The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming

Back to Eden - Eve and Paul 1 Timothy 2:13-15

Episode Summary

Have you ever noticed THIS? Both Eve and Paul were commissioned for ministry by God himself! 1 Timothy 2:13-15 is not negative news for women. It is Paul's explanation to Timothy why he wanted the wayward women overseers in Ephesus retrained and put back into ministry. The Faithful Word - Jesus wanted to do this. So should we today!

Episode Notes

Paul and Eve were not first-degree rebels. Each was a second-degree sinner. Eve had to be deceived into eating. Paul acted ignorantly and in unbelief. Each came to understand this and turned to God. 

1. God confirmed Eve as Satan's Eden Adversary when he said I will put enmity between you two (Genesis 3:14).
2. God confirmed Paul as an apostle by appointing him to his service (1 Timothy 1:12).

With this understanding we can work our way through 1 Timothy 2:13-15 with full understanding.
