Women Leading Prayer and Singing...?

Well, since based on what 1 Tim 2:12 says I don't think it can be talking about leading men in church as you have chosen to conclude. So I conclude that it must mean something else. And since I think scripture does clearly instruct us (all Christians men and women) that we are all to share the Gospel to the unbelieving world, I think that this is a reasonable interpretation of what it might be referring to when it mentions woman prophesies. As far as when it mentions prayer, it is that alone it mentions. Women pray in many situations and here is some instruction of that, I don't see where this verse means leading the congregation in prayer. I think this verse is intructing more on the proper attitude of these things than anything else.

1. 1Tim 2:12 is forbidding women from the pastoral teaching role. Therefore, it has no bearing on 1 Cor 11:5.

2. 1 Cor 11:5 is dealing with women praying and prophesying in the assembly before men. If this weren't the obivous conclusion and is talking about unbelievers or only women gathering, Why does Paul say that they need to be in proper decorum?

You asked the question why? I tried my best to answered as to why. So at this point I guess we will have to just agree to disagree.
