Some commentators DON'T KNOW WHY Paul put these ideas in chapter 2 of 1 Timothy! They haven't seen that Paul is dealing with the second of his own three sins and with those who committed similar sins. This is chapter 3 of the book Back to Eden on 1 Timothy 2-3 by Bruce C. E. Fleming. Learn why Paul writes about persecutors and wants all to come to knowledge of the savior! See how these verses lead up to his command to retrain and restore women overseers to active ministry again.

This section begins with verse 1 and ends with verse 7 of 1 Timothy 2. Go Deeper? Read the book by Bruce C. E. Fleming titled Back to Eden, 1 Timothy 2:8-3:16. You can also enroll in the Back to Eden Workshop offered by the Tru316 Foundation. See Tru316 dot com/workshop

The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?
