1 Timothy 5:14 (KJV)
I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
The above scripture is very controversial as many believe it's speaking to young widows and because of cultural differences there are many who have various understanding of its meaning.
We will begin a new series on A Woman's Place and invite you to participate throughout the series. It's open for both men and women to share their views respectfully.
What is the Apostle Paul saying to you in that verse?
Who was he referring to?
Should this be a principle and applicable to all women? Why or Why not
TODAY'S FOCUS: THE ROLE OF MARRIED WOMEN
Reflecting on this particular verse what are your thoughts on the following:
- Should married couples planned their children?
(Include in your discussion number of children they will have or use contraceptives etc...) Why or Why not?
- What does it mean to guide the house? (Give full details to the extent of house planning, designing, her limits etc...)
Remember, please use scriptural references to your answers, and keep in mind the order of God for the household. Women are to give no occasion to the adversary or any one to speak against them.
God Bless and Keep the Faith!
