Don't listen to the scholar because she's a woman.
I used to think this was just your theology, but perhaps your theology also reflects your attitude toward women (in your case).

Again. 5 paragraphs of information and all she gets back is a canned response.

Are you really serious about interacting on this topic?

Sure! But prophecy is N-O-T an exposition from the Bible! When a woman does this, she violates I Tim. 2:11-15.....very clearly.

Furthermore, I'll just assume that you cannot provide the biblical example of the NT woman preacher, this should be easy enough for to do, since you believe in them.....surely there's at least O-N-E example.....right:_________?

So here's something for you, show me one example of where any of the NT pastors (we can even use the term elders) expounded from the Bible (not just citing scripture), but expounded from it. Go ahead, your turn :)

Sorry, Sis. Alvear, you're a woman and the person you cite is a woman -- they can't contribute anything of value here, according to RDP.

Context. That's a big hermeneutic word for you.

Read my remarks in CONTEXT.

In other words, don't tell me you see how historical-cultural context is necessary for interpret, and then give reasons why you won't use it and refer to this "plain meaning" of the Text. You're words are adding up here...
