The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming

Who was Timothy correcting? Some men and some women.

Episode Summary

Have you noticed Paul's 3 Sins listed in 1 Timothy 1:13? He builds his letter to Timothy on his three sins: 1) as a blasphemer 2) as a persecutor and 3) as an injurious one. Those who overlook this pattern miss Paul's shift in topics. Go deeper? Read my book: Back to Eden, 1 Timothy 1-3 by Bruce C. E. Fleming available from Amazon.

Episode Notes

Why so much turning in circles? Why so much confusion and disputing on what Paul wrote to Timothy? I believe it is because people have missed Paul's three-part passage in 1 Timothy 1:18-3:16. THIS IS IMPORTANT. It helps make clear that in 1 Timothy 2:11-12 Paul refers the subgroup of wayward women overseers in Ephesus.

"In every place" in 1 Timothy 2:8 is the start of Section 3 where Paul first refers to the wayward overseers who were disrupting the church. We go deeper on this in our zoom Workshops.
