“SM – the stock answer I have heard to your question is “God set it up that way and who are we to question why God did that”

But then much of the New Covenant teaching would not apply to adult believing women. The New Covenant does not tell women specifically to go and make disciples only of other women. It does not even say that women CAN only teach other women. So, if I follow their interpretation then it would seem that women teaching other women would be sin, too.

It would also mean that the temple veil being torn in two on the Cross does not apply to adult female believers who are married. their husband is to act as their Holy Spirit and is a layer between them and their Savior since he is to act as Christ for them in the Eph 5 metaphor.

And that cannot be right. So, their interpretation has to be wrong.
