The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming

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. He labels them as proponents of Jewish legalism that had no place in the church of the risen savior Jesus Christ.Look for our forthcoming book in The Eden Book Series.

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.

Five keys unlock the meaning of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. They help us see clearly that Paul didn't limit women in church in any way.Here's one of the keys.

He is quoting the contentious ones in the church at Corinth and then goes on to refute their words.Study The Eden Book Series!
