How do we know the roles of men and women in the church are true?

The roles of men and women in the church, as defined in Scripture, stem from God’s original design during creation. Paul refers to the order of creation in 1 Timothy 2:13, emphasizing that Adam was formed first, followed by Eve. This order signifies a certain leadership role for men while highlighting the supportive role of women. The truth of these roles stands not just on cultural norms but is grounded in the biblical narrative and God's sovereign design, affirmed throughout the New Testament.
