Homosexuality was defined by God as a sin (punishable by death even).
Women teaching men, however, is not described as a sin. The most you could selectively lift from the New Testament only (contrary to 1 Cor. 14:34-35) is that it is disgraceful. Sounds more like a cultural thing to me.
The most that will happen is that we will once again have women like Pheobe, Prophetess Ana, Junia, Pricilla, the four daughters of Philip in Acts, Huldah, Deborah, Miriam (Micah 6:4 — “4 I brought you up out of Egypt and redeemed you from the land of slavery. I sent Moses to lead you, also Aaron and Miriam.”), and many others that I am forgetting off the top of my head or who were not named. If they weren’t punished or reprimanded for leading/prophesying to men nor were the men for listening, I don’t think we have much to worry about by following the example of those women now. So where’s the slippery slope again?
‘Nuff said.
