Under Much Grace,

I too would like to have the answers to your questions. It seems like John MacArthur has taken the concepts that hierarchists teach and he has gone even more to the extreme view than many others have run with the “rules”. For example most seminaries will teach women. A woman can learn at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. In fact their web site says that there are 23% women enrolled at the seminary. However at John MacArthur’s Seminary women are forbidden from attending. Although John MacArthur holds to 1 Timothy 2:11 where he says that Paul commands women to learn, he refuses to allow them to learn in HIS seminary. I guess he is enforcing the first clip you can hear in my blog article above. He is saying that women are to learn from their husbands. If their husbands aren’t interested in teaching them, then I guess they don’t learn. Is this really scriptural? No, not at all.
