Are you agreeing or disagreeing with the original article by Sharon Clark Pearson? Stedman seems to be disagreeing with the basic thesis.
My point in posting this article was NOT to agree with it, but to examine the evidence within it.
I have always tended in Stedman's direction, with the provision that there is fair evidence for deaconesses. I also think that 1 Tim 2 speaks to something very specific on Paul's mind, because of daughters who prophesy, women who pray, etc. Whatever this verse means, it does not mean ABSOLUTE silence.
However, I've not seen many of the posters engaging this lady's data. Some of her data is useful in other contexts besides this one.
