Mark,
“At least be fair to what they actually say! I do think it is ok for women to co lead for example a bible study with their husband in private. I do think it is ok for a woman to be involved in evangelism. I do not think it is ok for a woman to lead the church and have the spiritual oversight of it. Nor do i think it is ok for a woman to expound the scriptures to a mixed congregation of believers. The context of 1 Tim illustrates why this is related to public congregational setting.”
But you are missing Dave’s point. Please show us in scripture where “in private” is located? And the number of people allowed in attendance before it is considered “a mixed congregation”? 10? 15? 30?
Brother, you know there are no rules like this in the Bible. Any rules and guidelines like that are made up by people who draw the lines where they wish. I’d really like to know the last time you were in a mixed congregation of ONLY believers? Tell me, how did you know with absolute certainty that everyone in that congregation was a believer? You read minds? Read hearts? You know Elders who do? C’mon now, Mark?
