1 Timothy 2:11,12 — “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.”

1 Corinthians 14:34,35 — “Let your women keep silence in the churches (assemblies): for it is not permitted for them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.”

There are a lot things that appear in the Bible (rape, murder, adultery, etc). That doesn’t mean God approves of them, especially when the Bible clearly condemns such practice. And when men (like Paul) moved by the Holy Spirit speak, we should listen. Women should be silent in assemblies. Women should not usurp authority over men. And these doctrines should not be dismissed as cultural aberrations. Hebrews (9:8-10) is very clear which OT practices are no longer in effect.

It is blasphemous to call any man “Rabbi”. (Matthew 23:8-11)

Weak and disobedient men breed apostasy. These “Jezebels” creep in and seduce Christ’s servants (Revelation 2:19-23).

let me toss this one into the mix ~ it will make everything clear: "<< Romans 16 >> English Standard Version Personal Greetings 1I commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant (Footnotes: a 1 Or deaconess) of the church at Cenchreae, 2that you may welcome her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints, and help her in whatever she may need from you, for she has been a patron of many and of myself as well."
