Who was Timothy correcting? Some men and some women.
Have you noticed Paul's 3 Sins listed in 1 Timothy 1:13? He builds his letter to Timothy on his three sins: 1) as a blasphemer 2) as a persecutor and 3) as an injurious one. Those who overlook this pattern miss Paul's shift in topics. Go deeper? Read my book: Back to Eden, 1 Timothy 1-3 by Bruce C. E. Fleming available from Amazon.

Why so much turning in circles? Why so much confusion and disputing on what Paul wrote to Timothy? I believe it is because people have missed Paul's three-part passage in 1 Timothy 1:18-3:16. THIS IS IMPORTANT. It helps make clear that in 1 Timothy 2:11-12 Paul refers the subgroup of wayward women overseers in Ephesus.
"In every place" in 1 Timothy 2:8 is the start of Section 3 where Paul first refers to the wayward overseers who were disrupting the church. We go deeper on this in our zoom Workshops. We offer Fast Class Workshops in our Tru School. Normally priced at $69 for each Workshop, we offer the first one for the special amount of $3.16!

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?
