This is about the 5th time that I've explained this to you & yet you just kep hurling out insults...which reveals your "Christian" spirit????? I've repeatedly told you that I care less about your ad hominem [do I need to explain this one to you also?] attacks, but rather just the text.
So, my dear Watson, back to the texts of I Tim. 2. I'm willing to listen if you have something textually relevant to say. Otherwise, if you just keep up w/ your usual pomp, I'll simply start ignoring you.

I give. You won't be honest enough to say you are flying by the seat of your pants on your limited knowledge of hermeneutics and the more you respond the more ignorant you sound.
Context is doctrinal? I about spit my water out of my nose. Context is neutral, it is the framework behind the so-called "literal text" and it gives the text meaning. A word changes according to its context. It also helps us understand authorial intent. You are awkwardly pitting exegetical context against literary, syntactical context. I have no idea why.
Trinitarian? Calvnist? Non-Christian Spirit? (Have you read a thing you've said to others on here. Not exactly God come in humble flesh material).
I think I've engaged you more than most on here. We took a tangent because when cocky people start spouting out things (especially posers), it's cynically fun to exploit that. You, my dear "Watson," have been exploited
To the subject at hand - the question is to wonder if Paul was reinforcing an already-existent universal prohibition against women teachers, creating a new one, or determine what situation he was responding to (the complex nature of epistles).
