What does biblical hospitality look like when your neighbors are LGBTQ?

That's just one of the questions we'll be answering on today's edition of Core Christianity.

Hi, this is Bill Meyer, along with Pastor Adriel Sanchez, and this is the radio program where we answer your questions about the Bible and the Christian life every day.

Here's our phone number. It's 833-3-3-4-3-2673. You can also post your question on one of our social media sites, and of course you can always email us your question at questions at core Christianity.com. First up today, let's go to Rich calling in from Pennsylvania.

Rich, what's your question for, Adriel?

Hello, Adriel. How are you doing? I'm doing well. How are you, Rich?

Oh, pretty good. For a while now, I've been concerned about the decline in our society and all that,

but in 1 Timothy 2.11, where he talks about, I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority

over a man, she must be silent. How should I look at that in today's

society? I feel the uprising of women's live and all that in the 50s and 60s is just a decline

of our society. How should I view that? And the thing is the same yesterday, today, today, and

forever.

Where in the Bible did that law ever change?

And we're supposed to listen to the Word of God and trust it.

I don't see that being upheld.

Yeah.

Well, Rich, thank you for your call and for that question.

And so you're absolutely right. I mean, we want to go by the book, by God's word. So the question is, what is God's word teaching there in 1st Timothy

chapter 2, verse 11, where Paul says, let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not

permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man. Rather, she is to remain quiet.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve, and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor and so forth.

I think specifically what the Apostle Paul is talking about there is not just, you know, like women aren't allowed to teach period or have any authority period.
