Trust you Tommy hahahhaha !
Oh good, we are having fun! So, I am going to bring this back to on topic!
10 Reasons Why Men Should not be allowed to preach, teach or be ordained!
10. A man’s place is in the army.
9. The pastoral duties of men who have children might distract them from the responsibility of being a parent.
8. The physique of men indicates that they are more suited to such tasks as chopping down trees and wrestling mountain lions. It would be “unnatural” for them to do ministerial tasks.
7. Man was created before woman, obviously as a prototype. Thus, they represent an experiment rather than the crowning achievement of creation.
6. Men are too emotional to be priests or pastors. Their conduct at football and basketball games demonstrates this.
5. Some men are handsome, and this will distract women worshipers.
4. Pastors need to nurture their congregations. But this is not a traditional male role. Throughout history, women have been recognized as not only more skilled than men at nurturing, but also more fervently attracted to it. This makes them the obvious choice for ordination.
3. Men are prone to violence. No really masculine man wants to settle disputes except by fighting about them. Thus they would be poor role models as well as dangerously unstable in positions of leadership.
2. The New Testament tells us that Jesus was betrayed by a man. His lack of faith and ensuing punishment remind us of the subordinated position that all men should take.
1. Men can still be involved in church activities, even without being ordained. They can sweep sidewalks, repair the church roof, and perhaps even lead the song service on Father’s Day. By confining themselves to such traditional male roles, they can still be vitally important in the life of the church.

I do regret the post that I made and it was in haste. Angela had previously posted a huge amount of information in a single post and followed it up with one equally as large when the argument she makes is already on the internet and a link to the appropriate site would have been sufficient.
I made it quite clear that I wrote all the stuff with the Greek. That's because I am an advanced student of Greek. I used Bauer (BDAG 3rd Edition), The New Linguistic and Exegetical Key to the Greek New Testament, by Rogers Jr and Rogers III, and quite a few commentaries, both for and against women being allowed to preach and teach, (I can list all the books), and numerous translations of the Bible. The only internet source I used for my posts, was Biblegateway.com, to check how different versions translated the same words.
If I could find your post, I would report it.
You have no right to say I copied and pasted it, except from myself. It is quite easy to put parts of what I wrote into a google search, to see if I stole it elsewhere. Of course, I did not! Ok, sometimes I copy and paste and put my own material back. Like in this example below!
So, I did a google search of this paragraph in this thread:
#366
Here is what I came up with in a google search from July 29, 2013
http://christianchat.com/bible-discussion-forum/69869-what-do-i-do-verse-2-print.html?pp=40
That's the ONLY place where the words in my paragraph in this thread are also found in google.
And this demonstrates again, why certain arrogant and uneducated men, should never be allowed to preach or teach. Because they do not understand that women are just as capable at looking closely at Scripture as they are, plus, I have the personal advantage of a superior education, research and training than you do.
Schmuck!
