“So, while the Bible never says, “godly women who teach right doctrine are not allowed to teach men” it certainly seems to imply that there is a biblical headship and leadership that men are responsible to provide.”

It is great for women to use their gifts and teach. It is just that the Bible says that women should not do this with men present.”

The question is does the bible, in 1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 1:6, 1 Timothy 2:12, 1 Corinthians 12-14, Acts 20, 1 Peter 3:1, Eph 5:22, OR Eph 4 and 1 Co 11 really imply what Mike thinks or believes it does that is, biblical head”ship” in marriage and male leadership when christians are gathered? To Mike, it certainly seems to imply such.

It’s not great then for women to use their gifts and teach with men present but this is NOT according to what the bible SAYS because it does not say that. It is not great for women to use their gifts and teach with men present according to what Mike thinks or believes is seemingly implied by what the bible says.

In Mike’s view then, universaly women are prohibited from teaching (using their gift) with men present on the grounds of “seeming implication.”

The LAW then that forbids women from teaching with men present IS “implication that seems to exist” (which is a certainty according to Mike).
