What does 1 Sam. say about attendants? No comment on your part?

Is says that they were attending at the door of the tabernacle.

No women, married, virgins or otherwise

See evidence that it is not so, presented by Marshall, specifically, Exodus 38:8 and 1 Samuel 2:22.

The books of Numbers and Samuel provide far more reliable information then the uninspired Talmud

And Exodus, which supports Dr. Marshall's claim. The Talmud, or any Jewish tradition, of course, would have no bearing oin a Christian theological discussion, but in an historical discussion such as ours all historical evidence is important, not just scriptural.

you are not in the least familiar with Jewish tradition beyond what is said on someone’s blog

Which should be enough since Dr. Marshall provides specific quotes, several in number.

there's no acknowledgment of what it indicates

What did you post and I did not acknowledge? I am not one running away from concrete textual evidence; you are.

Is my English faulty or not clear and simple enough so that my meaning somehow wasn't abundantly obvious?

“Here's the thing I object most to in our discussion,

It appears to me to me you are not in the least familiar with Jewish tradition beyond what is said on someone’s blog yet you make statements like this:

“Any role that a woman plays in a traditional society is either serving her husband or be not married, and therefore, a virgin.”

So good day and thanks but I really don't need any more regurgitations of Marshall's speculations. Understand now?
