Mark,
You said:

“Are you saying that only men are allowed to “rebuke false doctrine” and that only men are to have “sound knowledge of good doctrine”?”
No i am not, i simply quoted the bible which instructs elders to do this- it is part of their responsibility.

So tell me, Mark, are women allowed to rebuke false doctrine in the church? Are they allowed to also preach and teach the good news just as Jesus originally instructed his first resurrection witnesses?

If you restrict teaching to elders and then say that elders are to rebuke false doctrine, it comes across as only elders can rebuke false doctrine. We are not talking about elders. We are talking about gifts. It is up to you to establish that God has restricted some of His gifts from being given to His female “sons”. That is the issue. I welcome you to argue that point as it will be on topic.
