So, in your opinion, if there are no men willing to teach, there should be no teaching at all. That's a recipie for the dumbing down of the church if I ever saw one.
Have you forgotten that Scripture tells us that Priscilla and Aquila taught Apollo the gospel of Jesus? The fact that Priscilla is mentioned first tells us she probably was the main teacher. If you have a problem with women ever teaching for any reason, you have a problem with scripture.

That's not my opinion, it seems to be God's.
"Have you forgotten that Scripture tells us that Priscilla and Aquila taught Apollo the gospel of Jesus? The fact that Priscilla is mentioned first tells us she probably was the main teacher."
Are Priscilla and Aquila then going to hell for teaching scripture to Jesus?
"If you have a problem with women ever teaching for any reason, you have a problem with scripture."
I have no problem with women teaching anything they are qualified to teach. That includes scripture. But you are avoiding my point. The Bible makes it clear women are not to to teach men about scripture. It makes no exceptions, why are exceptions being allowed due to convenience or even necessity?

I agree.
It is interesting that of the 4 & 20 Elders mentioned in Revelation . . . not one is a woman.
God is clearly Masculine in a list of ways and names. Yet Holy Spirit, while masculine is also Comforting.
Yet, we have Ruth, Queen Esther, Pricilla and Acquilla etc.
I don't think God intended us to get our undies in a wad over any of this.
