One of the problems I have with "legitimate" bible scholars is that they twist and spin in all sorts of uncomfortable ways in order to deny what the black words on the white page say.
I guess you've never read solid bible commentaries then...there are plenty. While there certainly are poor, manipulative, dishonest Bible scholars--there are many who are terrific. What sounds odd in an English translation--isn't so odd in Greek. It isn't un-Christian or un-Conservative to really study the bible--relying on the good, not the trashy, scholarship.
I gave you a solid, easy to understand argument already too--Paul explains salvation in many places--and ALWAYS its the same for men and women. It's just plain silly to imagine suddenly, as an aside, he's saying women gain salvation by having babies--rather than believing and following Christ.
In this passage Paul isn't explaining salvation anyway--he's talking about leadership in the Church...
Not a very complicated passage to understand--in its plain meaning, unless, you want to be confused.
