Hi Kristen,
On the Sola Panel #6649 you said regarding 1 Tim 2:12

If Paul did in fact mean that “teach-authentein” is one unified thing (which I think means teaching in such a way as to usurp the authority of an accepted/authorized teacher before you yourself have been authorized), then it’s true that it would be wrong if men did it just as much as if women did it.

I was wondering how this view of authentien relates to how the rest of the bible doesn’t seem to speak much about authority of teachers. Cheryl and some others on this blog (if I have understood them correctly) would doubt that teachers in the church have authority over others. So if they are correct, that would mean there is no authority to be usurped. Perhaps the alternate meaning of domineer or dominate would avoid this problem? Any thoughts? Thanks.
