Gender is not a social construct.  It is part of God's good, original design.

Three Concepts

Quiet

"Its the kind of quietness that respects and honors the leadership of the men God has called to oversee the church." (John Piper)

Teaching

The kind of teaching of men that women are biblically prohibited from is a teaching that is tied to authority.

Authority

What is out of bounds is a woman functioning in a church-recognized authoritative teaching role over men.

Two Reasons

The reasons for women not teaching or having authority over men are based on God's original design and how rejecting God's design led to disaster.

Created Order

God's good design for gender - with men leading and women supporting - remains in effect for God's people.

Deception at the Fall

"...the point is that when God's order of leadership is repudiated, it brings damage and ruin." (John Piper)
