Ho-Hum, where to begin.
You again post in a way that I don't know how to respond to each post, though I'd love to. Forgive my computer illiteracy.
I did catch your statement implying that women preachers was never an apologetical issue in Christian circles. I almost fell out of my chair when I read this! Good grief, this issue has been debated for eons...yet you imply that it's "never been an apologetical issue"??????????? Seriously, you're just sinking further & further unbeknownst to you.
Context is the topic/subject matter at hand. Are you denying this? Yes [for about the 7th time now...Ho-Hum???] culture/history can flow into context, but it does not render said passage inapplicable to the church. Scorn it all day long, makes noooo difference to me. You apparently aren't the "apologist/scholar" you would have everyone believe on here. In sum, "Ain't fallin' for it!"
Forced to run, library closing. Brifly scanned your post regarding exegesis. My response: AND??? I've never denied this [let's see this makes probably about 8 times I've said...wierd???]..........so, back to the text.
Look, we'll not agree on hermeneutics, so how about we just stick to the actual text of
I Tim. 2, for starters. Try to respond sometime Thurs.
