Bringing Relationships To Life

I have been on the side that said a woman cannot have authority in the church for a long time. I went along with the complimentarian view without truly looking at the scriptures carefully. I have struggled with this for a long time. Now, I believe that a woman can teach. The litmus test for saying that women couldn't was found in 1 Timothy 2:11-15. When the story is fully assembled, it tells a different story than what it appears to say on the surface. You may not agree. I may be called a liberal even though I strive to give the most accurate understanding of what the Bible says. Regardless, this is my stance.
