How do we know the Bible's teachings on authority are true?
Answered in 1 source
The teachings on authority are true because they are grounded in divine revelation and the created order established by God.
The teachings regarding authority, especially between men and women, are firmly rooted in Scripture and highlighted in passages such as 1 Timothy 2:13-15. Paul asserts that these instructions are not merely his views but are the commandments from God, reflecting His creation order—'for Adam was first formed, then Eve.' This foundational truth shows us that God has a purposeful design in how He has created both sexes, which extends beyond cultural context and into the divine order of the Gospel. Thus, we see that acknowledging this authority and structure upholds the integrity of biblical doctrine.
