1 Timothy 2:11-15 (King James Version)
11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
We don't need to flinch at these passages nor do we have to apply custom to them.
This is speaking of the husband and wife relationship clearly.
The word should be correctly translated from the greek wife not woman
and husband not man. A wife is not to usurp authority over her husband. She is not to teach him though they may share things and he may be open to her bible understanding. He is clearly the leader in the home. It is a very nice thing to have a home in biblical order.
Going back to the Adam and Eve relationship is the clue here is the clue.
Adam and Eve were the first couple. Then the word goes on to speak of childbearing. Women are not saved from sin by childbearing. They are promised a promise if they stay in the Biblical order of creation and has faith and love and holiness in her life. Lets be fair about the passage.
