“Pastors in churches today must recover the understanding that their primary role is to preach the Word of God.” (Volume 172, Number 688, Page 387)
“Husbands were angry during prayer, and wives were acting in a way that communicated a sense of superiority or perhaps violated civil law.” (Volume 172, Number 688, Page 463)
“Because teachings related to Artemis stood in direct opposition to biblical truth, the author of 1 Timothy, likely Paul, had reason to keep Artemis-related teachings in mind when writing to the one charged with counteracting them. Indeed, as the epistle instructed Timothy in his task of correcting false doctrine, it makes sense that the letter would include an Artemis-weighted emphasis.” (Volume 172, Number 688, Page 455)
“Again, in contrast with the Artemis myth, the facts of the Genesis creation story correct false thinking. If Timothy’s charges in Ephesus were unduly influenced by the Artemis cult and its over-exalting of woman, the Genesis story provided needed balance. The female is not superior; Genesis proves it.” (Volume 172, Number 688, Pages 463–464)
“In these Gentiles’ creation narrative, the woman came first, and that gave her preeminence as the first twin.” (Volume 172, Number 688, Page 463)
