Lin,
You make some very valid points!

The fact is that one cannot find all of the “rules” against women in the bible. This is why CBMW has created a huge list of what women can and cannot do and some grey areas that even CBMW doesn’t know the answer to yet. Churches have to come to CBMW to check to see if they can use women in certain ministries because they can’t find the answers in scripture. And what used to be okay in the past is now not allowed. CBMW used to allow women to be Hebrew teachers in a seminary but now that is forbidden by scripture. Also teaching church history is now forbidden to but where did scripture change in the last few years that these two things are now forbidden when they used to be fine?

It is absolutely true that we have created a Christian Talmud in this hierarchy movement. In my opinion we have out-phariseed the Pharisees themselves!
