The Problem with Proverbs 31…Part 1

What is it?Proverbs as a whole is advice for a happy and prosperous life, but its intended audience is men.“Woman of valor” Advice from a mother to a son on what to look for in a wife (Possibly from King Solomon’s own mother)The 10th-31st verses are known as “The woman of valor”. It is advice from a mother to a son on what to look for in a wife.It was likely written by Solomon himself and could be advice given to him by his mother BathshebaIt was recited in Jewish households by the husband as a praise for his wife

What it has become today?It has been elevated above all other scripture as the only example of a worthy wife.

What’s so wrong with that?It is advice not a to do listIt is unattainable – we are not perfect (and we need sleep)It is a conceptual woman not a real personLimited view of the Bible – Old Testament teaching only (Acts 15:10 tells us that no one is strong enough to carry the load of the old ways)It limits women’s ministry and influence by dismissing any other spiritual gifts not exhibited by this woman She had servants. Do ya’ll have servants? Cause we don’t.
