Limitations on a woman as it relates to ministry at home or in the congregation:

1 Timothy 2:10-12
King James Version (KJV)
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

According to Paul, women must be learners, and are not allowed to be public teachers in the church; for teaching is an office of authority, and the woman must not usurp authority over the man, but is to be in silence. But, notwithstanding this prohibition, good women may and ought to teach their children at home the principles of religion. Timothy from a child had known the holy scriptures; and who should teach him but his mother and grandmother? 2Ti 3:15. Aquila and his wife Priscilla expounded unto Apollos the way of God more perfectly; but then they did it privately, for they took him unto them, Act 18:26. Here are two very good reasons given for the man's authority over the woman, and her subjection to the man, 1Tim 2:13, 1Tim 2:14. Adam was first formed, then Eve; she was created for the man, and not the man for the woman (1Co 11:9); then she was deceived, and brought the man into the transgression

As it relates to the home, a woman is to be godly in her conduct, and learn in silence with all subjection to her husband. She isn't to teach or guide the home, that is the responsibility of "the man" (the husband). When a husband rises up to be the spiritual authority of the home, the woman (wife) should be in silence.

1Ti 5:14..  ..I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully

I am stunned you all keep saying that 1 Tim 2 refers to the women keeping silence in the home and learning with all subjection, and yet 1 Cor. 14:35 states that is where they are to ask their husbands FOR IT A SHAME FOR THEM TO SPEAK IN THE CHURCH! Obviously the exceptions are praying, prophesying and praising in the church. The prohibition is teaching and usurping authority. If you object to this it is you objecting to Bible language and your misunderstanding is with Biblical terms!.

1 Corinthians 14:33-35
King James Version (KJV)
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

God isn't the author of confusion. Therefore gatherings should be conducted decently and be in order. Women are not to be gossiping, privately discussing issues, or asking questions in the midst of the meeting. This would be a disruption. Therefore, the "women" doing this should be silent in the meetings and listen up... even if it's a woman prophesying (preaching). Should the women have any serious questions about the faith, they are not to bog down the gathering with endless questions. Rather, they are to wait and ask their husbands at home. This reinforces a husband's spiritual authority in the home (see 1 Timothy 2:10-12).

1 Timothy 3:2
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

Since a "bishop" is clearly expected to be the husband of one wife, and no accommodation for women is given, a woman cannot hold the office of bishop (pastor, overseer, elder) in the congregation. Likewise the same rule applies to the office of deacon:

1 Timothy 3:12
Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Please tell me if you agree, or share what you were taught.

Prophesying is a gift of the Spirit and is not preaching. It is impossible to preach without exercising some authority. Preaching in 2Tim.4, reproves, rebukes and exhorts.
