So how did Eve know that she could teach Adam in the garden but certainly she couldn’t teach him in the “church” because that wasn’t allowed by creation? That would mean that women’s gifts are both legal and illegal. Now we really need a Christian Talmud to find out if there are other areas where our gifts are illegal. Seems to me that this kind of thinking is illogical and brings fear lest we find ourselves sinning against a secret law that never tells women what they can and cannot do. Should it be trial and error? If a woman is struck by lightning then that activity must be illegal? How are we to know for sure? Which Christian should be the next pope that determines once and for all what is allowed for Christian women and what is not? It just doesn’t make sense.
