Mike wrote: “You do not have a passage that says, “Women should teach and exercise authority over a man,” but 1 Timothy 2:12 says, “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man….” This is huge difference in our arguments.”

Yes, and there is also a huge difference between “women” plural, in Mike’s sentence and “a woman” in the verse 1 Tim. 2:12. How convenient to change from singular to plural to bolster one’s position.

It appears that he does not understand 1 Tim 2:12 which says a woman should not ‘authenteo’ a man. The matter is, a man should not authenteo another man, either.

This whole concept is, once again, man centered, as we can see by his position. Jesus taught that we are not to want to lord it over others.
