And for about the umpteenth time now, I'll say that I'm well aware of the historical/cultural aspect of Scripture. Problem is, you'll get a myriad of opinions as to what that is, since 1st century records are so scanty. I shy away from those who render the plainess of a verse such as I Tim. 2:11-15....making the Word of God of no effect. That's all I'm saying.

Where do I begin?

I didn't "deride" the word "epistemology," I chuckled at YOU. You amuse me in a weird way. (And I hope you weren't connecting "epistemology" to "epistles" either lol)

On the one hand, you recognize the historical/aspect of Scripture, and on the other you seem to think you can interpret a Text without it. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

Well, conveniently, you ignore the whole message of what I said, and zone in on your canned responses (same way you treat the Text).

You keep wanting to inject your own definition as to what preaching is, by saying "it's when one expounds from the Text." That's not accurate in the least.

Besides, the term "authority" still connotes the idea of "authority"......which is why it's translated this way, by approximately 1000 translators, Hmmmmm?????

Auto-pilot.
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?

Have you ever looked into the etymology of the term epistemology? Mu point is that there's very little metaphorical verses in the epistles. Some, but not very much, since they're pretty much direct instructions to the church.....inluding I Tim. 2:11-15, I Cor. 14:34!

Can you not read? Sheesh, I've "said what I mean" constantly! Or, do you think I "say what I DON'T mean"?????

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...

I've repeatedly said [if you'd quit your attack mode for a moment & go back thru the various posts] that I believe that women can prophesy, which is a form of preaching, I suppose you could say. 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:_________?
