Now we're getting somewhere! Proper hermeneutics neccessitates that we go to Scriptures that explicitly address a given topic for the express reason of addressing it [such as women in the ministry in I Tim. 2 & I Cor. 14]. Then, we're to find passages that the same subject flows into implicitly [I Cor. 11, Rom. 16, etc., since Paul is specifically addressing women's role's in the church] & harmonize them together.

Here's the catch: The implicit NEVER overrides the explicit teachings....this is exactly the hermeneutical flaw of women preacher advocates.
