You are correct. 1 Timothy 2:11-15 gives us instruction concerning function in the church, how God has designed it to be. Verse 11 says "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection."
That is the number one command. What is the woman's role in the church? Learn, in all submission, or subjection.
In Verse 12 Paul says But I suffer not, that is I do not allow a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man.
We're talking about doctrinal issues in the church. A woman is not to teach, nor to take the authenticity of man, don't take over for him, but to be in silence. That's just what he said. They are to learn in silence. The reason is found in Verse 13.
The church is to function in the order God has designed.
Now to the church in Corinth, Paul wrote this: But I would have you to know that the head of every man is Christ. And the head of the woman is the man. And the head of Christ is God.
There is a type of chain of command that God has established way back in Genesis Chapter 3. And that command is followed in the church.
It's not talking about women not having the same ability, or being better than a man or a man being better than a woman. It has nothing to do with that.
We're talking about responsibility of function. God has chosen the man to pray, and to teach. And He's chosen the woman to be the man's helpmate and to represent the church.
This is God's proper order for the church. Putting the woman in a position of authority over the man in the church would be out of proper order, and would go against how God intended the church to function.
We're talking about responsibility, not one person is better than the other. And God says that if the man functions this way, and the woman functions this way, the church will be fine, and the home will be fine!
According to 1Corinthians 14: 34 , 1 Timothy 2: 11-14 women are not to teach Bible to men. However, I see
many churches women are teaching Bible today. Is this correct?
Mark Chapter 10:14-15, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein.
Acts 1:7-11, And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Mathew 28:1
Mark 16:1-8
Luke 24:1-12
John 20:1-18.
Should answer your Question about whether Jesus is still in the grave.
Infact there's no shortage of info on Jesus in the scripture, It's a matter of believing!!
You would have to read all the scripture and believe in what's given.
God bless.
Be blessed.
Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord Jesus is our strength. Refer Nehemiah 8:10b.
Psalms 2:8, "Ask of Me. and I will give you nations for inheritance, and the ends of the earth for possession"
God loves you!
