Now, I find 43 references in the NT to PREACHING and each time.. there is either a mans name there or a reference to MEN.... NOT ONCE is there a reference to women...

So if God is sooo for this idea of women preaching why isnt that word PREACH joined to at least ONE WOMAN in Holy Scripture?
the word preach simply means to proclaim. So if we are going to be literalists women can't proclaim to their neighbors, even other women that Jesus is Lord that they need to be saved?

What about teaching? Priscilla and Aquila both taught Apollos the way of the Lord.

I think the reason we don't see women doing things as much is because women were considered inferior submissive child bearers. That was their culture. Women didn't even attend schools. The men went to learn the bible and came home and taught the wives
