This will be post #179 on this thread and as is obvious the views have not been changed. So I will leave you to your views and I will keep mine.

And you continue to ignore that God can and has used various people to accomplish His plan. Paul was dealing with serious problems in those churches and if you took the time to look at that then you just might get a better understanding of the text.

No you have not even come close to explaining my position.

I agree that activity does not equal authority but you deny the ability of women to have any authority which puts you in the position of overruling God.

The view that women cannot be pastors from what I have seen is mainly found in Calvinist churches.

Ben you are just making foolish comments now. The Bible, the Spirit, and you are priority The Bible must be interpreted in light of its own historical setting and literary context. The intent of the original inspired author, as expressed in the text, is the focus of interpretation. "The most...

You do make a number of assumptions about those and it seems all women who are missionaries. But that is your choice. I do not hold to the Calvinist view which makes women second class. Paul was writing to correct errors in those churches and if you actually look at the culture of the time you...

And when you continue to ignore culture and reasons for those letter you still miss what Paul was saying. And just because you think a woman does not does not mean that God has not chosen to use women to lead and preach. Not all men or all women who think they are called are in fact called but...

I have pointed to scripture that you say supports your position and said it need to be read and understood in consideration of the culture and conditions that Paul was addressing. Plus I have pointed to other scripture that shows that the word servant is also translated as minister. Just...

I agree as we see that in man all the time. I am not suggesting that all the stand in the pulpit are there because God chose them to be there. I am saying that He can and has used both men and women to lead, teach and preach as He chooses to do.

What I have said more than once is that I do not presume to know whom God has chosen to bring about His plan. I also do not ignore the cultural context which you are doing.

who is a servant G1249 of the church G1577 which is at Cenchrea G2747 G1249 - Original: διάκονος - Transliteration: Diakonos - Phonetic: dee-ak’-on-os - Definition: 1. one who executes the commands of another, esp. of a master, a servant, attendant, minister a. the servant of a king b. a...

I keep pointing you to scripture and that I trust God but you still jump to odd conclusions. And you continue to ignore the culture and the conditions of the churches to which Paul was writing.
