God didn't punish or restrict women in Eden or in the Church. But many people think that is just what God did. Before The Eden Podcast was launched, and The Eden Book Series was published, the Reverend Bruce C. E. Fleming, DEA, taught a major series of lessons you can now find on YouTube that are here being made available for you on Season 11 of The Eden Podcast. The so called "clobber passages" are each made clear in this series.

In honor of the 2023 Launch of the Tru316 Foundation, Sheila Wray Gregoire sent this greeting! Thanks Sheila!"Thank you for your hard work and ground-breaking research into the true meaning of a passage that has been weaponized against women for millennia. It is time for freedom -- freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom for real love and intimacy to grow with God and with each other without being hampered by hierarchy and shame. I appreciate your partnership, and I know my listeners at Bare Marriage have found you so encouraging too.

I started from Genesis to understand the egaliltarian / complementarian issues and do my research. The insights of Dr. Joy and Rev. Bruce C. E. Fleming really made a difference.Over in Genesis 3 there was talk about Eve and Adam being cursed but I wanted more research scholars. I came across the work of Dr. Joy Fleming and it really made a big difference in how we interpret the text. It changed how we see the relationship between men and women and much more.Feedback was "Thank you SO much for clearing that up. It's nice to know that we're not cursed and that God is not down on women!"Want to help get the word out to pastors and women and men like Pastor Mike's hearers?

Upon learning the Tru316 insights my response included relief, disbelief and amazement! As a result of what I learned of the Bible from Joy and Bruce I really felt free to use my gifts and desires to the full. (Sadly, up to that point she had been given to believe she couldn't use her gifts because she was a woman.)I feel the Tru316 insights are really, really important for many reasons.

Many people think Eve was struck by God with severe punishments. Dr. Joy Fleming reveals that is not what the 11 Hebrew words say in Genesis 3:16. In her dissertation she points out the good news / bad news pattern present in Gods' words to the woman and man. This reflects the good / bad result from eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Go Deeper?

God noticed parallels in the rebellious acts of the serpent-tempter and the man. Strikingly the text of Genesis 3 is written out in 6 parallel points as God addresses each one of them. The way the passage is written reinforces the meaning of what is told us in these verses.The woman did not share in any of these 6 parallels yet many people lump her in with the other two. This is sloppy exegesis.This section of Dr. Joy Fleming's book, Man and Woman in Biblical Unity, Theology from Genesis 2-3, reveals truths in the text that have been buried by generations of bad theology.

It was all "very good" until the rebellious angel launched his attack at the Tree. Each human responded differently. But the main punishment applied to them both. "In the day you eat from it you will die."Some claim the woman was really The Temptress. They treat pagan ideas like Pandora and the box as the true truth of the Garden of Eden when the opposite is true.Read the important details in Dr. Joy Fleming's book, Man and Woman in Biblical Unity, Theology from Genesis 2-3.Ready to help spread the good news of Eden?

Here is Part 1 of our serialization of Dr. Joy Fleming's book Man and Woman in Biblical Unity, Theology from Genesis 2-3.The human race was and is God's delight. This early part of Genesis tells of two human beings, each specially "handmade" by God. It speaks of how they related to their Creator's care and command. Because two people were created, societal interplay is observed between them. And because they were responsible for their own actions, the Creator deals with each one individually.In Genesis we discover that both persons share equally inthe image of God (Gn. 1:26-27);the charge to be fruitful and multiply (Gn. 1:28);the mandate to rule over the world God created (Gn. 1:26-31);the enjoyment of God's gracious bounty in the Garden (Gn. 2);and even in the name "Adam" (Gn. 5:2).Neither person of either gender has greater intrinsic value than the other. They are partners in the grace of life. The text of Genesis 2 and 3 tells us of the Creator who graciously reaches out to the two sinners, and how the first couple experiences God's love as well as the consequence of sin.Go Deeper?

KEY IDEA. The husbands first referred to in 1 Peter 3:1 need to be "won" to Christ. Then in verse 7 Peter begins with the Greek word for "Likewise." Their wives needed to be won to Christ as well.There has been much speculation about the meaning of these verses. Most of it misses the mark. Much of it espouses incorrrect theology. It is time to recognize this is simply the longest passage on unequally yoked spouses in the Epistles.The book Because of Eden is Book 4 in The Eden Book Series.

Place quotation marks around verses 34 and 35 in 1 Corinthians 14. This shows that these words came from others, not Paul.Our Bible translators should have been doing this all along. But those who get Genesis 3:16 wrong miss the meaning in the other key passages on women and men like this one.Once Genesis 3:16 becomes clear the other passages become clear too.Paul vigorously responds to those who proposed the ideas quoted in verses 34-35.

Women are free to follow Paul's liberating traditions! In 1 Cor 11:10-16 Paul appeals to the church as a whole and to the Greek subgroup of believers. The plain Greek in verse 10 simply says a woman is in charge of her own head. There should be no restrictions placed on women in church or at home.GO DEEPER? Get the volumes in The Eden Book Series.

Pistos ho logos - Jesus the Faithful Word - restores the wayward overseers being corrected in Ephesus by Timothy according to 1 Timothy 3:1. Jesus can do so for wayward servants today. Most people come to this verse looking for Paul to repeat the pun he made in 1 Timothy 1:15. There he first used the words pistos ho logos. First he gave glory to Jesus for being "the Faithful Logos" or Word in his own life. Then he immediately tacked on a saying using two senses of the Greek phrase. But the second and third times he wrote pistos ho logos he only used the first meaning of these words. Jesus could be faithful in restoring to service the overseers being corrected by Timothy (3:1) and Jesus was faithful in empowering Timothy in his own ministry (4:9).Want to go deeper?

Paul and Eve were not first-degree rebels. Each was a second-degree sinner. Eve had to be deceived into eating. Paul acted ignorantly and in unbelief. Each came to understand this and turned to God. God confirmed Eve as Satan's Eden Adversary when he said I will put enmity between you two (Genesis 3:14).God confirmed Paul as an apostle by appointing him to his service (1 Timothy 1:12).With this understanding we can work our way through 1 Timothy 2:13-15 with full understanding.

"Woman" This anarthrous noun can stand for a subgroup of women. These women made up the subgroup of women overseers who had gone astray and were being corrected by Timothy in Ephesus and Paul where he was. Not all the men overseers were being corrected because not all were causing angry disputes in church. Not all the women overseers needed to be retrained. Many were professing the Gospel well.Verse 11 is the main idea of verses 11 and 12. Verse 12 is subordinate to it. Verse 11 is Paul's command not to limit these women further than appropriate but to retrain them for service. He continues these instructions down through 1 Timothy 3 as we will see.Go Deeper?

This passage is not about gentle prayer meetings everywhere. Nor is it about all women everywhere. Here is the key to understanding 1 Timothy 2. Paul is correcting the two groups of overseers who were disrupting the church. Some men who had gone astray (verse 8) and some women who had gone astray (verses 9 and following)In verse 8 Paul focuses on these men who were praying and prophesying incorrectly and were disrupting the church. Then in verses 9-15 he focuses on the women who were doing so.Go DEEPER  The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E.

Are these verses a string of pearls? A series of unrelated thoughts lumped together in Paul's letter to Timothy? Some have said that!These are not unrelated ideas. They follow the outline for Section Two hinted at in Paul's naming of three sins he was guilty of.In 1 Timothy 1:18-3:16 Paul systematically works his way through his three sins. The second was that of being a persecutor. He writes about potentially problematic persecutors in 2:1-7. His solution? Pray for peace and even more so pray for the salvation of potential and actual persecutors that they may be saved.What grace and love is evidenced by Paul. We can do the same. And we can pray as he directed in 2:1.Go Deeper! Order your copy our our book with the Text and Study Guides for all eight chapters!

Let’s focus on 1 Timothy 2:8-3:16 because this is the heart of Paul’s instructions to Timothy on how to correct wayward overseers at Ephesus and even today. Misinterpretation of this passage is the source of much bad teaching and practice regarding women in ministry and in the Christian home.Did Paul teach that women are to be silent in church? Did Paul teach that Adam and all men have priority over Eve and all women? Did Paul teach that only men can be pastors? No, no and no! Not here in 1 Timothy 2:8-3:16 he didn’t!People have gone astray because they have taken smaller pieces of this long passage out of context. This passage that focuses on one thing is made out to be about some other thing. This is a big problem! Can we successfully study verse 2:12 without looking at where it fits in with the larger context? No. How about verse 3:2? No again.In this overview we discover the important parts of 1 Timothy and where the verses fit in to the big picture.Go Deeper!  The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C.

Or she can’t be ‘iron sharpening iron’ with him which the Bible calls us to be. That slowly becomes an entitlement on his part, and I believe what we’re seeing is a lot of men are raised to be entitled and spiritually lazy. … I think that this whole theology [they’re raised on] does men such a disservice. And I’m so glad to see men speaking up about it, because more men need to.”“Bad theology leads to a 7-fold increase in divorce” according to Sheila Gregoire. “The church is teaching us to live in ways that stifle intimacy. Worse still, church leaders are blacklisting her teaching on intimacy in marriage.”Sheila: “Imposing a hierarchy on spouses is not following the Bible’s teaching.

IT'S MUTUAL! This was Paul's BIG IDEA based on the revelation of the Great Mystery in Ephesians 5:32.In Ephesians 5:33-6:9 Paul presents Part 2 of his illustrative passage on How to be filled with the Spirit (5:18).In verses 19a and 21 he explained that believers teach and correct one another through their speaking and their submitting.Then starting with verse 22 all the way through 6:9 he illustrates how this is done.Christ is the supreme example. As Christ LOVED the church and GAVE Himself for the church (5:25b).Similarly, Christian wives and husbands live like Christ (see the link in Greek with the word "fear" in verse 21 and in 33.There is no hierarchy in the Christian couple living this way. And we would see that easily if we were not influenced by the mistranslation and misinterpretation of Genesis 3:16. This is why we need to true the verse in 3:16 because the Hebrew message is clear: God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way (see Tru316.com).GO DEEPER in the book Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5:15-6:9 by Bruce C.

Are these verses teaching us primarily about marriage? Are they not rather teaching us primarily about Christ and the church? Jesus is one with the church in a joint-body. Jesus is the Savior who gave himself for the church. Jesus loves the church with agape love.Examples of Christ's care are brought up by Paul using other word pictures. For example the way wives and husbands care for and love one another. For example the way a person cares for his or her own body.In this passage we learn how Christ cares for and loves the church. And we learn how we are to care for one another in the church.The discussion in this Episode based on the Study Guide questions that go with Chapter 5 in the book Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5:15-6:9.

The meaning of Ephesians 5:22 is discovered in the matrix it is found in. Briefly, Paul turns to the relationship of married Spirit-filled believers to demonstrate how all members of the church build up one another.Christian wives submit to the teaching and admonition they receive from their Spirit-filled husbands. And reciprocally, Christian husbands submit to the teaching and admonition they receive from their Spirit-filled wives.The discussion in this Episode draws from the book Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5:15-6:9.

"Vertical submission" is NOT what Paul teaches in Ephesians 5:19 and following. He replaces that with "horizontal submission." Christ is our model. Sadly, most people have the over/under idea of vertical submission in mind as they read these verses. Paul encourages Christians to teach and admonish one another (verse 5:19a). Then they are to submit to this teaching and correction they are receiving from one another (verse 21).This is a horizontal RECIPROCAL SUBMISSION. This is how Spirit-filled believers build up one another in the body of Christ.GO DEEPER  The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E.

What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18b)? Paul gives a detailed teaching on this which may surprise many people (Ephesians 5:19-21 and following). Christians reciprocally teach and correct one another and then submit themselves to one another's teaching and correction. These are the linked one-another points in Ephesians 5:19a and 21. Additionally, they worship and thank their Lord and God. These points found in verses 19b and 20.This analysis of the text of Ephesians 5:15-21 is presented in the book Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5-6 by Bruce C. E. Fleming, Founder of the Tru316 Project.
