So is it sin for women to teach men in church?
Or maybe is it man’s sin to learn from women in church?
Or perhaps the real issue here in this comp view is about “the presence of men”?
“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.”
What’s the difference between a woman teaching other women and the same gifted woman teaching men also while the women and men are assembled together? Her gift is the same (gift of teaching). What she teaches the women and men is the same (correct biblical doctrine). And what the women and men hear/learn is the same doctrine coming from the same voice. So the woman’s gift (of teaching) itself is not sinful, her using the gift (teaching) is not sinful (it’s great), and what the women and men are learning (correct biblical doctrine) is not sinful, yet somehow “the presence of men” makes the situation ungodly?
