Now, it would seem that if Paul really believed and taught that a woman should not teach a man, does not it make good sense that Priscilla, having him around him both day and night for one year and six months (Acts 18:1 1), would have known that it was not the perfect plan of God to have done such a "hideous" deed? Would not she have backed off and either verbally or quietly made it known to her husband that to explain the Gospel to a man was her husband's job alone?

"Aquila, go talk to him man to man. You know that is Paul's way. That's the perfect way. I'll go home and throw something in the microwave."

No, the opposite is true. Priscilla caught the true spirit of Paul, which was the true spirit of God. In Christ, there is no male or female. The cross brings equality to all. She was accustomed to ministering and working alongside her husband, and they both brought a life-changing word to him.

Later, Paul referred to them in the last chapters of Romans and I Corinthians. In Romans, he puts Priscilla first; in I Corinthians, Aquila. They evidently had an equal anointing and ability to teach, a model of husband and wife ministry. Never do we hear him saying something like, "Now church, beware. Priscilla likes to teach men. And you know I don't condone that." No, he gave her honor and recognized the validity of her ministry, even stating that all the churches of the Gentiles gave thanks for her (Rom. 16:4). He gave them equal footing with himself, calling them fellow laborers. (copied)
Priscilla and her husband did NOT teach in the synagogue. Every time you post you prove you cannot discern fundamental concepts. Again you confuse witnessing with the preaching and teaching associated with feeding God's flock. Also, you fail to recognize that Apollos was ALREADY MIGHTY in the scripture. What he needed to know was simply that Jesus was the person John pointed to. Your jumping to conclusions and wishful thinking are amazing indeed. They, like all Christians, are fellow-laborers. To make a doctrine about Priscilla's name being first is another reason why women should sit down and listen. BTW Paul did not give her equal footing with him. He was an apostle she most definitely was NOT!

A lot of people were grateful for Tabitha as well (Acts 9 you should read that) but that does not mean she was an apostle and on equal footing with Paul or Peter. Good grief. The complete lack of basic hermeneutics is why women should not be allowed in a pulpit.
