Is This Really The Way God Wants It? The Stepford Wives 2 Not Desperate Housewives Is This Really The Way God Wants It?

The Different Roles Of Men and Women Traditionally Women Have Been The Housekeepers. 1 Tim. 5:14; 2:15 Titus 2:5 God Told Eve That Her Pain In Childbirth Would Increase. Traditionally Men Have Been The Workers. God Told Adam To Cultivate The Garden. God Told Adam He Would Toil and Sweat. Is It A Sin For Women To Work?

Many Are Fighting Their God-given Roles Women Are Forfeiting Marriage For The “Single-Life”. Women Are Forfeiting Having Children For a Career. Yet, After A While, Many Come Back To That Desire To Get Married and Raise Children. The Result = They Try To Do Both.

It Was Not Common For Women to Work in Biblical Times, But It Was Not Impossible Lydia – Acts 16:14,40 Apparently Had Her Own Business and Was Well-to-do. Priscilla – Acts 18:3 She Was a Tent Maker With Her Husband. Deborah Was a Judge and Pheobe Was a Servant (Deaconess) of the Church.

Is It Ideal? Things to Consider Who Will Stay With the Children? Will the Wife Make Enough Income to Justify the Time and Energy Away? Will the Spiritual Well-being of the Wife and/or Family Be Diminished?

The Role of Women There Are Many Things A Woman Can Do, But Too Often We Focus On What She Can’t Do. So What Is Not Included In Her Role? Not To Speak In Worship Service To Usurp Authority

What About The Worship Service? 1 Cor. 14:34-35 Paul Is Speaking Of A Group of Married Women Who Might Have Been Interrupting The Worship Service. Paul Says They Must Keep Silent In Church (Worship Service).

What About The Worship Service? “Silent” - sigao (see-gah'-o) to keep silent Other Passages With This Word: Luke 9:36 Acts 12:17 1 Cor. 14:28, 30

1 Tim. 2:9-15 – Usurping Authority Paul Is Speaking About Women Behaving Correctly. Dressing Appropriately Behaving Appropriately Receive Instruction Quietly With Submissiveness. Not Allowed To Teach Or Exercise Authority Over A Man, But To Remain Quiet.

Why? Adam Was Created First, Not Eve. Eve Was Deceived, Not Adam. Women Will Be Preserved Through Childbearing.

Quietly (Appears Twice) hesuchia (hay-soo-khee'-ah) Stillness KJV - quietness, silence. hesuchios (hay-soo'-khee-os) properly, keeping one's seat (sedentary), i.e. (by implication) still (undisturbed, undisturbing) Used In 1 Pet. 3:4 – “A Quiet and Gentle Spirit.” Used in 1 Tim. 2:2 – “We May Lead a Tranquil and Quiet Life…”

Teach or Exercise Authority “Exercise Authority” (authenteo) “to control in a domineering manner 'I do not allow women ... to dominate men'. 'To control in a domineering manner' is often expressed idiomatically, for example, 'to shout orders at,' 'to act like a chief toward,' or 'to bark at.‘” – Louw and Nida

What Is Paul Saying? Speaks of Assemblies Where Men and Women Are Gathered Together. Speaks of a Woman’s Attitude, Manner, and Behavior. Not Forbidding A Woman From Speaking, But From Speaking In Such A Way She Dominates or Takes The Lead Over The Man.

Women Are A Glory To God Ruth – Was Used To Show The Glory of Love and Loyalty. Rahab – Saved The Spies and Her Family. Esther – Saved A Nation From A Murderous Man. Sarah – Became A Mother of Nations. Mary – Became The Mother of Our Savior. Matthew 1

Trouble In The Garden Gen. 3:16 “Your Desire Shall Be For Your Husband” “He Shall Rule Over You” “Because He Listened To The Voice Of His Wife”
