That's just the point, the Bible DOES NOT SAY that "women preached"....YOU'RE SUPPLYING THAT INTO THE TEXT.....NEVER SYAYED BY THE SAME! You have women who "went everywhere preaching" from a jail cell!?!?!?!?!

Yes, the church is made up of women, as well as men, as well as infants, as well as little children! I suppose that the infants also had their Bible's out & was a spittin' & sputterin' ehh??? O' consistency, thou art a jewel!

Let me help you out a bit on I Tim. 3 & your assertion that "office" is in the feminine. This same Greek syntax & word is also used in I Ptr. & Lk, and is translated as "day of visitation"....which was & will be the return of Christ, not a "liberated" woman executing a man's place! Or else, you better make Christ a "she"????????????????

The identical phrase is also translated as "bishoprick" in Acts 1 to refer to the office that Judas [a man] held! So, what we learn here is that it's the noun [office] that's in the feminine, but the one holding that office is in the MASCULINE, just as the next verse shows in I Tim. 3:2....so, sorry, try again!
