Do You Believe In Women Preachers?

Now, what if it can only be shown that it is highly likely that Junia was a woman that was deemed by Paul to be an apostle. Should someone take the very unlikely position that she was not a woman who was deemed by Paul to be an apostle just because it seems likely that 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy ban women preachers?

I don't have an answer... but this question is more a question about the proper process of biblical interpretation when we are dealing with ambiguous passages.

Junia is a 3rd declencion MASCULINE [not feminine] noun. BAGD says there's no way it can proved either way. Regardless, it says this person was "of note" among the apostles. The definite article is used indicating the 12 apostles. Soooooo, where was Junia in Acts 1????????????? This is all so silly! Why don't you just believe the Bible? "I do NOT allow a woman to teach.....".
