Can Women Pastor ?

[Jeffrey]

Yes Jeffrey, but there are other definitions of "permit," but it seems like he's "overreading the read" [NO, I did not "make this up]. "All Scripture is given by INSPIRATION OF GOD, AND IS PROFITABLE FOR.....INSTRUCTIONS IN RIGHTEOUSNESS....."

First of all, the above quoted Scripture is referring to the OT. That was the author's intent, was it not?

Second of all, I don't see his attempt as an "over reading," but rather an attempt to understand first and foremost the author's meaning, which takes going back to the author's setting.

No problem w/ going back to the writer's intent, but how much plainer can his intent be than, "I do not allow....."?

Try to look in later, gotta' go for now!
