Home Bible Study? You are now reading things into what is not there. Good job Bible expert.

How can the "weaker vessel" lead or preside over that vessel it is weaker than?

What is your interpretation of the term weaker vessel? Could it possibly be that the frame of a woman is lighter than a man? When bones are found the
density of the bone is measured and certain other aspects that show whether the bones found are male or female including the pelvis width.
I would not say it could be interpreted weaker in the spiritual sense though
because it seems there are more women in the Christian world than men.
So what do you feel it means exactly according to Biblical interpretation?
I can't say always in the physical sense either that men are stronger because I have met some very physically strong women and some very physically men.
Just some thoughts.

Typical scorn from an advocate of "women preachers" [begotten from a heart of bitterness, no doubt]. But, do tell, were they in a congregational setting, or home setting:__________? Talk about "reading things into what is not there." LOL......

Besides, I've told you enough, you'll have to answer for your disobedience to Scripture....not me. Only responded out of amazement at your implications.
Believe what ya'll will.....I'll stick to the Book!

wow...no wonder so many women in Pentecost leave their husbands...many have cried on my shoulders telling me they don't even feel a part of the husbands ministry...so sad...

[Sister Alvear]

I have stayed alone for months at a time while my husband traveled doing deputation...I love being a part of his ministry and thus we form a strong cord that cannot be broken...whatever he needs for me to do I am at his service!

What's "sad" is outright defiance to the plain written Word of God via I Tim. 2:11-15/I cor. 14:34, etc., etc.

You are so funny Brother. I am about the nicest lady you will meet. I sure don't have a heart of bitterness. Keep on believing the stuff you do. I however will keep on reaching the lost for Jesus.
Have a great day!

What a blessing you are for sure. I hate the thought of being apart but Jesus knows the need. I am so glad He gave you sons and daughters in the Gospel for His work. Let us know when you are near us. I would love to visit with you
soon. In Jesus!

I see, the "nicest lady I will meet" scornfully refers to me as "Bible expert" in total derisiveness????? Not hardly.

Yep, I'll keep on believing the plain words of the great apostle Paul! Hopefully someday you'll do the same & get honest w/ the text of I Tim. 2, which is not contextually dealing w/ "reaching the lost"....for about the 11th time now!!

Sheesh................

For those interested, I just came across an excellent series of articles regarding the "women preacher" issue. Simply Google "Six Claims Used To Support Women Preachers," by Bro. Cohen Reckart from Tampa Bay, FL.

It's very insightful & factual based. Just FYI.
