I posted the definition from Vines, which states that she was set over people, not just women. Your position is that a woman preacher can't preach to men because she would be in authority over them, and that's a bad thing, right? But the definition was posted by me already. I'm not doing it again when you can go back and look at it.
Phoebe was set over others by Paul. Paul instructed MEN to obey her (perhaps because men like yourself were present).
Show me the link where 'succourer' is a 'patroness' or 'protector'. The Vines says no such thing, not even close. Paul said she was a succourer of many, including himself. Why would Paul need her to protect him, as you claim the definition to be??
