Women may witness to men outside of the church as per Acts 18:26: When Priscilla and Aquila heard **HIM**, they invited *HIM* to their home and {THEY-plural} explained to him the way of God more adequately."

The following Scriptures are the inspired words of God:



I Timothy 2:11: A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, she must be silent.



I Cor 14:33-35: "In *ALL* the congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.



However women may witness to men outside of the church as per Acts 18:26: When Priscilla and Aquila heard **him**, they invited *him* to their home and {THEY-plural} explained to him the way of God more adequately."



Since boys do do become "men" in God's Word until they are 12 years old I believe a woman can teach boys 11 years and under in Sunday School.



Women may also teach other women of all ages in Sunday School or in women's only services with boys under 12 present. {See Titus 2:3-5}



I would not consider this Open Forum for all beliefs; to be a "CHURCH"; and since there are women in this forum it is certainly permissable for women to teach God's Word here to other women. If a man doesn't believe a women can teach on this forum since there are men here then he doesn't have to read the women's posts.



Women may not be overseers, deacons or elders as per I Timothy 3:2,8 & Titus 1:6



Read Proverbs 31:10-31 and I Peter 3:1-6.

If only Aquila explained to *HIM* the way God more adequately then Acts 18:26 would have read: When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they invited *HIM* to their home and {Aquila} explained to *HIM* the way of God more adequately!!

That's your own conclusion. The verse does not explicitly state that one way or the other. She may have merely born witness that what her husband was teaching him was true.



...... In the mouths of 2 or 3 witnesses..........

Further, the word "church" is ekklesia. Ekklesia is a gathering or a calling out - an assembling together. These forums definitely fit the definition of a virtual ekklesia.



Besides that, you are totally missing the principles that are being communicated in all of these passages. Where does the Bible grant to a woman the right to publicly teach/school a man on doctrine? It does NOT. However, there are definitely principles taught in the Scripture that forbid such action.



Why try to find grey areas or split hairs over the principles that are asserted concerning these principles? Instead, why not err on the side of obedience to God's commands and principles?

Why hold to double standards? Why be double minded? The Bible is clear on that.

Why try to make a public discussion forum into something it is not?

According to God's inspired Word *BOTH* Priscilla and Aquila **EXPLAINED** to *HIM* the way of God more adequately in Acts 18:26 above.

Teach other women? So be it. However, there are still qualifications to that also. Teach men? No. Yet, you see a few here who make a point of doing this over and over.



The bottom line is that we live in an age of pervasive feminism. There are many in Christendom who are perverting the Word to fit the culture instead of demanding that the culture submit itself to God and His Word.

There is no one making you read any post except yourself. You are trying to turn this public dating site into something it is not. You are trying set a separate set of standards for people who do not agree with you.

You seem to be the only one that is struggling with the concept that this site is for men and women to meet and share their thoughts. You have often interjected in threads that were started by women as well as posted remarks to women who were addressing someone other than you.

It's very doubtful that you will ever represent things truthfully. How many times have I shown that now, too?

I don't struggle with the concept of this site at all. Are we not called to live in accordance with the principles set forth in the Word of God? As usual, your argument is completely missing the point. You argue that it's fine to violate the clear teaching of the Word b/c you believe that some HTML and Java script give you permission? :laugh: That's totally ridiculous.
