How do we know the teaching on women's roles is true?

Answered in 1 source

The teaching on women's roles in the church is true as it is derived directly from Scripture and is affirmed by historical theological understanding.

The truth of the teaching regarding women's roles in the church is rooted in the authoritative texts of Scripture, particularly 1 Timothy 2:11-12, where Paul explicitly states that women should learn in silence and not exercise authority over men. This directive is not merely Paul's opinion but is presented as a command from God. Coupled with the creation narrative found in Genesis, which elucidates the order of creation with Adam first formed and then Eve, this establishes a theological basis for these roles. Furthermore, historical theology and the consensus of the historic Reformed tradition affirm this understanding, consistently interpreting Scripture in light of its comprehensive message about gender roles.
