Ho-Hum....another verse we've dealt w/ ad nauseum. Hey, I just has a thought, how about if we just kept asking you to explain I Tim. 2:11-15 [which you've yet to satisfy!] no matter how detailed you answered?????

I reeeeeeeeeeeally wish you would interact w/ that text by the way......

No one does this who advocates women preachers, they just give knee jerk reactions and touchy feely emotions but i give you the Word of God.

Amen & Amen!

Funny...we must not have the same Bible! My Bible does not ONCE refer to a prophetess in the NT church economy! Even if it did, the meaning of "prophetess" does not connote a "women preacher" in the since of the set-in office of the 5-fold ministry. Spare me Young's Concordance...since he already believed in women preachers!

I just find it hard sharing positions with someone that speaks with such venom.

Interesting, and to play the other side, the very proclaiming of Jesus' resurrection was a task given to a woman!

2:8-15 Under the gospel, prayer is not to be confined to any one particular house of prayer, but men must pray every where. We must pray in our closets, pray in our families, pray at our meals, pray when we are on journeys, and pray in the solemn assemblies, whether more public or private. We must pray in charity; without wrath, or malice, or anger at any person. We must pray in faith, without doubting, and without disputing. Women who profess the Christian religion, must be modest in apparel, not affecting gaudiness, gaiety, or costliness. Good works are the best ornament; these are, in the sight of God, of great price. Modesty and neatness are more to be consulted in garments than elegance and fashion. And it would be well if the professors of serious godliness were wholly free from vanity in dress. They should spend more time and money in relieving the sick and distressed, than in decorating themselves and their children. To do this in a manner unsuitable to their rank in life, and their profession of godliness, is sinful. These are not trifles, but Divine commands. The best ornaments for professors of godliness, are good works. According to St. Paul, women are not allowed to be public teachers in the church; for teaching is an office of authority. But good women may and ought to teach their children at home the principles of true religion. Also, women must not think themselves excused from learning what is necessary to salvation, though they must not usurp authority. As woman was last in the creation, which is one reason for her subjection, so she was first in the transgression. But there is a word of comfort; that those who continue in sobriety, shall be saved in child-bearing, or with child-bearing, by the Messiah, who was born of a woman. And the especial sorrow to which the female sex is subject, should cause men to exercise their authority with much gentleness, tenderness, and affection.

I disagree that all egalitarians are reflective of feminism ideology.

Most respect women, find that they have much to contribute, unique perspectives and wish to celebrate them in this way. It's not about diminishing gender roles in society, from those whom I've been around.
