@carol66944 @EkIesou @ronhenzel Totally fine if you disagree. 1Ti is about dealing with false teaching, what you call “behav[ing] badly.” If Paul is referring to all women, the singular needs to be explained away including the “she will be saved” in...

@MatneyWoodard Attacking women serving as pastors and calling them in sin is doing exactly as you describe.

@SwordMasterPub It shows that an apostle can also be an elder/overseer/pastor.

@SwordMasterPub It shows that an apostle can also be an elder/overseer/pastor. Only Peter and John self identify as elders. Are there only two elders in the New Testament?

@SwordMasterPub You have to refer to the Greek not the English. If Peter could be an elder (1 Pe 5:1) then Paul certainly can. Paul functioned as an overseer of multiple churches.
