I have one better they can come to Florida and convert all the Brazilians who are here in Broward County. If they can empty all the Brazilian Assembly of God, Trinity Pentecostal, God is Love, Christian Congregation, and make those Brazilians Apostolic, I would love it! Hey we have Brazilians and Portuguese who need people who speak their language. So come on over two weeks is a great goal.
Just when I think I've seen enough pompous posting from you...........

"As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and DESTROY the way of thy paths."
Women teaching men was unacceptable in the scriptures.
Prove that any women taught married or single adult men.
Here ya go.......
Acts 18:24 And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
25 This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

Israel was BACKSLID and having female rule was a rebuke to the men. Deborah had to call for a MAN to lead the armies of Israel and because he was a foolish enough to ask Deborah to go WITH him he would not gain the victory but it would be put in the hands of a girl with a tent stake.
Read the chapter well.
ROFL! A rebuke to the men? You got scripture for that, or is that just another one of your insane rantings?

How can we read into Isa.3:12 that a woman won't be teaching several hundred years later? It has no bearing on if precillia actually taught or not. In this case it is grasping at straws looking for anything to say, no she didn't. it just isn't recorded what exactly she did.
But it does say acts 18:26 "And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly. "
Or was the word they, mistranslated? There is no break inbetween the actions listed. no new subject listed to do the new action of expounding (teaching)...so yes it can be infered that she did teach, along side of her husband. I don't see her doing it on her own, but I don't see her just sitting there knitting or something else either. It says THEY, so they includes precilla.
Funny thing about the word 'they'. See when Paul and Silas are mentioned together as THEY, that means they both were doing the same thing. When Aquilla and Priscilla are mentioned together as THEY, that means Priscilla was in the kitchen cooking and Aquilla was doing the deed.

As you said; it doesn't say she did, and it doesn't say she didn't. That means there is not enough info to make a case one way or the other. Just reread your own post.
The Bible says 'they did something' and you claim it doesn't say whether she did or didn't?? Did you take American English in high school? Better yet, in elementary school?
I have two kids. If someone tells me they saw them at the local bar, that means they were both there! There is no way I could be seen as any way intelligent if I said to someone, yeah, Pete told me he saw them at the bar, but I don't think that means he saw them both there........
Don't have to reread the post, just reread Acts 18. It's very clear what THEY were doing.

I just have to ask again, WHY DO YOU HAVE TO COMPARE THEM TO LESBIANS????
Do you have some sick fascination with that issue or something??
I'm 5'10", large frame, deep voice, and I wear pants. You might think that I'm a bit on the masculine side but to consider me a lesbian because I act a little masculine is something you seriously need prayer about.
Do you swagger to the pulpit to preach or act like a man while ministering? Do you claim to be a preacher and then try to see how masculine you can act? If so, I don't believe in your ministry either.
At least Paula White at Church Without Vows International acts like a lady. Outside of preaching damnable false doctine she is light years ahead of some Pentecostal women preachers I've seen.
As for what you call a 'sick fascination' with them? No. I do have a strong love for God's Word and a strong destesting of anything that doesn't align with that Word. Perhaps I could utilize the same twisted supposition with you and say, "Do you have some perverted desires for manly women? Is that why you are trying to take up for masculine lesbians?" Now that would be unfair, wouldn't it. But, using your weird logic it would be compatible with what you said to me.
Let me clarify one more time: I used the word lesbian because most of the lesbians I notice are the swaggering, manly acting kind. That is what some women preachers act like. It is that SOME that I'm talking about that gives legitimate women preachers a bad name.
As for pictures? This has nothing to do with pictures. I didn't post any pictures at all so you may have me confused with someone else.
I never said that all women preachers are the masculine lesbian type. I did say that the masculine lesbian type seem to give women preachers a bad name.
