The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming

THE MOST MISUSED VERSE ON WOMEN IN MINISTRY is 1 Timothy 2:12. We untagle the meaning in this episode of The Eden Podcast! We ask and answer just WHO were the men and women of 1 Timothy 2:8 and 9-15?? 1 Timothy 3:1 gives the clue! These were the wayward men and women overseers Timothy was left in Ephesus to correct.There is so much error-filled teaching on these verses to be set aside. Here we use the patterns of the passage to unlock the positive meaning of these verses for men and women who aspire to oversight in the church. From Book 3 in The Eden Book Series by Bruce C. E. Fleming.  The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too.

1 Timothy is FOR women in ministry not against them! The author reads and comments on Chapter 1 of Book 3 in The Eden Book Series entitled "Back to Eden, 1 Timothy 2:8-3:16, Corrected and Restored by Jesus the Faithful Word."Did you know? Paul writes about three groups that corresponded to his three sins (blasphemers, persecutors and disrupters). The third group was made up of the wayward men and women overseers Timothy had been assigned to correct.1 Timothy 2:12 is only the second half of the Greek sentence that starts in verses 11. And it is the subordinate part.1 Timothy 3:1 is the center of the jump, jump, high jump pattern that runs from 1:18-3:16. Jesus the faithful logos restores those who aspire to minister once again!   The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E.

EARLY RELEASE! How have we missed what happened in Eden? It happens when we start by wrongly thinking Genesis 3 is about The Fall when it really is about The Attack and The Aftermath! Based on decades of research by Dr. Joy Fleming here is a sample sermon, that can also be used as a lesson plan, on WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IN EDEN BACK IN THE BEGINNING!What you will find here is (1) the distinction between the first-degree and the second-degree eater at the tree, (2) the differences God made in responding to these different levels of offense - including the serpent tempter's first-degree offenses, (3) mistakes made in thinking the woman was the more serious offender, and (4) the God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.  The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C.
