I would have thought that an exegesis based on one’s own un supported grammtical interpretation would be a hole to begin with…a major hole.

Unsupported? No true at all but seems to be your wishful thinking. Did you seriously not read the post on the anaphoric? http://strivetoenter.com/wim/2010/08/03/a-woman-anaphoric/ You made no comment on it. Now try to suggest that it is unsupported.

However, in the future we may uncover new documents which show a decieved false teacher existed in Ephesus which would the help validate your interpretation.

Chapter one has Paul showing that there were many deceive false teachers in Ephesus. What we would need to uncover for your interpretation would be documents that shows that a true teacher teaching the truth of God’s word was ever silenced by Paul. That certainly would validate your interpretation, don’t you think? Why is there no evidence of such a silencing of the truth?

But as for now in 2010, i’m very hesitant to accept this interpretation which is based solely on your own assumptions and greek interpretation.

I believe that you are very hesitant to accept my exegesis because you love having a special position as a man and you would rather see the silencing of the truth of God’s word by a true and godly teacher who is a woman rather than have your special position shared with women.

Can i ask if any other scholars have recognised your interpretation as possible, either egalitarian or comp. Only if you feel comfortable sharing.

Dr. Jon Zens is a huge supporter of my work and he sells my DVDs in his bookstore. Dr. Daniel Wallace also has my DVDs and has not pointed out the flaws in my argument and it is he that has written about the anaphoric grammar which I quoted in my last article. His own work proves that an indefinite noun should be taken as definite in certain circumstances.

Dr. Scott Heine is a comp who found my arguments to be very persuasive and who gave me a very high recommendation on my DVDs. He did not correct the grammar either that I used. Dr. James Willingham is also a huge supporter or my work and has asked permission to write the forward of my book. He has five or six doctorate degrees if I remember right. Dr. B A. Di Gilio is also a supporter of my work and there are several others with doctorate degrees which escape my memory right now. For all of those who are reading this, please forgive me for failing to remember all of you.

As far as the supportive pastors, I wouldn’t even try to name them all. There are far too many.
