Karen Jobes has an excellent commentary on 1 Peter, and she writes on this. She also makes a connection to abuse.<br />jen wilkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02934053593868428344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892445584591819741.post-92133077886270688852017-02-24T05:38:15.171-08:002017-02-24T05:38:15.171-08:00Hi Jen!

Do you have any recommended resources for doing this? Unfortunately, you are the only teacher I have ever heard say that Peter is referring to physical weakness. I've always heard this taught as referring to emotions (or even intelligence or morality ugh!). I would love to study it more for myself. Thanks!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17468983644555196250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892445584591819741.post-87380510655744708592016-12-20T07:22:35.922-08:002016-12-20T07:22:35.922-08:00If “weaker vessel” means that all women after what...If “weaker vessel” means that all women after what Eve did in the Garden lack good judgement, are gullible, that they can’t discern their left hand from their right, then does that mean we have to remain in that condition?<br /><br />I don’t agree with the route that the author of this article took, however, I think I understand the reason behind this post. If some members of society believe that some others are intellectually and emotionally inferior, then those same people will more than likely treat “those others” with disdain – and then justify it through the word of God.<br /><br />As a woman and a follower of Christ, I don’t want anyone’s interaction with me to be based on the assumption that I am all of those negative things I mentioned above. If you do have those assumptions, I would suggest that they be made on a case-by-case basis -- you cannot know if they are true until you actually have knowledge of someone.<br /><br />I would also like to add that in some factions of the body of Christ, if you are a woman who does not fit the mold of “weaker vessel” as I defined above, the goal then is to herd you back to that assumption. And, if you push back against it, you must have been influenced by the feminist movement.<br />Robin Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12422045043321171845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892445584591819741.post-20837390079633124242016-10-05T12:03:58.720-07:002016-10-05T12:03:58.720-07:00The word weaker vessel was used by peter not class...The word weaker vessel was used by peter not classifying the woman as weak but was admonishing the men of his time to treat there wives with respect and value just as you treat the fragile items in your home. <br /><br />But God called the woman helpmate because the task Adam was to handle when he was alone, God saw it was too much for adam alone to handle so God decided to creat someone with same likeness as Adam that would be of help in achieving the task.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03098044477594499139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892445584591819741.post-48965426607102696422016-05-11T00:44:34.539-07:002016-05-11T00:44:34.539-07:00This is rather late to the table but you like many...This is rather late to the table but you like many so called Christian feminists are inverting God's plan for marriage.
