Craig,

If you accept that 1 Tim 2:12 is ‘false teaching’, can you tell me from the text what exactly was false. In other words what content of the teaching is ‘false’? Can you show me that from the text?

To say it is just ‘false teaching’ is to miss what i have said. In Rev 2:20 there are qualifiers to tell us what is ‘false’ about it…e.g “to practice sexual immorality and eat food sacrificed to idols”.
