It is hard to believe that you can’t see that you are clearly starting with your desired conclusion (i.e. that women should teach in church and be able to become pastors and elders) and twisting scripture to support your preconceived belief. Matt is right and you are wrong. The fact that he has 2000 years of theological scholarship to back him up puts the burden of proof on you. You have not met that burden and I hope you will repent of your errant beliefs.

First off: I came from a JW background who teachings that women can’t teach etc. When I found out Jesus was Fully God etc, I said what if they are wrong also on this womens issue. So after about a year after I accepted Christ, The Holy Spirit moved me to check it out. I was reading up on women of the bible one day as a study, yet in the Church I go to… I didn’t see there examples lived out???Then I found out the church I go to, view on women! This is wrong, I looked at the 1st Cent. Church of the Bible and looked at my church and found 2 totally different ways! After much Questioning,Studying, Praying, Thating ALL of scripture in view from The glasses of the Holy Spirit etc.I found the answer to the womens issue. They CAN teach an LEAD! The example of our dear Lord and how He treated Woman/Women is what sealed the deal for me as well as undestanding Paul an the way he teaches!

I hope my journey can somehow help you & others. God Bless
