Hi Mark,

I would like to add some questions to Cheryl’s.

If it is appropriate for women to teach men “at different times and in different ways”, but not teach men in “the church”, then how are women and men supposed to figure out what those different times and ways are? Where is the scriptural “guide” that says when, where, and how it is ok for women to teach men?

Also, what do you think it is about “the church” that would make Paul designate it off limits for women to use their teaching gifts? What are the unique “when’s”, “where’s”, and “how’s” that set “the church” apart? And why do those “when’s”, “where’s”, and “how’s” disqualify women from using their gifts when other “when’s”, “where’s”, and “how’s” qualify them? And, to tie in the first question yet again, where does scripture outline all of this?
