What do you think is meant by this ladies...
1 Timothy 2:14-15
" And Adam was not the one decieved, it was the woman who was decieved and became a sinner.
Nevertheless she will BE SAVED in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness with propriety".
As christians we know we are saved by believing Jesus died for our sins (John 3:16) and it would be wrong to think we are saved any other way. Even BEFORE Jesus (which this verse is written in the New Testament anyhow), it doesn't seem like God would punish those women who couldn't bear children- do you know what I mean?
Or women who because of some mental disorder (like sever depression) or physical impedement SHOULDN'T have children.
BUT...if we have faith in the bible, we to know this verse has to contain truth, even if not fully understood by people like me.
Any ideas on what God is trying to say here y'all??
ps Another thing that shows the verse wasn't intended to be taken literally is that it Timothy was written by Paul, and Paul had a great understanding of Jesus and knew the only way to be saved was through Jesus. He preached this all over the place and brought many to Christ. So how come he wrote this?? Any ideas?
