Epistles to Timothy
Question 1 of 4
What reason does 1 Timothy ii give for forbidding women to teach or hold authority over men, and how does L. B. C. respond?
A
It cites women's supposed lack of intelligence directly
B
It cites a direct teaching attributed to Jesus on the subject
C
It cites the order of creation ('Adam was first formed, then Eve') and Eve's deception in the Fall; L. B. C. counters this is a weak argument, since animals were formed before Adam too, and notes Calvin's own admission that Adam 'was overcome by the allurements of his wife' rather than independently deceived
D
It cites Roman civil law on gender roles
