Question 2 of 8
2. Question
What can you say if someone says women were created to be men’s helpmates? (Select all that apply)
- All people are created in God's image.
- All people are to "rule over" the earth and its contents.
- When Paul talks about Jesus as the "second Adam" in Romans 5, he's probably talking about both the person and sinful humanity in general.
- Because Adam was created before Eve, he has authority over her.
- A "helpmate" is an equal who comes to the rescue, so that the 'adam doesn't have to be alone.
- Adam was created in God's image, Eve was created in Adam's image and so she secondarily reflects God.

Question 4 of 8
4. Question
What can you say when someone says patriarchy is God’s plan? (Select All that Apply)
- Women are the emotional and nurturing side of humanity, while men are the strong and rational side. Each has its important place within a patriarchal system.
- Gender hierarchy is a result of sin, not a command of God. God's work in Christ is against the effects of sin.
- One result of sin in human relationship is that people will turn toward each other instead of God.
- All of scripture supports patriarchy (male rule). The creation order of man being created before woman points to this truth.
- The final destruction of sin will also mean the final destruction of patriarchy and sexism.
- God was clear that because Eve caused the fall of all creation, she could not be trusted, and Adam must take the leadership.

Question 7 of 8
7. Question
How do egalitarians understand equal but different? (Select all that apply)
- Men and women are equal before God, but their embodied differences means they have different roles.
- Men and women are embodied differently, giving them unique and different perspectives, but both are equally able to lead, exercise their gifts, and have authority.
- As God is relational in the three equal but distinctly different persons, Father, Spirit, Son, so too are men and women created in God's image. Men and women are created to be in relationship as equal but distinctly different persons.

Question 8 of 8
8. Question
Review and consider the varied reasons people have given for the odd verses of 1 Timothy 2:9-15 which, among other things, tells women they should not teach men.
- The Artemis cult in Ephesus.
- Women were not as educated as men and were disrupting the service with loud questions so that it was hard for anyone to learn.
- The church was feeling the outside pressure of non-Christians who did not approve of women's leadership, so Paul was trying to help the church avoid persecution.
- The church had lost its hold on the gospel as men took over the leadership.
- Timothy was so young, not feeling well, and overwhelmed with the rambunctious church in Ephesus, that Paul gave some strict rules so that Timothy would not burn out and could disciple the church to the best of his ability.
- This is a time-bound, specific instruction in a personal letter, which was not meant to be universally applied to all situations at all times.
- Paul did not write this letter, but someone who thought they understood Pauline thought, and who was trying to help the church navigate growing persecution.
- This letter represents the historic church and Judeo/Christian faith. There are no issues with these verses.
- There is no one answer to this question. We must interpret it in light of the arc of scripture and the revealed heart of God, while still seriously considering the history, culture, and scholarship. Many of these answers might be right, and might go together.
