       To usurp authority is to take authority, bypass authority or
       disregard it. So the verse is talking about man's authority, not
       a woman's, in my opinion.
       [/quote]Yet the verse says that a woman is not to usurp her
       authority over the man....where does that authority come from?
       But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over
       the man, but to be in silence.
       The usurping of authority is over a man not the man's authority
       but the womans....over the man's
       [/quote]The word "her" isn't there so I take it to still be
       referring to man's authority. I've never studied this but is the
       a verse ore verses that say that women have authority and what
       that is?
       [/quote]how can a woman not usurp a man's authority over him?
       She has no control over his authority to usurp it over
       anyone...?
       [/quote]I don't understand the question, how can a woman NOT
       assume control over a man, is that what you're asking because
       that's how it reads. So let's say that women have some
       authority. Where does the Bible say that and explain what that
       entails?

       [/quote]what I am saying is that the passage instructs women to
       not usurp authority over the man...now in the culture of the day
       the woman had no authority to usurp...so where in the verse does
       that authority come from?  If she has no authority to usurp why
       would there be a teaching on not usurping the authority she does
       NOT have?  It would be like me giving an instruction to my baby
       on how to drive a car even though they couldn't drive yet...what
       is the point of such instruction if there is no authority for
       her to usurp in the first place?

       Lori, I can see how you can interpret that from the verse but
       then we need at least one more verse to reprove that. That leads
       to the question of where else in the whole Bible does God speak
       of a woman's authority, or any of the Bible authors?

       [/quote]fair enough....Proverbs 31...the wife of noble character
       for one....notice some of the things it says about the wife of
       noble character...she is doing business with the important men
       of the day...we also see woman in authority throughout
       scripture...like
  HTML https://margmowczko.com/the-propriety-of-women-with-authority/
       we can go further...Christianity was like the womens rights
       movement of the day....NOW that does NOT mean it is like our
       woman's movement but rather it was liberating for the woman of
       the day and they didn't have any basis to know what to do with
       that new found freedom they had in Christ.  So they needed
       instruction on how to use this new found freedom to the glory of
       God.  It doesn't mean that God was keeping them silent but
       rather trying to teach them that there is a time and place and
       since He gave them the authority, they needed to wait for Him to
       open the door to use it...
       another scripture...Galatians 3:28

       Lori, I see a slight chip on your shoulder in your answer. You
       are speaking about two subjects (Husband and Man) [/quote] the
       chip you perceive is just that, your perception...I am only
       interested in what scripture tells us...no chip [quote]
       **** "thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
       thee"   Gen 3:16[/quote] look at the context....16 Unto the
       woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
       conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy
       desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
       The context is clearly talking about the pain of child
       birth....if you don't know by now that a woman may not want
       children or the pain of childbirth but still desires a sexual
       relationship with her husband I don't know what to tell you.
       The text if read for comprehension clearly says NOTHING at all
       about a woman desiring her husbands authority...that is not to
       say that some don't, it just means that a rightly divided word
       is important to our understanding of the text.[/quote]
       Hi Lori.... Yes it is speaking of Child birth and the increased
       sorrows it will bring to all women having a child. However, the
       "; " after 'children' and the "and" in the next statement the
       commands of our LORD changes.
       God's judgement on the woman is that she IS TO desire her
       husband. For those that have no husband, no worries. But you and
       I both know there are many women who are married but desire
       someone else. Having married in 1969, times have drastically
       changed and more of both man and woman seek their desires
       outside of the marriage.
       In the last part of the verse, God is giving the authority of
       man over the woman in the marriage.
       [quote author=Lori Bolinger link=topic=379.msg4540#msg4540
       date=1553262440]
       Which btw, your video did NOT answer the question about who gave
       the woman the authority she was not to usurp over the man.
       [/quote]
       [shadow=blue,left]God did not give women any authority to usurp
       the God given authority of MAN in the church and marriage.
       One verse is in GEN 3 and  One verse is in 1 Tim 2. Both are
       completely different in context yet the same to some degree.
       One pertains to both Judgement because of her sin (the sorrows)
       and two commands concerning the marriage.
       1Tim 2 pertains to the conduct of a woman in the church. It is
       clear She is not supposed to desire to become an elder, deacon,
       pastor or other Administrative position that places her above
       any MAN in the church. [/shadow]
       [quote author=Lori Bolinger link=topic=379.msg4540#msg4540
       date=1553262440]
       God foreknew that women would not stay under the rules of Her
       husband and Thus God made it a command for the women to follow.
       In reality, the command of GOD serves to show just have far we
       have come and how far down we have fallen.[/quote] please show
       this in scripture....I'm seriously anxious to see this in
       scripture without inflating into the Gen. text what is NOT
       there. [quote]
       We see this today in society all over the world. In fact, Man is
       no longer needed for procreation. Marriages between Man and
       woman are on the downfall.Why get married today when you can
       hookup just about anywhere. [/quote] Just because a society is
       out of control does NOT mean the same case is found in
       scripture. [quote]
       "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over
       the man, but to be in silence."[/quote] Now...let's look at
       this....I suffer not a woman to teach and yet we tell woman that
       they can teach children...in fact, the mother's job is to teach.
       So obviously there is more to that phrase.  "Nor to usurp
       authority over the man"  Now I asked you where she got the
       authority she was NOT to usurp and you posted a video that did
       NOT answer the question.  Obviously she was given authority by
       someone if her instruction was not to usurp that authority...we
       know two things about that authority, 1. it did not come from
       men who considered the woman a property and 2. the teaching is
       not that she took authority that did not belong to her so it was
       an acceptable authority if properly handled....but to be
       silent...if you look at the word silent, it means a quiet
       spirit...just as men are to have.  So no, in a study of the
       passage it does NOT mean for woman to be quiet, it means to live
       in peace as you wait for God to open the doors for you to teach.
       [quote] [/quote]
       [shadow=blue,left]The whole verse is one subject: "But I suffer
       not a woman to teach" To teach what or whom???/ we see in the
       second part it is MAN.
       The second part:"nor to usurp authority over the man," By the
       definition of "usurp' alone meaning "take the place of (someone
       in a position of power) illegally; supplant." among other defs.
       Then in the third part of the verse, He restates the how the
       woman is to accomplish this: "but to be in silence". The woman
       is not to make or rebut any decisions of authority in the
       church.[/shadow]
       [quote author=Lori Bolinger link=topic=379.msg4540#msg4540
       date=1553262440]
       God also foreknew that women would want and take positions of
       authority He had given man in the Church. Therefore he give this
       commandment  specifically to the women. Here to we also see just
       how far we have come and how far we have fallen.[/quote] look at
       the teaching....again in context...verse 1 and 2 talk about how
       a man is to live in quietness and peace...and then in verse 9
       where we transition into woman what does it say?  IN LIKE
       MANNER...iows the teaching is pretty much the same which
       confirms the usage of silent to mean quiet and peaceful spirit
       not words out of the mouth. [quote]
       You might ask why did he write the commandments?
       Have you left a command of some sort, with your children knowing
       that if you did not, chances were good they would not do this
       command on their own.
       Is it not also true, there is  a slight chance (depending on the
       command and the force behind it) that it would not be obeyed
       even when it is given.
       GOD does command and ask you as a woman to be godly and be
       subjective to your husband.[/quote] now...let's talk about godly
       and subjective a moment...first the complete teaching which is
       usually ignored is that Christ is the head of the husband and
       God is the head of Christ....Iow's the example of how a woman is
       to behave in marriage is seen through how her husband
       behaves...the husband is the example setter, the servant leader
       like that of Christ.  But we fail to teach this, wanting woman
       to be subservient to men.  If you start looking into the meaning
       of the word translated as submissive what you see is that in non
       military terms it means to work together, you know, going back
       to Gen. where it teaches that the woman was a help mate for the
       man...not a slave to or under the man but a helper to him.
       [quote]
       He does command you as a woman not to upsurp the authority of
       Man in the Church. [/quote] Here is what people do NOT get when
       they talk to me about this topic.  I was raised to be a slave to
       men...and I was comfortable with that.  It's all I knew.  My
       husband told me to study it and learn so I did and found that
       that is NOT what Paul is teaching here.  How can I hold to what
       I was taught and am comfortable with when scripture says that is
       wrong?  Now as to usurping authority over a man...heaven help me
       if I ever do.  In fact, I cannot count the number of times I
       have bitten my tongue to avoid usurping authority over men, but
       that does not mean what you are claiming nor what the video
       claims...it means that God has given me a voice and where I need
       to use it, I can only do so with a quiet and peaceful demeanor
       like that of the men God has put in my life as an example of
       servant leadership.  Amen and amen. [quote][/quote]
       [shadow=blue,left]You husband is right, you said:"I was raised
       to be a slave to men",  This I  have seen all to many times as
       well. wrong interpretation leads to all kinds of variant
       behavior.
       My hat is off to you for your holding of your silence but the
       only two places this commands take place is in the marriage and
       in the Church (specifically at the administration) positions.
       Paul teaches the Husband in Eph 5:33.."Nevertheless let every
       one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and
       the wife see that she reverence her husband."
       Many men do not do this.[/shadow]
       [quote author=Lori Bolinger link=topic=379.msg4540#msg4540
       date=1553262440]
       *********
       You then said:"likewise in the total passage"
       "likewise" occurs 107 time in the KJV Bible. Can you be more
       specific?[/quote] see above...[quote]
       The WORD of GOD and His Commandment(s) for the woman is straight
       forward. There is no way around it. You as a woman, have a
       choice to obey His commands that were made for you specifically
       or not. [/quote]
       I choose to obey and repent when I slip up...but I obey the
       commands of God not the commands of men so if you want me to
       believe you have knowledge about this topic, prove it with
       scripture so that I can repent of being the woman of God that He
       has instructed me to be throughout the totality of scripture not
       just some proof texted passage.
       [/quote]
       [shadow=blue,left]Lori... in the end, we either have to obey
       God's commands or NOT? The woman has her commands from GOD and
       the Man has his commands from GOD.
       I might add, in the Church(body/bride) of Christ, we are one
       body. Jesus is the Head and savior as Paul states in Eph.
       5:23.."For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ
       is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body."
       some extras:
       1 Co 7:22.."Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man
       have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."
       1 Co 11:3.."But I would have you know, that the head of every
       man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the
       head of Christ is God."

       I both know there are many women who are married but desire
       someone else. Having married in 1969, times have drastically
       changed and more of both man and woman seek their desires
       outside of the marriage.
       In the last part of the verse, God is giving the authority of
       man over the woman in the marriage.[/quote] HUH?  You want me to
       believe that the subject changes without warning from desiring
       your husband even though it will hurt to bear his children to
       the man's authority...how strange, either that or I am not
       following your argument...people, both men and woman are
       evil...what does that have to do with a change in subject
       without warning that there is a change midway?  [quote]

       Which btw, your video did NOT answer the question about who gave
       the woman the authority she was not to usurp over the man.
       [/quote]
       [shadow=blue,left]God did not give women any authority to usurp
       the God given authority of MAN in the church and marriage.
       One verse is in GEN 3 and  One verse is in 1 Tim 2. Both are
       completely different in context yet the same to some degree.
       One pertains to both Judgement because of her sin (the sorrows)
       and two commands concerning the marriage.
       1Tim 2 pertains to the conduct of a woman in the church. It is
       clear She is not supposed to desire to become an elder, deacon,
       pastor or other Administrative position that places her above
       any MAN in the church. [/shadow]So repeating your assumptions
       does NOT address what the text says.  Let's try this
       again...When the passage says that we woman are NOT to usurp
       authority over a man it is not the man's authority that she is
       not allowed to usurp over a man...so where did her authority she
       is not suppose to usurp over the man come from...?  that is the
       question...The passage in Gen. is talking about desiring your
       husband even though it will result in pain according to the
       context.as to marriage what part of that passage do you want to
       talk about? [quote]
       [quote author=Lori Bolinger link=topic=379.msg4540#msg4540
       date=1553262440]
       God foreknew that women would not stay under the rules of Her
       husband and Thus God made it a command for the women to follow.
       In reality, the command of GOD serves to show just have far we
       have come and how far down we have fallen.[/quote] please show
       this in scripture....I'm seriously anxious to see this in
       scripture without inflating into the Gen. text what is NOT
       there. [quote]
       We see this today in society all over the world. In fact, Man is
       no longer needed for procreation. Marriages between Man and
       woman are on the downfall.Why get married today when you can
       hookup just about anywhere. [/quote] Just because a society is
       out of control does NOT mean the same case is found in
       scripture. [quote]
       "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over
       the man, but to be in silence."[/quote] Now...let's look at
       this....I suffer not a woman to teach and yet we tell woman that
       they can teach children...in fact, the mother's job is to teach.
       So obviously there is more to that phrase.  "Nor to usurp
       authority over the man"  Now I asked you where she got the
       authority she was NOT to usurp and you posted a video that did
       NOT answer the question.  Obviously she was given authority by
       someone if her instruction was not to usurp that authority...we
       know two things about that authority, 1. it did not come from
       men who considered the woman a property and 2. the teaching is
       not that she took authority that did not belong to her so it was
       an acceptable authority if properly handled....but to be
       silent...if you look at the word silent, it means a quiet
       spirit...just as men are to have.  So no, in a study of the
       passage it does NOT mean for woman to be quiet, it means to live
       in peace as you wait for God to open the doors for you to teach.
       [quote] [/quote]
       [shadow=blue,left]The whole verse is one subject: "But I suffer
       not a woman to teach" To teach what or whom???/ we see in the
       second part it is MAN.[/quote] so in this passage there is NO
       change in subject but in the Gen. passage there is?  What makes
       us think that is a solid exegesis of scripture?
       Ah but that was not my point about teaching...my point was that
       obviously something is missing in our interpretation when we see
       "I do not suffer woman to teach" but then we see them admonished
       to teach both children and younger woman...so the "literal"
       teaching is a bit off based on what we know about
       teaching...[quote]
       The second part:"nor to usurp authority over the man," By the
       definition of "usurp' alone meaning "take the place of (someone
       in a position of power) illegally; supplant." among other defs.
       Then in the third part of the verse, He restates the how the
       woman is to accomplish this: "but to be in silence". The woman
       is not to make or rebut any decisions of authority in the
       church.[/shadow][/quote] again you failed to make your case, all
       you did was repeat what was already said and offered no rebuttal
       of what I pointed out to you.
       Silence means quiet as in quiet and peaceful spirit, just like
       the men...that is the point. [quote]
       [quote author=Lori Bolinger link=topic=379.msg4540#msg4540
       date=1553262440]
       God also foreknew that women would want and take positions of
       authority He had given man in the Church. Therefore he give this
       commandment  specifically to the women. Here to we also see just
       how far we have come and how far we have fallen.[/quote] look at
       the teaching....again in context...verse 1 and 2 talk about how
       a man is to live in quietness and peace...and then in verse 9
       where we transition into woman what does it say?  IN LIKE
       MANNER...iows the teaching is pretty much the same which
       confirms the usage of silent to mean quiet and peaceful spirit
       not words out of the mouth. [quote]
       You might ask why did he write the commandments?
       Have you left a command of some sort, with your children knowing
       that if you did not, chances were good they would not do this
       command on their own.
       Is it not also true, there is  a slight chance (depending on the
       command and the force behind it) that it would not be obeyed
       even when it is given.
       GOD does command and ask you as a woman to be godly and be
       subjective to your husband.[/quote] now...let's talk about godly
       and subjective a moment...first the complete teaching which is
       usually ignored is that Christ is the head of the husband and
       God is the head of Christ....Iow's the example of how a woman is
       to behave in marriage is seen through how her husband
       behaves...the husband is the example setter, the servant leader
       like that of Christ.  But we fail to teach this, wanting woman
       to be subservient to men.  If you start looking into the meaning
       of the word translated as submissive what you see is that in non
       military terms it means to work together, you know, going back
       to Gen. where it teaches that the woman was a help mate for the
       man...not a slave to or under the man but a helper to him.
       [quote]
       He does command you as a woman not to upsurp the authority of
       Man in the Church. [/quote] Here is what people do NOT get when
       they talk to me about this topic.  I was raised to be a slave to
       men...and I was comfortable with that.  It's all I knew.  My
       husband told me to study it and learn so I did and found that
       that is NOT what Paul is teaching here.  How can I hold to what
       I was taught and am comfortable with when scripture says that is
       wrong?  Now as to usurping authority over a man...heaven help me
       if I ever do.  In fact, I cannot count the number of times I
       have bitten my tongue to avoid usurping authority over men, but
       that does not mean what you are claiming nor what the video
       claims...it means that God has given me a voice and where I need
       to use it, I can only do so with a quiet and peaceful demeanor
       like that of the men God has put in my life as an example of
       servant leadership.  Amen and amen. [quote][/quote]
       [shadow=blue,left]You husband is right, you said:"I was raised
       to be a slave to men",  This I  have seen all to many times as
       well. wrong interpretation leads to all kinds of variant
       behavior.
       My hat is off to you for your holding of your silence but the
       only two places this commands take place is in the marriage and
       in the Church (specifically at the administration) positions.
       [/quote] No where that I know of does scripture tell woman to be
       silent in their marriage...and the passage in question does NOT
       command woman to be silent in their churches either...at least
       as it is studied using the totality of scripture to interpret
       scripture....now that does NOT mean I am advocating woman take
       over the church or even become pastors...what I am saying is
       that that teaching is no where in scripture that I can find and
       thus we dare not read into the scripture what is not there.
       For example...who did Christ choose to first preach the truth of
       his resurrection?  A man or a woman?  Telling the world about
       His resurrection is the very message of the Church and it was
       women that first took the gospel message to the men of the
       church....so how then can we claim that woman have no authority
       to teach men when Christ Himself chose woman to teach the men
       about His resurrection...?  Did Christ violate the command of
       Paul about women teaching men? [quote]
       Paul teaches the Husband in Eph 5:33.."Nevertheless let every
       one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and
       the wife see that she reverence her husband."
       Many men do not do this.[/shadow]

       You then said:"likewise in the total passage"
       "likewise" occurs 107 time in the KJV Bible. Can you be more

       The WORD of GOD and His Commandment(s) for the woman is straight
       forward. There is no way around it. You as a woman, have a
       choice to obey His commands that were made for you specifically
       or not. [/quote]
       I choose to obey and repent when I slip up...but I obey the

       just some proof texted passage.

       [shadow=blue,left]Lori... in the end, we either have to obey

       to show how your interpretation of the passage is in correct
       line with the totality of scripture. [quote]
       I might add, in the Church(body/bride) of Christ, we are one
       body. Jesus is the Head and savior as Paul states in Eph.
       5:23.."For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ
       is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body."
       some extras:
       1 Co 7:22.."Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man
       have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."
       1 Co 11:3.."But I would have you know, that the head of every
       man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the
       head of Christ is God."

       Lori, I see a slight chip on your shoulder in your answer. You
       are speaking about two subjects (Husband and Man) [/quote] the
       chip you perceive is just that, your perception...I am only
       interested in what scripture tells us...no chip [quote]
       **** "thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
       thee"   Gen 3:16[/quote] look at the context....16 Unto the
       woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy
       conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy
       desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
       The context is clearly talking about the pain of child
       birth....if you don't know by now that a woman may not want
       children or the pain of childbirth but still desires a sexual
       relationship with her husband I don't know what to tell you.
       The text if read for comprehension clearly says NOTHING at all
       about a woman desiring her husbands authority...that is not to
       say that some don't, it just means that a rightly divided word
       is important to our understanding of the text.[/quote]
       Hi Lori.... Yes it is speaking of Child birth and the increased
       sorrows it will bring to all women having a child. However, the
       "; " after 'children' and the "and" in the next statement the
       commands of our LORD changes.
       God's judgement on the woman is that she IS TO desire her

       as it is studied using the totality of scripture to interpret
       scripture....now that does NOT mean I am advocating woman take
       over the church or even become pastors...what I am saying is
       that that teaching is no where in scripture that I can find and
       thus we dare not read into the scripture what is not there.
       For example...who did Christ choose to first preach the truth of
       his resurrection?  A man or a woman?  Telling the world about
       His resurrection is the very message of the Church and it was
       women that first took the gospel message to the men of the
       church....so how then can we claim that woman have no authority
       to teach men when Christ Himself chose woman to teach the men
       about His resurrection...?  Did Christ violate the command of
       Paul about women teaching men? [quote]
       Paul teaches the Husband in Eph 5:33.."Nevertheless let every
       one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and
       the wife see that she reverence her husband."
       Many men do not do this.[/shadow]

       You then said:"likewise in the total passage"
       "likewise" occurs 107 time in the KJV Bible. Can you be more
       specific?[/quote] see above...[quote]
       The WORD of GOD and His Commandment(s) for the woman is straight
       forward. There is no way around it. You as a woman, have a
       choice to obey His commands that were made for you specifically
       or not. [/quote]
       I choose to obey and repent when I slip up...but I obey the
       commands of God not the commands of men so if you want me to
       believe you have knowledge about this topic, prove it with
       scripture so that I can repent of being the woman of God that He
       has instructed me to be throughout the totality of scripture not
       just some proof texted passage.
       [/quote]
       [shadow=blue,left]Lori... in the end, we either have to obey
       God's commands or NOT? The woman has her commands from GOD and
       the Man has his commands from GOD.[/quote] but you have failed
       to show how your interpretation of the passage is in correct
       line with the totality of scripture. [quote]
       I might add, in the Church(body/bride) of Christ, we are one
       body. Jesus is the Head and savior as Paul states in Eph.
       5:23.."For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ
       is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body."
       some extras:
       1 Co 7:22.."Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man
       have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."
       1 Co 11:3.."But I would have you know, that the head of every
       man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the
       head of Christ is God."

       Lori..1 Tim 2:11-12.."“A woman must quietly receive instruction
       with entire submissiveness. But I do not allow a woman to teach
       or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet”   NASB95
       1 Tim 2: 11-12  "Let the woman learn in silence with all
       subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp
       authority over the man, but to be in silence."   KJV
       Paul here defines women as learners during the worship service.
       They are not to be teachers in that context, but neither are
       they to be shut out of the learning process.[sup]1[/sup]
       There have been a lot of women who have used as you have a
       different meaning of the word "quietly/silence". You Said: ".but
       to be silent...if you look at the word silent, it means a quiet
       spirit.."
       In other words, women can teach and preach as long as they have
       the proper attitude.  Is this what you mean!
       Paul's words in verse 12, implies that women wanted (desired) to
       teach and have authority (over man). We have this in today's
       church as well as women who do not want or like their GOD-given
       roles in this life.  They want authority over men and more.
       Paul took the right road and forbids Women from taking an
       authoritative teacher-pastor role in the church. He forbids
       women from exercising authority over a man[sup]1[/sup].
       The Greek word "authentein" meaning "“exercise authority over,”
       was discussed at the Atlantic District Convention (June 3-4,
       1994) requesting that the Commission on Theology and Church
       Relations address concerns related to the “terms and
       definitions” [sup]3[/sup]. Their conclusion was:
       "Though they have expanded and refined Knight‟s analysis,
       the lexical studies conducted since 1985, in the
       Commission‟s view, have strongly confirmed Knight‟s
       basic conclusion. The studies have confirmed that the term ought
       to be translated “exercise authority over.” In the
       Commission‟s view the English Standard Version accurately
       translates 1 Timothy 2:12: “I do not permit a woman to teach or
       to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain
       quiet.”  Adopted April 16, 2005..... [sup]2[/sup]
       “As in all the churches of the saints, women should remain
       silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must
       be in submission, as the Law says . . . it is disgraceful for a
       woman to speak in church” (1 Corinthians 14:33–35, NIV).
       "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all
       churches of the saints. Let your women keep silence in the
       churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they
       are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And
       if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at
       home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."   1
       Cor 14:33-35..KJV
       While Paul wrote this epistle to Timothy and to the church of
       Ephesus in general, one might interpret this command was for
       this culture/churches only.However, Yet the way Paul uses the
       word (Forbids), made it for churches of today.
       Lori... It is really up to you on which way you interpret these
       verses. I urge you to read some the references I have posted
       before you make up your mind.

       Apparently what I am saying will not be viewed in light of the
       totality of scripture, so let me ask another question....
       Who did Christ first appear to after He was resurrected?  Men or
       woman...?  What were these people told to do?  Who were they to
       teach about the resurrection of the Christ?  Why then does the
       resurrected Christ violate Paul's teaching?

       Lori, It seems I am digging myself a hole I cannot get out
       of.....
       The church Paul is speaking of to Timothy is a Brick and Mortar
       Church at Ephesus.
       **
       As for contradictions..You said in an earlier post:"Who did
       Christ first appear to after He was resurrected?  Men or
       woman...?  What were these people told to do?  Who were they to
       teach about the resurrection of the Christ?  Why then does the
       resurrected Christ violate Paul's teaching?" (a Contradiction)
       At the resurrection, The epistles of Paul were not yet written!
       **
       you said:"lol I laugh because if you knew me you would know that
       I am in trouble all the time for speaking against the feminist
       agenda...I am so contrary to the feminist agenda it's funny for
       you to warn me not to listen to them. "
       If I offended you, I apologize. It is so hard to talk about this
       subject, man to woman. I have tried several times and wind up
       every time in the same hole?
       However, even when you heard John MacArthur explanation (which
       is the same as mine) your back was up immediately against the
       wall.  Why was this... I still do not understand your
       question:"how can a woman not usurp a man's authority over him?
       She has no control over his authority to usurp it over
       anyone...?"  'another question asked who gave this authority
       over man..not man'  (paraphrased)
       And then I made a humongous mistake. To talk about Gen 3 in
       comparison on what GOD's intent for Women really was. A deeper
       hole for sure.
       So, I guess I am all out of anything to teach. Except, the
       Church Paul Spoke of in   1 Tim 2:9-15 was the church at
       Ephesus. A church of Brick and Mortar. Teaching by women is
       permitted elsewhere but not in the House of GOD.
       The Church (Body/Bride) of Jesus Christ is spiritual in nature
       and in its body, we are ONE!
       As far as the other points, I would be happy to address them .
       Please restate them and I promise to stay on topic.
