@chetsenior7253 'slave' in the Bible is synonymous with servant and worker. it did not have the connotations it entails today. in fact there were many progressive Christian laws protecting the rights of servants/slaves including if a master abused a slave whatsoever that slave was free to go and was immediately promised new employment opportunities while the master was faced with charges. which is a revolutionary concept when comparing it to pre-civil war slavery where servants and masters did not even share the privilege of human rights
If that was your takeaway then you missed 5:14 where the narrative assumes the church leadership position known as the diaconate are “men and women”, which is in contrast to the text in chapter 3 which describes deacons as husbands with wives, in other words, only men.
As a fellow Bible teacher, the Bible Project's work was my inspiration for asking God to use me for ministry. I remember telling God in my kitchen, "I can't do graphic design and I'm not an artist, so I have nothing to offer them, but give me the opportunity to share the gospel effectively like they do." I appreciate all the work you put in to producing these videos. Thank you!
@@creatortoon4665Bible projects twists scripture. You could do better simply by being truthful. Specifically in the video they mislead the viewer by saying Deacons can be men or women. Scripture clearly says Deacons must have wives, which means men only.
I love the three different perspectives of women teaching in church🙏 Very tasteful and not degrading and explains that sound doctrine is needed to be taught in order to be a teacher. This applies to both men and women. Bravo 👏
Recently i am facing huge problem with this men and women thing. I believe if women is educated and knows the doctrine she can preach and same goes with men also. Why in earth people say women should be quiet and submissive in different way. Women can not teach and exercise any spiritual thing? I believe this does not apply to anyone. Historical background also we need to check.
These videos definitely help me, I have ADD and a learning disability so I have a really hard time reading the bible and actually being able to understand what it's saying so it's nice that you make these videos. :)
Be very careful of who u trust. The ppl who make these videos have a warped view of the Bible. You must read your Bible. Don’t just rely on other ppl to tell u what’s in the Bible. There are plenty of Audie bibles u can listen to . My hubby has terrible adhd. If he can listen then so can u
@@chrissonofpear1384 God is not only able to keep His Word, He HAS kept His Word. If you make excuses for why it is not relevant to you, you will be the loser in the end. Why not simply ask God to help you understand what He did and how He did it? Ask Him to make it real to your heart. If He is not able to do so, what is it that you believe? God is not what we make Him out to be, nor does He fit into a neat doctrinal box, He is REAL, and He is able to transform your life if you will trust Him. Your question is like protesting any subject, as though you were in a classroom making excuses about why science or math is irrelevant and so we shouldn't have to study it. That would in no way change the curriculum or lessen your need to pass the class in order to graduate! Your protestations reveal that you have no idea about what you believe because the entire New Testament message of salvation is drawn from the Old Testament Scriptures. After His resurrection, the Lord met with His disciples "And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures…", (Luke 24:44-45). We need God's help to understand. Ask Him!
Thank you for the video. I listen to it before I begin reading each book of the Bible. I love to read the Bible & make notes but then listening to a good overview is so very helpful. Having passed the 70 year old mark, it really helps. 😁God Bless you for these overviews.
As a theology student graduate, I love what you're doing. May I suggest though that you be careful when you say things like "if Christians become associated with slave rebellions they are compromised" because if the Christian man MLK Jr. didn't rebel against slavery and inequality we would not be living in a free America. Slavery still exists today with human trafficking and I believe Christians should in fact be associated with a rebellion against this evil where women, children, and men are sold for sex and abuse. I think there's just a little more nuance here that what you said above where I quoted you might not allow room for. I just wanted to point that out, but please keep doing what you're doing because these videos are a help to me and my ministry!
Razvan Stoian I agree with you in that the people should be careful in how they word this interpretation. However, there are some things you need to remember too. 1. MLK did not rebel against slavery itself because it had been outlawed for nearly 100 years. a better example would be Nat Turner, although many were horrified by his actions too, as video said may happen. Also, MLK used peaceful and Christian values to achieve his goals and condemned militant actions like those of Malcolm X. Civil Disobedience is different than a full rebellion which usually involves much bloodshed. 2. Our country is based on different values and thoughts than those of the Romans with a heavy Christian influence on the leaders and people of the land, unlike the Romans who were pegan. Early Christians were still against Roman values of slavery and their world view, but they had to be more tactful in order to change it. 3. Christians must be tolerant of dominating belief systems. Tolerant does not mean to accept. by no means should we simply allow sex trafficking to continue. Tolerant means to be patient. Tolerant means to accept that people have a different view and that it takes time to convince them that Christ is the only way. Paul's ministries were not 1 hour sermons to random Greeks and Romans. He would debate them and argue with them for days, weeks and stay in one place for even years ministering to whoever would listen and engage him. Resistance is important. The day the Bible becomes outlawed is the day I become a criminal. I think the video could have handle that a bit better but your argument against it had some flaws.

Sir I've been following their videos alot and really liked their teachings but that statement as a black African man who has a long history of slavary and us being persecuted for quite some time until the 21 century ,I'm really disturbed. I'd really want them to re-introspect and evauluate that statement simply because I still feel like it what lead to white supremacy using the bible against us Africans as slave and I myself being a african christian I just find it very offensive I'm really disturbing. I'm starting to question alot pertaining christainity to Africans.
As soon as he said that part I was thinking the exact same thing. He didn't quite fully explain that part. It's interpretation like this that makes "believers" think slavery was ok. Really they were indentured servants
Thank you for helping bring clarity to the talk about women in the church. It has been something that I have been trying to interpret for some time. I think this helps us see one how truly church is supposed to operate, but also how we are to operate as believers in Christ. This channel is my go to before and after every book I read. Such an amazing thing you are doing!
@@digdag1000 - most people use acts 20:7. mostly saying that it was when Christians took communion together not necessarily that they had to worship on sunday. it seems more likely that groups of christians met daily to worship based on acts
And why is that? Because Eve made a mistake? How did she pass it on, if both men and women were equally corrupted by the fruit? Also, why can't they preach about SOME topics and not others? Spread the load?
Wow!! God is faithful in his promises! Jeremiah 29:12 'Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me and I will listen to you and you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart'. Seeking God and his Word, meditating on his Word, led me to your channel!!! thank you and God bless you!💖
Also good if you are leading a bible study where you need to do a recap/overview (in case someone missed the prior lessons) before the lesson gets started
Your interpretation on the verse about women speaking in the church is a very good one. I see the parallel between the women being deceived by the men and eve being deceived by the serpent. Thanks!
@@josie5165 Why would it rub you the wrong way though? If in heaven it turns out that it was in fact meant that until Jesus returns and we are all immortal, women were not meant to be teachers or leaders of men in the church. Would you be mad at God or think of Him differently
@@jbcfamily4802 well it would rub me the wrong way because all throughout the Bible God lifts up women, if He didn’t want us to lead it would quite literally contradict the scriptures. For one in Genesis men ruling over women was part of the curse as in what God didn’t want for them. Two women lead in the old and New Testament. Having a women be judge and led an army, (Deborah), Esther was put in a position of power to save her people, one was a prophetess (Abigail), Miriam led others in Moses’s time, and one woman even build a city (Sheerah). In the New Testament He lets women be the first evangelists to witness Jesus’s empty tomb, There’s Phoebe the deacon who is mentioned to play a crucial role in church and so much more. God is a God of reason and order, I don’t believe he’d decide that both genders who represent who God is when put together would favor one gender over the other. Just because one has a different types of chromosomes doesn’t and shouldn’t affect their ability to reason, lead, and teach. Back then most women couldn’t even read, they weren’t allowed, so of course them teaching from scripture they couldn’t read would be an awful idea. Not to mention most women weren’t allowed to go to school and learn about the Torah so they could be easily swayed by false teachings. But things have changed as women can be educated in such things and help others. Jesus Himself planted seeds for us to grow as people and not to discriminate based on gender. Many women have the gift of leading and to deny them that would rob the church of a very valuable asset.
@@josie5165 All good points. I have 2 replys. You said "favor" one gender. There is no favor to be a teacher and not. (That interpretation of favor would hinge on if the women desired to be a teacher). Its following the reasoning from Paul. That leads me to reply 2. What do you make of the reasoning Paul gives for not allowing women to teach men or have portions of authority over in the church. He says because Adam was creates first them Eve. And Eve sinned first not Adam?
@@jbcfamily4802 Again I think Paul’s reasoning was that women weren’t very educated and never learned about the Torah so, again it would be a bad idea at that time. But I do believe Paul uses the Genesis story as a metaphor as since Eve was created next she didn’t know too much about the world just as women wouldn’t know too much about the Torah, but they were very capable of learning. Another thing was that these were letters to a specific church, a church that had no clue what to do, we never hear the other side of this conversation. It could’ve been a specific issue regarding that church. I feel that out of context it implies no teaching from perfectly capable, biblically educated women. But in context it helps shuffle some old issues out.
I really appreciate your excellent work. It is very refreshing to read the Word of Yahuah but even more so when you can understand the context of the times and the delivery of the prophets and messengers at the time. Bible Project has helped me immensely so when I delve into the text it is a smoother understanding. May your ministry receive seven fold blessing in Yeshua's precious and mighty name
These videos are so helpful for understanding the broader message of a book before starting my study on it. Thank you for them and thank you for giving the different views on areas where people have different interpretations.
I want to THANK YOU for all of the series, simplifying and spreading the Gospels (Word of God) and for all the hard work and dedication I know it must have taken. Thank you.. thank you...thank you :) God Bless
You are such blessing to my life. The end time church does not have meat and sound doctrine for us, you explain the word of our beloved God and Saviour with love and light in it. I love it love it ! Thanks for your hard work and loving others this way!
This has been helping me a lot. The illustrations keep me gravitated and the teachings are so clear and understanding. I pray for knowledge and understanding all of the time along with wisdom and this is helping me to grow in my word. I love this. I'm so appreciative. Thank you so much. Maybe the LORD bless you abundantly.
this is awesome props to the people in charge of these videos it gives an outline to those who are not only new converts or just discovering Christianity for the first time but to those who are Christians that has problems understanding clearly the scriptures can see this video Visually the outline of what the scriptures are saying to help educate with clear mind and understanding so that once reading it can picture it in there minds to help understand awesome indeed God Bless
How you guys give these summaries and insights are truly amazing and sent from the LORD! Amazing way of explaining this! The Lord has given me the understanding of being “well-rounded or balanced”... (these are usually my go-to terms) when explaining that the Bible doesn’t contradict itself, rather, there are multiple audiences being addressed! Our job is to straighten up ourselves first, then examine our brothers! (In love of course)!!! God bless you abundantly!
I listen to Bible project before reading. It gives me a clear idea of what I am getting into and makes it interesting. Thank God for good teachers !! I hope no one takes these videos down.
You guys are GREAT! I am a minister and I've shared your Bible Project videos with my minister friends. They share your videos with their congregations. Great job, Gentlemen, keep up the great work you're doing.
Thanks a lot for this Video , very practical and helpful !!! May God bless you and your team to make videos for the growth of the body of Christ ( The church ). thanks again
Awesome brother. With the pictorial explanation you made it very simple and easy to understand the importance of 1 Timothy.Praise the Lord. May God bless all your efforts.
I am new here but I am fully amazed by how in simplistic graphic illustrations each book message is clearly explained. Thank you and God bless your progress.
My brother was proud to be an usher for the evening service when he was 16 - I was proud as were our parents. After a few months, the "church" decided only old deacons can be ushers - he was out and at least one old guy who fell asleep during the service took his place. When he was on his own, my brother stopped going altogether.
Can you do a video on Women's roles in the church. I've done a lot of research on it but it still leaves me asking questions some times. in this video you guys didn't really take a stance on it but rather pointed out the different interpretations to choose from with no references to other parts of the bible so we could make an informed choice. I know these videos are supplements and not replacements for reading the bible, but at least a clear way of finding an answer would be nice rather than offering other's interpretations and saying "Here, choose the one you like"
Michael Acuna They don’t directly say it but they further explore the third interpretation and actually mention Paul’s praise of women ministers in other parts of the Bible. Also it is important to understand that in so many other when God calls us to act or lead it isn’t just for one gender. He says almost always says his people.
Because you are going wrong about it. You want THEM to provide you an answer so you can still in the end decide what your stance is. The Bible is also clear about personal convictions. If you are still confused by the passage, most probably there is a part of you that needs to submit to Gods Word or you just accept that you don’t agree with it but don’t make the Word say something it’s not saying which is exactly what Paul was preaching against. This chapter speaks clearly about the importance of women to submit to godly men and that what will preserve them from deception and the usually tricks of the devil against women, it’s to diligently perform her role as a wife and mother in the household. The fulfillment of godly women is not found in pursuing careers or men’s roles in the church but in taking care of her home. And yes many women want to disagree with it and twist the Word to conform with the world, but that is what God says and his word is yes and amen and the bible transcends generations. You want a clear understanding, pray and continue to meditate the passage and trust that the Holy Spirit can reveal to your spirit the meaning of the verse so it becomes rhema to you and you understand the practical way to live a godly life according to what Paul was instructing Timothy to tell the church here. That’s better than shopping for the best suitable answer mostly from others who might have taken the time to pray and meditate on it.
@@sossoft I knew that was coming. I love to watch women taking place -leadearship- in the church and teaching in a biblical way. That's my point of view, and I see nothing wrong in that. Whatever you reply, I got one answer: got nothing but love to you
@@marclhernandez I don't believe there's anything wrong as well with women teaching or anyone, With education of course. I had a problem with this as well and came to conclusion in Romans and Corinthians where it talks about the gifts of the Spirit which states clearly that is for ALL to receive. Therefore, women can be called by God to be teachers just as much as men can.
The Apostle Paul was clear about women being allowed to teach other women (Titus 2:4) and likely also children. It's most likely that, when Paul was referring to prominent women, they were women who excelled in this role and/or were women who were wives of prominent men who supported their prominent husbands in their roles under their authority (e.g. Acquila and Priscilla). Paul does not allow women to teach or have authority over men. This does not mean that men would not respect what women say when it is aligned with the truth of God's Word but that they are not to teach or have authority over men in an official capacity, especially as bishops, elders, and pastors which are designated by the Spirit as official positions of authority in the church. Some interpret Paul's teaching to be referring to wives not teaching or having authority over their husbands as the words "men" and "women" can be translated "husbands" and "wives" but the effect would still be mostly the same - if a wife is subject to her husband, how can she have authority over the church? The husband would, in reality, be in charge. One cannot separate the spheres of home life and church life - they are one and the same. A wife cannot submit to her husband at home but then have authority over him at church. There is not a magic line separating home and church where the roles are reversed. However, all leadership roles outside of the church are open to women and there is no biblical reason why women should not be able to pursue their dream jobs and positions in non-church jobs as long as they are not neglecting their husbands and families (which also goes for the husbands). There is no reason women cannot live fulfilling and challenging lives pursuing their gifts and talents in their careers, or teaching other women and children in the church. The only thing that they are forbidden from doing is taking up roles where they exercise authority over or teach adult men.
These videos are so helpful in helping others understand and being truthful and easy to understand. Thank you and bless this channel! This channel is what helps me through reading each book of the bible and learn more!
Justin, I lost my dad and granddad years due to pancreatic cancer as well. I know you were hurt by your dad’s reaction to your wife. But Justin, if you don’t spend time with your dad while he’s still here, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Please go see him, even if it’s hard. Even if it’s hard to see him sick. Even if it’s hard to say goodbye without all the answers. Everything your wife is saying is right. I went through this with my dad. My dad hurt me in different ways. And I was so angry and bitter for many years.
I imagine this would've been a difficult one to communicate succinctly, especially regarding the different views on what Paul says on women teaching. Well done!
I'm learning so much about the Bible and about Jesus, thank you so much! This in no way should replace daily scripture reading but it does help so much to break down everything you read and summarize it.
i dont want this to be misconstrued as a negative. i love these videos and i think that theyre an awesome bible study tool. i do have a question about the deacon part. i know that the word just means servant, but when its used here it mentions "their wives". i was wondering how you came to the conclusion that it was meant to be a group of men and women like the video said.
In my religion as one of JW’s, the name used is “Ministerial Servant” instead of a Deacon. They serve as assistants to the body of elders in the congregation. They must meet Bible standards to qualify as outlined in 1 Timothy 3:8-10,12.
Thank you for sharing this great resource! This type of overview is so helpful for seeing the big picture and Paul’s holistic vision for Ephesus (and the church in general!)
I am so glad I came across your channel! I was searching for exactly this kind of explanation after questioning some things I’ve heard recently. I have a question: where do you get the detail from? I’ve read the New Testament over and over for years and have never found the detail you provide here. Thank you so much for this! I appreciate you! 🙏🏼
Same here, I have grown up in the Church my entire life and have somewhat read these books in the past and have heard biblical stories before but it hasn't really clicked to me this deeply until recently. It takes a lot of practice and re-reading scripture and in some cases understanding the background context of where the author is when writing or historical context. Often reading passages with similar themes will help you understand what the author is talking about in his writings. It also helps after reading a chapter to use a trustworthy resource to learn different viewpoints on what specific scriptures may be referring to and compare it to your own viewpoint. This is a very basic description of how this process can work and there's probably plenty more I haven't mentioned but I hope this helps either way.
The overview of the Book is good, I love the format and it is good to present the summary. This one emphasizes some good points, but all such teaching should only be a starting place for personal study, so that we are not following any person, but the Lord alone as we are led by the Holy Spirit. The Christianity is not just a set of tenets, or a creed, or a way of behaving in the world. It is rather a personal and dynamic relationship with the Lord by the Holy Spirit, Who will apply His Word in a very specific way to the individual. Romans 8:14, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God". He will glorify God along the lines of the Book in you! It will not only be an impersonal understanding, but a profound inward transformation by the power of God dwelling in you, which is the mystery of godliness spoken of in 1 Tim 3:16. This mystery is also defined in Col 1:26-27, " Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory...". We are not to try and do the work of the Spirit in our own power. If that were the case we would not have needed the Lord's sacrifice. The Law for behavior would have been enough. He made a way for us to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit...to be yoked together with Him, and He said He would lead us and guide us into all truth. Praise God for the exposition of His Word, and for the encouragement it provides for us to dig deeper into the Scriptures.
It never ceases to amaze me how the perfect, unambiguous word of the creator of our universe - god, has to be explained to us because there are so many interpretations of said, perfect and unambiguous word of god. 😂
"Scripture does not give much support to the idea of women serving as deacons, but it does not necessarily disqualify them, either." This article is a good read: gotquestions.org/women-deacons.html
Completely brilliant again - this will be used at the start of our new sermon series on 1 Timothy - thank you all so much for your dedication to make the Bible accessible in these short video - blessings!
"As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. " (2 Peter, 3:16, KJV) You sure Peter was talking about Paul being hard to understand and not the _things_ that Paul was writing about being hard to understand? I don't want to write anything about my assumptions on what The Bible Project team believes but be very cautious about what you preach since you can mislead others. Aspecially since in the next verse Peter wrote: "Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness." I don't want to sow discord but also feel that TBP crew sometimes goes a bit too far in the editing (interpretation) of the Scripture. Thus may God bless you and lead you in your works for His glory.
I agree with you as to interpretation of scripture. But, it cannot be denied that much hard work is put in and for the many, it would be a good starting point for study of scriptures. As far as interpretation is concerned, whoever relies on the Interpreter, the Holy Spirit, he cannot be misled. And then, we have our Berean brethren, for our example. Praise the Lord!

@@chrissonofpear1384 God is not only able to keep His Word, He HAS kept His Word. If you make excuses for why it is not relevant to you, you will be the loser in the end. Why not simply ask God to help you understand what He did and how He did it? Ask Him to make it real to your heart. If He is not able to do so, what is it that you believe? God is not what we make Him out to be, nor does He fit into a neat doctrinal box, He is REAL, and He is able to transform your life if you will trust Him. Your question is like protesting any subject, as though you were in a classroom making excuses about why science or math is irrelevant and so we shouldn't have to study it. That would in no way change the curriculum or lessen your need to pass the class in order to graduate! Your protestations reveal that you have no idea about what you believe because the entire New Testament message of salvation is drawn from the Old Testament Scriptures. After His resurrection, the Lord met with His disciples "And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures…", (Luke 24:44-45). We need God's help to understand. Ask Him!
I am in awe of how much Biblical knowledge is presented in a less than 10min video. Amazing. Thank you for making the Word and Jesus known!!!!
When genuine Christian teaching is done, it’s faithful to the way of Jesus and it results in love and genuine faith! Love this
Thank you for the video. I listen to it before I begin reading each book of the Bible. I love to read the Bible & make notes but then listening to a good overview is so very helpful. Having passed the 70 year old mark, it really helps. 😁God Bless you for these overviews.
As a theology student graduate, I love what you're doing. May I suggest though that you be careful when you say things like "if Christians become associated with slave rebellions they are compromised" because if the Christian man MLK Jr. didn't rebel against slavery and inequality we would not be living in a free America. Slavery still exists today with human trafficking and I believe Christians should in fact be associated with a rebellion against this evil where women, children, and men are sold for sex and abuse. I think there's just a little more nuance here that what you said above where I quoted you might not allow room for. I just wanted to point that out, but please keep doing what you're doing because these videos are a help to me and my ministry!
Razvan Stoian I agree with you in that the people should be careful in how they word this interpretation. However, there are some things you need to remember too.
1. MLK did not rebel against slavery itself because it had been outlawed for nearly 100 years. a better example would be Nat Turner, although many were horrified by his actions too, as video said may happen. Also, MLK used peaceful and Christian values to achieve his goals and condemned militant actions like those of Malcolm X. Civil Disobedience is different than a full rebellion which usually involves much bloodshed.
2. Our country is based on different values and thoughts than those of the Romans with a heavy Christian influence on the leaders and people of the land, unlike the Romans who were pegan. Early Christians were still against Roman values of slavery and their world view, but they had to be more tactful in order to change it.
3. Christians must be tolerant of dominating belief systems. Tolerant does not mean to accept. by no means should we simply allow sex trafficking to continue. Tolerant means to be patient. Tolerant means to accept that people have a different view and that it takes time to convince them that Christ is the only way. Paul's ministries were not 1 hour sermons to random Greeks and Romans. He would debate them and argue with them for days, weeks and stay in one place for even years ministering to whoever would listen and engage him.
Resistance is important. The day the Bible becomes outlawed is the day I become a criminal. I think the video could have handle that a bit better but your argument against it had some flaws.

Razvan Stoian MLK Jr was not a Christian. He believed heretical teachings such as Jesus wasn’t God & the virgin birth wasn’t real
Sir I've been following their videos alot and really liked their teachings but that statement as a black African man who has a long history of slavary and us being persecuted for quite some time until the 21 century ,I'm really disturbed. I'd really want them to re-introspect and evauluate that statement simply because I still feel like it what lead to white supremacy using the bible against us Africans as slave and I myself being a african christian I just find it very offensive I'm really disturbing. I'm starting to question alot pertaining christainity to Africans.
As soon as he said that part I was thinking the exact same thing. He didn't quite fully explain that part. It's interpretation like this that makes "believers" think slavery was ok. Really they were indentured servants
Thank you for your hard work...I got inspired to read more into scripture because of the videos!
Thank God! :D
I like to watch these now before starting a new book of the Bible in my study time. It's helpful, thank you!
Same
I look at these after I read a book
Amazing series. I could watch these videos a million times and still learn something new.
Thank you for helping bring clarity to the talk about women in the church. It has been something that I have been trying to interpret for some time. I think this helps us see one how truly church is supposed to operate, but also how we are to operate as believers in Christ. This channel is my go to before and after every book I read. Such an amazing thing you are doing!

sunday worship? Is that there? Sorry could you please direct me to where that is written?
@@digdag1000 - most people use acts 20:7. mostly saying that it was when Christians took communion together not necessarily that they had to worship on sunday. it seems more likely that groups of christians met daily to worship based on acts
Ah, WHY are women so vehemently told not to be preachers? Even of selected verses and parables?
And why is that? Because Eve made a mistake? How did she pass it on, if both men and women were equally corrupted by the fruit?
Also, why can't they preach about SOME topics and not others? Spread the load?
I love this series! keep up the good work and god bless you :)
Amen And God Bless You And Anyone That Reads This ❤
I truly like how they break down the Bible verses so that you can understand it.
I am doing a bible study on this book and was really confused by 1st Timothy 2 11-15. This really helped me understand. Thank you!
I'm still confused! Idk whether option 1 2 of 3 is right
@@gnarly_charley option 2
thankyou Jesus fot the bible project! hope in a broken world...
Wow!! God is faithful in his promises! Jeremiah 29:12 'Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me and I will listen to you and you will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart'. Seeking God and his Word, meditating on his Word, led me to your channel!!! thank you and God bless you!💖
Every time I get stuck reading the Bible I come hear to understand it
Same after every ready I check
It's definitely a good place to start
Also good if you are leading a bible study where you need to do a recap/overview (in case someone missed the prior lessons) before the lesson gets started
Your interpretation on the verse about women speaking in the church is a very good one. I see the parallel between the women being deceived by the men and eve being deceived by the serpent. Thanks!
Same! That verse always rubbed me the wrong way as I know women pastors who are great at what they do
@@josie5165
Why would it rub you the wrong way though?
If in heaven it turns out that it was in fact meant that until Jesus returns and we are all immortal, women were not meant to be teachers or leaders of men in the church. Would you be mad at God or think of Him differently
@@jbcfamily4802 well it would rub me the wrong way because all throughout the Bible God lifts up women, if He didn’t want us to lead it would quite literally contradict the scriptures. For one in Genesis men ruling over women was part of the curse as in what God didn’t want for them. Two women lead in the old and New Testament. Having a women be judge and led an army, (Deborah), Esther was put in a position of power to save her people, one was a prophetess (Abigail), Miriam led others in Moses’s time, and one woman even build a city (Sheerah). In the New Testament He lets women be the first evangelists to witness Jesus’s empty tomb, There’s Phoebe the deacon who is mentioned to play a crucial role in church and so much more. God is a God of reason and order, I don’t believe he’d decide that both genders who represent who God is when put together would favor one gender over the other. Just because one has a different types of chromosomes doesn’t and shouldn’t affect their ability to reason, lead, and teach. Back then most women couldn’t even read, they weren’t allowed, so of course them teaching from scripture they couldn’t read would be an awful idea. Not to mention most women weren’t allowed to go to school and learn about the Torah so they could be easily swayed by false teachings. But things have changed as women can be educated in such things and help others. Jesus Himself planted seeds for us to grow as people and not to discriminate based on gender. Many women have the gift of leading and to deny them that would rob the church of a very valuable asset.
@@josie5165
All good points.
I have 2 replys.
You said "favor" one gender. There is no favor to be a teacher and not. (That interpretation of favor would hinge on if the women desired to be a teacher). Its following the reasoning from Paul.
That leads me to reply 2. What do you make of the reasoning Paul gives for not allowing women to teach men or have portions of authority over in the church. He says because Adam was creates first them Eve. And Eve sinned first not Adam?
@@jbcfamily4802 Again I think Paul’s reasoning was that women weren’t very educated and never learned about the Torah so, again it would be a bad idea at that time. But I do believe Paul uses the Genesis story as a metaphor as since Eve was created next she didn’t know too much about the world just as women wouldn’t know too much about the Torah, but they were very capable of learning. Another thing was that these were letters to a specific church, a church that had no clue what to do, we never hear the other side of this conversation. It could’ve been a specific issue regarding that church. I feel that out of context it implies no teaching from perfectly capable, biblically educated women. But in context it helps shuffle some old issues out.
I really appreciate your excellent work. It is very refreshing to read the Word of Yahuah but even more so when you can understand the context of the times and the delivery of the prophets and messengers at the time. Bible Project has helped me immensely so when I delve into the text it is a smoother understanding. May your ministry receive seven fold blessing in Yeshua's precious and mighty name
These videos are so helpful for understanding the broader message of a book before starting my study on it. Thank you for them and thank you for giving the different views on areas where people have different interpretations.
I want to THANK YOU for all of the series, simplifying and spreading the Gospels (Word of God) and for all the hard work and dedication I know it must have taken.
Thank you.. thank you...thank you :) God Bless
You are such blessing to my life. The end time church does not have meat and sound doctrine for us, you explain the word of our beloved God and Saviour with love and light in it. I love it love it ! Thanks for your hard work and loving others this way!
Just read 1Timothy and thanks to your video I was able to catch parts of the mesage that I missed! Thanks TBP!! God bless
For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
Thank you Jesus!
These videos are a great help with assisting me with my bible study 📚
Thank you! 🙏🏾
Thank you Bible Project for giving us a summary of every N.T. Letters. God bless you and your ministry.
This has been helping me a lot. The illustrations keep me gravitated and the teachings are so clear and understanding. I pray for knowledge and understanding all of the time along with wisdom and this is helping me to grow in my word. I love this. I'm so appreciative. Thank you so much. Maybe the LORD bless you abundantly.
God bless you all. I watch the video first and then start reading, it helps me in understanding Jesus's word in a better way.
Thank you
Me too!
Paul's first letter to Timothy, Paul spent many years traveling about and starting new churches. He developed a large team of workers
this is awesome props to the people in charge of these videos it gives an outline to those who are not only new converts or just discovering Christianity for the first time but to those who are Christians that has problems understanding clearly the scriptures can see this video Visually the outline of what the scriptures are saying to help educate with clear mind and understanding so that once reading it can picture it in there minds to help understand awesome indeed God Bless
This is Great.... Awesome.... Thank You Bible Project Team for helping me understanding the word of God.... 👍🏻🙏🏻😇
May God use you all more.... Amen🙏🏻
You have been our blessings till now! May God bless this ministry abundantly! Thank you so much!
How you guys give these summaries and insights are truly amazing and sent from the LORD! Amazing way of explaining this! The Lord has given me the understanding of being “well-rounded or balanced”... (these are usually my go-to terms) when explaining that the Bible doesn’t contradict itself, rather, there are multiple audiences being addressed! Our job is to straighten up ourselves first, then examine our brothers! (In love of course)!!! God bless you abundantly!
I listen to Bible project before reading. It gives me a clear idea of what I am getting into and makes it interesting. Thank God for good teachers !!
I hope no one takes these videos down.
You guys are GREAT! I am a minister and I've shared your Bible Project videos with my minister friends. They share your videos with their congregations. Great job, Gentlemen, keep up the great work you're doing.
I’m so greatful to God for the Bible project. Praise king Jesus
Thanks a lot for this Video , very practical and helpful !!! May God bless you and your team to make videos for the growth of the body of Christ ( The church ). thanks again
thank you for your time in helping us to understand clearer the word of God. God bless you!
This is awosome, i get to learn about God everyday. I am loving it
Very good - brings clarity so the church can use 1 Tim as a manual ❤
Awesome brother. With the pictorial explanation you made it very simple and easy to understand the importance of 1 Timothy.Praise the Lord. May God bless all your efforts.
I'm a Catholic, and I love these videos!
Catholicism is not pleasant to God, get out of there.
Hey! 😁 To God Be The Glory! Today and Forever Amen!! #praiseGod #praiseJesus!!
Just amazing, so much in love the way the whole book is projected in just some few minutes ❤️
I LOVE how these videos get right to the point
Thank you soo much (from Indonesia).. God Bless You
Amen! What the church believes will shape how it lives, so integrity and devotion to King Jesus are important. Praise the Lord!
I am new here but I am fully amazed by how in simplistic graphic illustrations each book message is clearly explained. Thank you and God bless your progress.
God bless you
Thank you. Helped me better understand this chapter
8:06
"CREDIT CARDS ACCEPTED!" got me laughing!
Me too! Great sense of humor here
My brother was proud to be an usher for the evening service when he was 16 - I was proud as were our parents. After a few months, the "church" decided only old deacons can be ushers - he was out and at least one old guy who fell asleep during the service took his place. When he was on his own, my brother stopped going altogether.
Ok, this is a masterpiece, thank u so much from argentina! 🇦🇷❤
God is Amazing Sharing the Word, Spreading the News, and giving His Bread is what it is all about
Awesome work! You guys have certainly been cranking out a lot of these videos lately! Love it!
God bless you guys. You are teaching the right knowledge of bible. Big hands for you and your ministry.
Can you do a video on Women's roles in the church. I've done a lot of research on it but it still leaves me asking questions some times. in this video you guys didn't really take a stance on it but rather pointed out the different interpretations to choose from with no references to other parts of the bible so we could make an informed choice. I know these videos are supplements and not replacements for reading the bible, but at least a clear way of finding an answer would be nice rather than offering other's interpretations and saying "Here, choose the one you like"
Michael Acuna They don’t directly say it but they further explore the third interpretation and actually mention Paul’s praise of women ministers in other parts of the Bible. Also it is important to understand that in so many other when God calls us to act or lead it isn’t just for one gender. He says almost always says his people.
Because you are going wrong about it. You want THEM to provide you an answer so you can still in the end decide what your stance is. The Bible is also clear about personal convictions. If you are still confused by the passage, most probably there is a part of you that needs to submit to Gods Word or you just accept that you don’t agree with it but don’t make the Word say something it’s not saying which is exactly what Paul was preaching against. This chapter speaks clearly about the importance of women to submit to godly men and that what will preserve them from deception and the usually tricks of the devil against women, it’s to diligently perform her role as a wife and mother in the household. The fulfillment of godly women is not found in pursuing careers or men’s roles in the church but in taking care of her home. And yes many women want to disagree with it and twist the Word to conform with the world, but that is what God says and his word is yes and amen and the bible transcends generations.
You want a clear understanding, pray and continue to meditate the passage and trust that the Holy Spirit can reveal to your spirit the meaning of the verse so it becomes rhema to you and you understand the practical way to live a godly life according to what Paul was instructing Timothy to tell the church here. That’s better than shopping for the best suitable answer mostly from others who might have taken the time to pray and meditate on it.
@@sossoft I knew that was coming. I love to watch women taking place -leadearship- in the church and teaching in a biblical way. That's my point of view, and I see nothing wrong in that. Whatever you reply, I got one answer: got nothing but love to you
@@marclhernandez I don't believe there's anything wrong as well with women teaching or anyone, With education of course. I had a problem with this as well and came to conclusion in Romans and Corinthians where it talks about the gifts of the Spirit which states clearly that is for ALL to receive. Therefore, women can be called by God to be teachers just as much as men can.
The Apostle Paul was clear about women being allowed to teach other women (Titus 2:4) and likely also children. It's most likely that, when Paul was referring to prominent women, they were women who excelled in this role and/or were women who were wives of prominent men who supported their prominent husbands in their roles under their authority (e.g. Acquila and Priscilla). Paul does not allow women to teach or have authority over men. This does not mean that men would not respect what women say when it is aligned with the truth of God's Word but that they are not to teach or have authority over men in an official capacity, especially as bishops, elders, and pastors which are designated by the Spirit as official positions of authority in the church.
Some interpret Paul's teaching to be referring to wives not teaching or having authority over their husbands as the words "men" and "women" can be translated "husbands" and "wives" but the effect would still be mostly the same - if a wife is subject to her husband, how can she have authority over the church? The husband would, in reality, be in charge. One cannot separate the spheres of home life and church life - they are one and the same. A wife cannot submit to her husband at home but then have authority over him at church. There is not a magic line separating home and church where the roles are reversed.
However, all leadership roles outside of the church are open to women and there is no biblical reason why women should not be able to pursue their dream jobs and positions in non-church jobs as long as they are not neglecting their husbands and families (which also goes for the husbands). There is no reason women cannot live fulfilling and challenging lives pursuing their gifts and talents in their careers, or teaching other women and children in the church. The only thing that they are forbidden from doing is taking up roles where they exercise authority over or teach adult men.
These videos are so helpful in helping others understand and being truthful and easy to understand. Thank you and bless this channel! This channel is what helps me through reading each book of the bible and learn more!
Love it!!!!!! Please keep these going!! God bless.
Woow , this guy is spot on . Glory to God
Just amazing. Go bless you abundantly guys
Justin, I lost my dad and granddad years due to pancreatic cancer as well. I know you were hurt by your dad’s reaction to your wife. But Justin, if you don’t spend time with your dad while he’s still here, you will regret it for the rest of your life. Please go see him, even if it’s hard. Even if it’s hard to see him sick. Even if it’s hard to say goodbye without all the answers. Everything your wife is saying is right. I went through this with my dad. My dad hurt me in different ways. And I was so angry and bitter for many years.
So sorry for your loss.
Can the final frame of this video 9:12 be made available as a high res inforgraphic which can be printed in to A4 or A3 poster?
that'd be cool
Wow. What a masterful video. Very helpful to me.
Thanks for your hard work in these videos. They inspire me to read the bible more, and serve as an excellent overview!
This is soooooo good. Thank you for making it so simplistic and easily understandable.
I imagine this would've been a difficult one to communicate succinctly, especially regarding the different views on what Paul says on women teaching.
Well done!
patmasangkay Thoses women not the Women who've called today like in my ministry to the Apostolic and Prophetic
Good break down
I'm learning so much about the Bible and about Jesus, thank you so much! This in no way should replace daily scripture reading but it does help so much to break down everything you read and summarize it.
Amen, this helps me a lot on my daily bible study! God bless
Very glad I chose a bible study on youversion that showed me these videos. They are so insightful.
i dont want this to be misconstrued as a negative. i love these videos and i think that theyre an awesome bible study tool. i do have a question about the deacon part. i know that the word just means servant, but when its used here it mentions "their wives". i was wondering how you came to the conclusion that it was meant to be a group of men and women like the video said.
I was wondering the exact same thing
In my religion as one of JW’s, the name used is “Ministerial Servant” instead of a Deacon. They serve as assistants to the body of elders in the congregation. They must meet Bible standards to qualify as outlined in 1 Timothy 3:8-10,12.
Thanks for these videos. I always watch them before starting to read a new book of the bible.
New Subscriber! Thank you so much for sharing your gift of teaching with us. This makes so much sense! God bless you.

Thank you for sharing this great resource! This type of overview is so helpful for seeing the big picture and Paul’s holistic vision for Ephesus (and the church in general!)
Thanks, the context for the book is very helpful!
Thank you bible project. This ministry is great help for me understanding the bible and it's context. Godbless you
Man I have serious ADD and these videos keep me drawn in from start to finish!
I am so glad I came across your channel! I was searching for exactly this kind of explanation after questioning some things I’ve heard recently.
I have a question: where do you get the detail from? I’ve read the New Testament over and over for years and have never found the detail you provide here.
Thank you so much for this! I appreciate you! 🙏🏼
Same here, I have grown up in the Church my entire life and have somewhat read these books in the past and have heard biblical stories before but it hasn't really clicked to me this deeply until recently. It takes a lot of practice and re-reading scripture and in some cases understanding the background context of where the author is when writing or historical context. Often reading passages with similar themes will help you understand what the author is talking about in his writings. It also helps after reading a chapter to use a trustworthy resource to learn different viewpoints on what specific scriptures may be referring to and compare it to your own viewpoint. This is a very basic description of how this process can work and there's probably plenty more I haven't mentioned but I hope this helps either way.
Perfect timing..
These videos has given me so much to think about and work on my faith
The overview of the Book is good, I love the format and it is good to present the summary. This one emphasizes some good points, but all such teaching should only be a starting place for personal study, so that we are not following any person, but the Lord alone as we are led by the Holy Spirit. The Christianity is not just a set of tenets, or a creed, or a way of behaving in the world. It is rather a personal and dynamic relationship with the Lord by the Holy Spirit, Who will apply His Word in a very specific way to the individual. Romans 8:14, "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God". He will glorify God along the lines of the Book in you! It will not only be an impersonal understanding, but a profound inward transformation by the power of God dwelling in you, which is the mystery of godliness spoken of in 1 Tim 3:16. This mystery is also defined in Col 1:26-27, " Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, the hope of glory...". We are not to try and do the work of the Spirit in our own power. If that were the case we would not have needed the Lord's sacrifice. The Law for behavior would have been enough. He made a way for us to be indwelt by the Holy Spirit...to be yoked together with Him, and He said He would lead us and guide us into all truth. Praise God for the exposition of His Word, and for the encouragement it provides for us to dig deeper into the Scriptures.
Excellent, these summaries and the illustrations help capture things better. As you water us, may God bless and water you even more.
It never ceases to amaze me how the perfect, unambiguous word of the creator of our universe - god, has to be explained to us because there are so many interpretations of said, perfect and unambiguous word of god. 😂
This is great.... It Really helps me because I'll always confuse with words of Bible and their meaning... You doing good work 💯
I have an issue with what you say in 5:20, because 1 Tim. 3 says that both deacons and overseers are to be men - husbands of one wife
"Scripture does not give much support to the idea of women serving as deacons, but it does not necessarily disqualify them, either." This article is a good read: gotquestions.org/women-deacons.html
@@abrhmsancehz but is it scripture?
Completely brilliant again - this will be used at the start of our new sermon series on 1 Timothy - thank you all so much for your dedication to make the Bible accessible in these short video - blessings!
"As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. " (2 Peter, 3:16, KJV)
You sure Peter was talking about Paul being hard to understand and not the _things_ that Paul was writing about being hard to understand?
I don't want to write anything about my assumptions on what The Bible Project team believes but be very cautious about what you preach since you can mislead others. Aspecially since in the next verse Peter wrote:
"Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know [these things] before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness."
I don't want to sow discord but also feel that TBP crew sometimes goes a bit too far in the editing (interpretation) of the Scripture. Thus may God bless you and lead you in your works for His glory.
I agree with you as to interpretation of scripture. But, it cannot be denied that much hard work is put in and for the many, it would be a good starting point for study of scriptures. As far as interpretation is concerned, whoever relies on the Interpreter, the Holy Spirit, he cannot be misled. And then, we have our Berean brethren, for our example. Praise the Lord!
So we can be saved
Then why don’t you start making videos then??
praise The LORD
Thank you, for this!
