Paula, you make excellent points. I had not thought of the fact that if Titus is used to say women can only teach women, then correspondingly, men can only teach men. The comps I know would say that this verse has to subordinate itself to the passage elsewhere which says a woman is not permitted to teach a man or be in authority over him. Of course, we know there is more to that verse than they allow, but that is how they would justify the Titus dilemma.

You know, of course, that I disagree. I just point it out because it is a line of response they take. I wonder, was the Titus passage written before or after the other passage? Even so, they would still find a way to say the earlier passage is subordinate to the later passage. Where’s a hammer? I feel a real urge to try to nail some jello to a wall somewhere….!
