Do You Believe In Women Preachers?

The above statement makes no sense could you possibly try to make that thought a bit clearer? Escape the fact? When did you present a fact that Phebe was over men? Did you glean the "fact" because Paul asks the Romans to help her? You are not making a clear case for this argument.
How do you determine that? Please explain?

To help her concerning her business as in her errands to assit. Nothing more.

Wait a minute so are you saying that we build doctrines from one Greek Lexicon? I gave you chapter and verse, and you are holding on to one Greek Lexicon's statement? That's good, that's real scary.

Oh that's good, you getting a little tired. That was uncalled for. Hey, I'm trying to have a discussion with you. You don't need to show me that you're running out of fuel by putting words into my mouth. Lighten up. Are you running out of steam? Then go study this out and come back when you have your good stuff together. Don't get nasty. I'm not doing anything wrong.

Which simply meant she helped or assited many. You are putting more into this verse than truth allows.

There are many other women who were among the apostles and Phebe was an assistant, someone who ran errands. Please prove how she was over men in a teaching capacity.

WHAT!?!? Where did you come up with that? Prove that statement.

Wonderful her's your chance to shine, prove what you said. Paul consider her a LEADER? What?

In Jesus name
