“Heirs together of God’s gracious gift of life.”

4. We do not believe that 1 Timothy 2:12 prohibits a11 women from any exercise of authority over men because St. Paul refers to the sin of Adam and Eve (1 Timothy 2:14) who are identified as husband and wife in Genesis 3:17. The reference to childbearing (1 Timothy 2:15) also indicates that he is discussing the relationships between husbands
and wives.


1 Tim. 2:12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

7. We do not believe that the word “head,” when used as a metaphor for the husband in the New Testament, primarily stresses the exercise of authority.

Eph. 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

WOMEN GATHER IN THE WORD AT WELS LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
The first WELS Women’s Leadership Conference was held at Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary in Mequon, Wis. The conference, titled “A Leader . . . Who? Me?” introduced a new Bible study developed by WELS Women’s Ministry Committee, “Heirs together of God’s gracious gift of life.”

GJ - "Heirs Together" is the name of the study by divorced Pastor Stadley, adulterous Pastor Iver Johnson, and Pastor M. Albrecht. They left WELS, taking the property with them, and they won the debate.

Only there was no debate. WELS crumples in the face of apostasy.
