Cheryl, Notice also the 2nd witness God provides to Rev. 2:20. We read in Acts 15:28-29 that so long as we abstain from food offered to idols, blood, strangled livestock, and illicit sex, we are doing well in our Christian walks. But that’s not all. We are assured in verse 28 that the Holy Spirit lays no other burden (Greek word is epanagkes, meaning “essentials”) on us other than these. What exhilarating emancipation and liberty! No wonder the eminent scholar E.W. Bullinger could in all good conscience write in his introductory notes on 1 Tim.: “To Timothy were given the earliest instructions for orderly arrangement in the church, these instructions being of the simplest nature, and as Dean Alford well observes with regard to the Pastoral Epistles as a whole, the directions given “are altogether of an ethical, not of an hierarchical kind”. These directions afford no warrant whatever for the widespread organizations of the “churches” as carried on today.” (From: The Companion Bible p-1799).
Regardless of what Bullinger and Alford say, scripture interprets scripture and as you’ve pointed out, even the locally surrounding context (data) does not support the prohibition of Godly women teaching Orthodox Biblical Doctrine to men.
