What does 1 Timothy 2:12 mean? "I do not permit a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man.."

This is part 2 of a series of episodes answering the question: can women be pastors? In this episode, Pastor David and Nathan along with special guest, Jessica Horner, look at 1 Timothy 2, focusing especially on verses 11:-15: "11 Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve; 14 and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor. 15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control." (English Standard Version (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Bibles, 2016)).

What does this mean? Can women be pastors/elders in the church? Can they teach in any capacity? Was this passage only relevant to a specific audience in a specific time period? Have complementarians failed to consider the historical context surrounding this passage? How does the book of Genesis inform our understanding? What does it mean that "she will be saved through childbearing"?

We discuss all of these questions and more on this episode of Without Doubt.

What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit?

February 23, 2024 • David Horner, Nathan Crowe • Mark 3:22–29, Matthew 12:22–32, Luke 12:10

In Mark 3:29 Jesus said, “...whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin." What is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? Is there really a sin that God will never forgive? Can a non-believer who commits this sin later repent and be forgiven? In this episode, Pastor David and Nathan take a look at these challenging words of Jesus to find out what they mean for our lives.

If the world will get worse in the end times, is there any hope for the gospel?

February 16, 2024 • David Horner, Nathan Crowe • 2 Thessalonians 2:1–4, Matthew 24, Revelation 21

The Bible clearly teaches that as we draw closer to the return of Jesus Christ, the world will continue to get worse. So what hope do we have for the effectiveness of the gospel? If the gospel is going out, why won't the world be getting better? It is easy to become dejected, hopeless, and even scared when thinking about the end times. But the Bible tells us that we don't have to be, and gives us hope.
