Well said Prax.... "I do not allow a woman to teach, or to excercise authority over a man. She is to remain quiet." Yep..."translates just fine"......

And that is all beside the point, "Usurp Authority" does not mean "preaching the word". If it does then men are usurping authority all the time.

Is the Word of God inherently 'authoritative' Prax? Of course it is. When a woman takes this position of authority, she's out of her God-given place.

The point remains, if we are going to take the word of God literally without examining who it was written to, why or when..totally ignoring hermeneutics, then the bible says not to "teach"...doesn't say anything about preaching

Paul wrote it to Timothy "so that you may know how to behave yourself in the household of God, WHICH IS THE CHURCH...". The terms "teach" & "preach" are used interchangeably in the NT [much like the terms God & Father]. Jesus entered into the synagogue & began "to teach" the people...tell us Prax, was Jesus a "preacher"?

BTW we can discuss it, but how about an answer here? Braids...is it a sin? Yes or no?

Does the Bible condemn "braided hair"? Yes or No? Therein lies your answer!
