Moreover, in a practical sense, church records from the 1st century are so scanty [outside of the canon] that it's very hard to state anything in concrete terms regarding eclessiology. Thus, history/culture are not to be used as interprative lenses to the literal text. Apparently you deny this. I'd say, you're the one who needs to quit "posing" around here!
What am I reading into it? Re-read your comments. Now your back-pedaling. You said exegeting. That's not exclusive to language and syntax, nor is that the lone tool used to exegete the texts on women pastors. Why would you even suggest that?
And the bolded part, you just lost your badge as adjunct AFF scholar. No posing here. I'll ask again: what's your training in hermeneutics? You are being called on the carpet. Just admit your throwing words out that you don't understand. Your argument is still a good one without the posing.
