If she was merely a servant, it would make no sense for Paul to instruct others to help her in whatever she asked of them.


When I was taking Greek class the professor would constantly state, "Words mean what they do according to context." This is what you fail to see - the primary meaning of this Greek noun is simply "servant or waiter" (despite how much people scorn & sneer ) - Still need more evidence, which I'm sure you'll just ignore - again ?



Dr. A. T. Robertson, "1249 (diákonos) properly means 'to kick up dust,' as one running an errand." 1249 (diákonos) is the root of the English terms, "diaconate, deacon."

This root (diakon-) is "probably connected with the verb diōkō, 'to hasten after, pursue' (perhaps originally said of a runner)" (Vine, Unger, White, NT, 147).



Lemme' Guess - Another "mistranslation" - right ?




As for his Holy Ghost inspirations and commands, have to resorted to following his command to greet your fellow man with a holy kiss? Have you ever?



Ahhhh yes, time for the ol' "kiss" argument. Wanna' know the difference? We're not strictly forbidden to "not" greet with a holy kiss - as in "I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."


Besides, I have greeted brethren with a holy kiss in times past (& some still do!) - Your point??



Paul also instructed that men study to be quiet. Instead what I see is men telling women they should be quiet..men telling women who are not their wives! That's not biblical!

Hmmm, what Book was that we read those words - what was it - Ohhh, that's right, it was called the "Bible" ?
