“Lin says that comps have a talmud? If this is the case why are there so many varying egal interpretations of passages. I am yet to see a consistent interpretation.”

We “discuss” interpretations. However, we do not have masses of articles defining roles, rules, etc for the genders FROM those interpretations.

Each one just brings more questions. Some comps/pats think women cannot teach men at all. Some think they can but not if they are standing on a stage or behind a pulpit. Some think women on a video is ok but not in person. But no one has yet, to my knowledge, said at what age a boy becomes a man so some poor women will not accidently sin by teaching him.

Those Talmudic rules.

Piper even says that women should be careful about giving men directions. he says it would be ok for her to design traffic patterns because she is not directing men. But it is NOT ok for her directly to instruct men on driving, etc.

There is even an article over at CBMW that suggests men will have authority over women in HEAVEN! I kid you not. This is about as Mormonistic as one can get. (And wishful thinking :o)

Those Talmudic rules are the ones I am speaking of and like the REAL Talmud have NOTHING to do with scripture. I can remember being exhausted trying to keep up with all of it. So glad to have found freedom from their oral law in Christ!
