KEY IDEA. The husbands first referred to in 1 Peter 3:1 need to be "won" to Christ. Then in verse 7 Peter begins with the Greek word for "Likewise." Their wives needed to be won to Christ as well.

There has been much speculation about the meaning of these verses. Most of it misses the mark. Much of it espouses incorrrect theology. It is time to recognize this is simply the longest passage on unequally yoked spouses in the Epistles.

There were women in ministry who were preferred over men in the Old and New Testaments. Do you know their names? We look into this and more. 

What example does the Bible give us when we ask about women in ministry? Men will look seriously on women in ministry. Women will be encouraged to practice their gifts.

Place quotation marks around verses 34 and 35 in 1 Corinthians 14. This shows that these words came from others, not Paul.

Our Bible translators should have been doing this all along. But those who get Genesis 3:16 wrong miss the meaning in the other key passages on women and men like this one.

Once Genesis 3:16 becomes clear the other passages become clear too.

Paul vigorously responds to those who proposed the ideas quoted in verses 34-35. He labels them as proponents of Jewish legalism that had no place in the church of the risen savior Jesus Christ.

Look for our forthcoming book in The Eden Book Series. It is Book 4 entitled "Because of Eden,"

Women are free to follow Paul's liberating traditions! In 1 Cor 11:10-16 Paul appeals to the church as a whole and to the Greek subgroup of believers. The plain Greek in verse 10 simply says a woman is in charge of her own head. There should be no restrictions placed on women in church or at home.

Does Head mean "boss" here? No. Does Head mean "source" here? I don't see why.

The head-body metaphor points to one-ness. It illustrates unity in Christ. See Ephesians 5:31-32 and our book Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5-6.

Five keys unlock the meaning of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. They help us see clearly that Paul didn't limit women in church in any way.

Here's one of the keys. Place quotation marks around verses 4-6 because these words are not Paul's. He is quoting the contentious ones in the church at Corinth and then goes on to refute their words.

Study The Eden Book Series! Season 9 of The Eden Podcast is built on the Study Guides of our forthcoming book. It is entitled, Because of Eden, 1 Corinthians 11, 14 and 1 Peter 3 by Bruce C. E. Fleming with the subtitle, Quotations Refuted and Witnessing Spouses.

Checking our statistics report - we’ve had listeners download our episodes from more than 100 countries around the world! Thanks to all of you as we focus on the true message of Genesis 3:16, “that God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.”

Listener feedback is important to us and we appreciate every message we receive as well as the comments we see you posting on Social Media.

Here’s a very recent one!

“Bruce C. E. Fleming and his podcast are amazing. I love his work. It was so redemptive for me. I haven’t taken any of his courses yet, but I hope to someday. I’ve listened to nearly every podcast at least once, and have marked up my bibles considerably!”

Wow! Thanks so much. We get feedback like this all the time!

Here’s some very good news. Our online and on demand course called The Eden Course takes you on a trek through the Garden of Eden studying Genesis chapters 2 and 3. There is much you’ll recognize as you make your way through the 8 lessons on these chapters. And there are new insights you’ll be delighted to discover along the way! The Eden Course is available for you to start any time and you can work at your own speed. I’ve put it up at TheEdenCourse.com

And we’ve got an exciting new development to announce. The TruSchool Workshops! The first one is based on The Book of Eden and is called The Eden Workshop. This is a series of 8 great zoom sessions using the Study Guides from The Book of Eden, Genesis 2-3. You can join the next cohort and study with us in eight LIVE Sessions which will also be available via replay video – That’s the 8 Sessions of The Eden Workshop all in just two weeks or in a leisurely pace of just once a week, spread over two months. In the Workshops we review the new lesson and engage in lively discussions. I think you’ll really enjoy them. 

We also offer a second Workshop. It is based on the book Beyond Eden and covers the key verses in Ephesians 5-6.
