In 1 Timothy, Paul says:
1 Timothy 2:15 (ESV)
15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
Does the “she” refer to Eve, or all women? And does the “they” refer to the same object as the “she”?
The New International Version seems to think that it applies to all women:
1 Timothy 2:15 (NIV)
15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
But a natural reading of this doesn’t seem to agree with most Scripture, including:
Galatians 3:28 (NIV)
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
How should 1 Timothy 2:15 be interpreted?

Daniel Day II
I believe that the United States is the Great Whore . She is selling her soul to the Devil . I also believe that the United States will fall . She has rejected GOD . If the United States doesn’t Repent , GOD will reject us and remove HIS Mercies and Grace from us .
HE WILL ALLOW US TO BE DESTROYED AND ASSIMILATED INTO THE NEW WORLD ORDER .
THE GREAT BABYLON HAS FALLEN .

I do know that any Nation that is living like ours wii have to repent. 2nd Chronicles 7:14. Days if my People which are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray, and seek My Face , and turn from their wicked way. And pray. Then Will I hear from Heaven , and will forgive their sins and heal their land. Someone America needs to start praying. All the awful sins . Killing babies. Just as they are coming out of the Mothers stomach. There needs some praying and repenting going on. We need world wide Revival.

The legs have already passed, the future is iron mixed with clay feet .

I believe Babylon mentioned is NOT the USA. I believe it is the world political-theocratic system used by Satan that has deceived the earth and empowered Satan’s lies since Eden. During the 7 year Tribulation it will be empowered as never before by the Political-Religious union and deception of The Anti-Christ and False prophet! It will be destroyed and Christ shall reign for 1000 years from Jerusalem, Peace On Earth finally!
