Ezra the scribe stood at a wooden podium which they had made for the purpose.



And there are many-many more where that came from ! Now, please provide the reference where a woman did the same:_________?



Go play - you don't know what you're doing - & you just demonstrated this once again !

Actually, you need to go back to the nursery. It is amazing to see that a man who makes his living preaching the Word of God doesn't know the difference between a prophet, a priest and a scribe.

[Praxeas]

2:12 teach or to exercise authority over a man The closest parallel to this instruction appears in 1 Cor 14:34–35. The context there is the church’s public gatherings. The teaching role in public settings was traditionally assigned to males in Jewish and Graeco-Roman culture. The practical implications of Paul’s statement depend on the interpretive option chosen for this part of Paul’s letter (see note on vv. 11–15).

This statement can be understood as presenting two prohibitions: A woman cannot teach or exercise authority over a man. If so, Paul presents two independent but related commands. The verse can also be read as a single prohibition (i.e., not to teach) followed by an explanation (i.e., not to exercise authority). This interpretation, based on the syntax and combination of specific Greek verbs, results in “I do not permit a woman to teach so as to exercise authority over a man.” The essence of Paul’s teaching is the same with either option. Paul’s main concern was the church’s ability to minister effectively without appearing to disregard cultural traditions, which would alienate the general population.

LOL - Though not technically a "prophet" - Ezra is often referred to as a "prophet" within academia. Here's an very in-depth thesis on Ezra - & he's listed as a "prophet": http://www.ibiblio.org/freebiblecomm...EN/VOL08OT.pdf & Here: http://www.amazon.com/Ezra-Prophet-P.../dp/B004HO5JLA



In fact, Ezra is often compared to the prophet Moses within Judaism: http://www.jewishhistory.org/ezra-and-nehemiah/



Still, the point remains fully in-tact that you will never produce a passage where a woman expounds from Scripture to a congregation of any sort !



Sorry, try again !

And one more small detail from scripture: there aren't any records of prophets preaching/teaching from the Word of God to a congregation.

This is the fallacy of arguing from silence.

But that is the argument that continues to be presented from the other side of the discussion, with the repeated asking for instances in scripture where women 'expounded from a text of scripture'. Make up your minds, gentlemen, stop trying to have it both ways.

We're simply asking you to corroborate your views with the Scriptures - which we CAN & HAVE done for our doctrinal position in this area (only to be ignored of course !)


Of course, since this is AFF - so we should know better than to ask for Scriptural support of your views !

Seriously??? You don't think the Elders of the church fed the church by preaching from the scriptures??? The Elders were men BTW. The reason the question is asked is because it is known that there are none. That is the point but I think you knew that already.

And prophecy has never been - nor will it ever be - a sermon from the Scriptures....& that is the difference!
