetical issue in Christian circles. I almost fell out of my chair when I read this! Good grief, this issue has been debated for eons...yet you imply that it's "never been an apologetical issue"??????????? Seriously, you're just sinking further & further unbeknownst to you.
Context is the topic/subject matter at hand. Are you denying this? Yes [for about the 7th time now...Ho-Hum???] culture/history can flow into context, but it does not render said passage inapplicable to the church. Scorn it all day long, makes noooo difference to me. You apparently aren't the "apologist/scholar" you would have everyone believe on here. In sum, "Ain't fallin' for it!"
Forced to run, library closing. Brifly scanned your post regarding exegesis. My response: AND??? I've never denied this [let's see this makes probably about 8 times I've said...wierd???]..........so, back to the text.
Look, we'll not agree on hermeneutics, so how about we just stick to the actual text of I Tim. 2, for starters. Try to respond sometime Thurs. |
1) "Apologetic trick" remember when you said that? Nothing we are discussing here has anything to do with the field of Apologetics. Apologetics speaks in defense of issues much more broad (defending Christianity in general, existence of God, presenting a rational basis for faith, and exposing flaws of non-Christian worldviews. If you wanted to loosely use the word "apologist" sure. Anyhow. You won't ever (of course) admit or agree you had no clue when you said what you did.
2) Historical-cultural context most assuredly can change the way we view/see/intepret the Text. I could list examples, but once I'll be brief and just explain to you these basic concepts of hermeneutics.
3) I'm not an apologist or scholar. I'm a student. I've never pretended to be such. You, however, have acted as a poser and I've simply called you out on it. The more you protest, the more you hang yourself.
A correct hermeneutic is paramount and fundamentally important to understanding the authorial intent of
1 Timothy 2.
