I agree. However, let's not lose sight of an important word Paul inserted in that passage: usurp. He said a woman was not to "usurp authority over a man". That word only occurs ONCE in all of Scripture. The Greek transliteration of that word is authenteÅ and means:
I. one who with his own hands kills another or himself
II. one who acts on his own authority, autocratic
III. an absolute master
IV. to govern, exercise dominion over one
What is prohibited here is a woman, on her own authority, being a master of authority over a man, instead of a woman being in submission to male leaders and, of course, her husband.
BUT...what about the case where a woman is NOT usurping a man's authority but is teaching men by their own invitation? Do churches have guest women teachers? Would it be wrong if the men have given their permission for a woman to teach them? I don't think in this case it would. That I think is the gist of Paul's warning to Timothy.
Once again when all of scripture is taken into context and the original language consulted and put into perspective the selective use of individual verses is shown to be seeds for error. Of course the clear intent of the origin of this subject was an attempt to silence the messenger rather then address the content of the message.
