Your 100% correct, don't let the Liberal participants convince you otherwise.
Gods Words Are Very Clear On A Womans Role In The Church, And They Aren't Changing Anytime Soon.
Silence, Subjection, Obedience
(It Is A Shame For Women To Speak In The Church)
1 Timothy 2:11-14KJV
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
1 Corinthians 14:33-35KJV
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Is it not rather harsh - even divisive - to say that because someone quotes a scripture that happens to not fit in with - or disagrees with your stance, that they are Liberal. You are perfectly entitled to cut out whatever you like from your bible study to get your understanding of a topic, BUT there are still solid scriptures that indicate a contradiction to the way you have understood the matter - ie the context and the why and when and what Pauls intentions were in what he said and to whom he said them.
I could say God commanded in scripture to build an ark. Why are you not building an ark? The answer is obvious. God wasn't telling EVERYONE to build an ark.
Time, reason and audience matter greatly.
God commands the levite (male) priests to wear a head covering, and Samson to never cut his hair - Paul says such things must not be done and that this is a principle from the very beginning... are we really sure Paul is discrediting God and saying He commanded people to do what was by his own command unlawful? God forbid!
Paul instructs Women to cover their heads when they pray or prophesy (As Joel said they would when the Holy Spirit came)
Yet in the very same letter Paul also says women must keep silent... is he confused? Does he forget the "law" he quotes later, and then suddenly remember it a few chapters on so corrects himself? No, obviously not.
God puts a married woman in leadership over all of Israel for 40 years (Deborah - a prophet and a judge).
Paul says the LAW dictates they to be in submission....
But which law is that that God made Deborah break? Are we suggesting He make her sin!!!! Obviously not. God does not tempt anyone with Evil.
I hope that you will acknowledge it is not as black and white as you seem to be insisting, and that other scriptures are equally valid and need to be included in the understanding of topics like this.
Issues always occur if we just rip out a portion of a book, even a letter, and say THIS IS IT... which we can all do and come to totally different conclusions obviously. Presenting ANOTHER scripture on the same topic has nothing to do with being liberal.
It is done to provoke the question that needs to be asked for a clear understanding, what exactly is Paul talking about, to who and why?
Are we sure there is not a misunderstanding if we are taking one portion literally and dismissing the other as non literal when it contradicts our view?
Which portion needs the black marker running over it? Obviously neither! But there must be a rethink if we are to remain in line with the whole word of God.
