We are talking about "interpreting" Scripture. Remember that?

Yea', such as "I do not allow a woamn to teach, or to excercise authority over a man."....Remember that?

There is no meaning without context. Ask the translators what they used.

Ughhh, the translators used the existing Greek manuscripts. From there, they employed Greek grammatical rules, context, etc. Where did I ever say that context is irrelevant? Indeed, I appeal to Scriptural context repeatedly since word definitions & syntax mean what they do accordingly. But, context is doctrinal [particulary the passages at hand]....and not ALWAYS culturally relevant, though culture can certainly flow into it, yet I would stop short of saying that culture has the ability to render a doctrinal passage inapplicable.

This is about the 5th time that I've explained this to you & yet you just kep hurling out insults...which reveals your "Christian" spirit????? I've repeatedly told you that I care less about your ad hominem [do I need to explain this one to you also?] attacks, but rather just the text.

So, my dear Watson, back to the texts of I Tim. 2. I'm willing to listen if you have something textually relevant to say. Otherwise, if you just keep up w/ your usual pomp, I'll simply start ignoring you.
