You’ve misinterpreted the scripture verse where “women are to be quiet in church”. The first occasion of women preaching is Dorcas. This is a good explanation of what was going on in the church Paul was addressing:https://www.cbeinternational.org/resource/article/priscilla-papers-academic-journal/does-1-timothy-2-prohibit-women-teaching-leading

NO, that is not the Scripture I refer to. this is the one.

And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.
Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.
1 Timothy 2:12-15


Now, women can teach, but not men. As I stated in my commentary though, when men abdicate their responsibility women often times must step up. However, if they are teaching men on a Missionary, because no males are there to do so, once a qualified male teacher comes, she must step aside.

Women can teach other women, and children. However, she should also not be teaching older boys. They should have a male teacher. Thus the reason men are always Teen youth leaders in church.

Do not take offense, I just follow the Scriptures.

One thing I do agree with you on. We do not need a degree from any man’s institution to teach, all we need is for the Holy Spirit to move us to learn and. go forward. It helps, because then you get good tutoring, but many a great teacher has been trained by God through the Holy Spirit.

I am one. I audited classes at a Seminary school, but never attained a degree. Most of what I know was taught to me through the years of hard self study and from good teachers I have listened to through the years.

I have studied the ancient teachers and taught myself to be able to read and understand some Koinonia Greek, and can decipher some Hebrew.

I think there are many good female teachers, but God set the order, not men. We must follow His guidance, and as long as we do He will bless what we do.
