I brought a Mormon pilot who I was flying with to Christ and his family as well. Was I wrong? I wasn't supposed to teach him true Biblical scripture?
And tell me where I ever said otherwise. I did not. The discussion here is about the missionary movement which shares the Gospel. aka the l Scriptures.
I did not write a commentary on the history of flying planes. So if a women wants to teach someone how to fly a plane, Fine, because God has no opinion on it, and Paul never wrote any apologetical letters on flying planes, nor did he even care about who would teach others how to fly a plane, cook a steak, or how to make purple dye.
The whole idea of this discussion is so far away from what I ever wrote it is ludicrous for me to comment on your opinion any longer.
And finally. I do realize that God used Priscilla to correct Apollos on some errant ideas he had. Yet she was not preaching to him, she shared the truth with him which was no where near being the head of a church, or teaching adult men.
Everything else outside the requirements of sharing the Scriptures is of the World, not of GOD, and of that I try to separate from my commentaries of the Scriptures, unless the World involves itself in the matters of God as Satan is often times wanting to do.
“Was I wrong? I wasn’t supposed to teach him true Biblical scripture?”
You did the right thing. Clearly.
I agree with the article you posted, and your and your church’s approach seem reasonable. You have to follow your conscience also.
Paul points out that there is something especially persuasive about a woman with a meek and quiet spirit. God attributes great value to these qualities, especially in women. People can be won without words. And this applies to men using something other than mere words also.
However, the prohibition against women teaching is primarily about wives usurping their own husbands’ authority.
The early church met somewhat differently than we do today. Part of the order of meetings was similar to how our legislative bodies meet. It was not just gathering for a lecture (sermon). Often, decisions needed to be reached. It was the responsibility of leadership to facilitate consensus and agreement, not just on doctrine but also on action as a church.
Men participated and represented their own families. I’m sure leadership also took into account if there were ever cases where women and children were not directly represented by a believing husband/father. We see special instruction and attention given to caring for widows in the church.
