She was told she couldn’t explain the Bible and the way of salvation because “she was a woman.” In many other ways she faced hurtful restrictions based on her gender. She studied the Bible and listened to The Eden Podcast from the Tru316 Foundation. Divine Dissident prepared this special greeting for the 3/16 Day 2024 Celebration!

Let's look at the hermeneutical keys that unlock the meaning of the clobber verses in 1 Timothy 2. What they've been telling you - that women are prohibited from teaching men in church - is FAR from the truth!

Author and scholar, Bruce C. E. Fleming walks us through the Introduction and Chapter One of his breakthrough book Back to Eden, 1 Timothy 2-3. NOTE the subtitle: Corrected and Restored by Jesus the faithful Word.

Does the Bible prohibit women from teaching men in church? Bothered by 1 Timothy 2:12? Don't be. It turns out that verse 12 is only the second half of a long sentence that starts with verse 11. And these verses are part of a major command Paul gave to Timothy on how to retrain the subgroup of overseers in Ephesus who had gone astray. 

All this and more is covered in the Back to Eden Workshop on 1 Timothy 2-3! Jean and Mimi are both trainers in our Tru School program and you can go through a 2-week long workshop with them along with author and scholar Rev. Bruce C. E. Fleming.

Sadly, a trauma victim can be re-traumatized by an ill-informed people helper. Twisted beliefs based on twisted understandings of mistranslated key passages on women and men cause great harm.

Back then, my wife Dr. Joy Fleming, and her mother, Grace Elasky, prayed that God would raise up a high school for Christy to attend when she reached 9th grade. Joy then recruited me to see if we could put one together. God wonderfully raised up a founding core group and we worked together to design and launch, just in time, Southwest Christian High School (swchs.org). From our opening class of 30 students the school has grown to 500+ students in what came to be labeled a "Discipleship Christian High School."

And now God is leading us and a new team to grow the Tru316 Foundation to "true" the verse of Genesis 3:16 and related passages on women and men. What a  joy to watch God bless this new institution as it grows in strength and outreach!

It is stunning how slave holders before the American Civil War tried to justify their actions with arguments similar to those used by those who restrict women in the church and the home! Christy is stunned as she and Bruce talk with Rev. Dr. Mike David on this Tru Friend Friday episode of The Eden Podcast!

Here are some of books Mike referred to on this episode.

• The Civil War as a Theological Crisis, by Mark A. Noll
• Slavery, Sabbath, War and Women, by Willard M. Swartley
• Slaves In The New Testament: Literary, Social And Moral Dimensions, by J. Albert Harrill
• Theology and Slavery: Charles Hodge and Horace Bushnell. by Dr. David Torbett
• “Defensing Slavery: Proslavery Thought in the Old South: A Brief History with Documents, by Professor Paul Finkelman
• The Trinity and Subordinationism: The Doctrine of God and the Contemporary Gender-Debates, by Kevin Giles (specifically part 3: The Slavery Tradition  chapters 10-13)
• “The Religious Defense of Slavery before 1830" (online article),  by Larry R. Morrison

The relationship of believers is meant to be modeled after Christ's two actions referred to in Ephesians 5:25b. He loves and gives of himself.

Paul uses these words in the SAME linchpin pattern used in Genesis 2 and 3 in Ephesians 5:25. He had the Garden of Eden very much in mind for he later quotes from Genesis 2:24. What these lookbacks to Eden mean in this passage helps us understand the parts that have puzzled many for so long!

This passage is much like Handel's gloriously complex Hallelujah Chorus. as we study the literary patterns woven together from Ephesians 5:15 all the way to 6:9 we get clarity on Paul's great message of reciprocal care in the body with Christ!

As Debby sought answers to the chaos she was experiencing in her 30 year "Christian" marriage, she became educated on domestic abuse and for the last 3 years has been mentoring women of faith, on Facebook groups and one on one, who are caught in the same confusion she was.

Growing up in institutional care in Illinois she served in the Army in Texas and became a children’s librarian. She was one of the very first students who enrolled in The Eden Workshop on Genesis 2-3! We are pleased to present The Debby Seguin Story on The Eden Podcast!

More about Debby. She met her former husband at a large non-denominational church in San Antonio and raised her 3 children there. Debby divorced in 2020 and she and her 3 adult children now live in North Texas, 2 sons in Fort Worth and a daughter, along with her husband, who are raising 3 children on a ranch near Amarillo.
