Gal 3:27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
Gal 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
1Co 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
1Co 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
Mat 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
1Co 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying.
1Co 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.

1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Luk 17:20 And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation:
Luk 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
When a person receives the Holy Spirit the kingdom of God is within them, and they are in the Lord.
Women do not have to take a back seat to men here, and keep silence, and worry about being out of line concerning debating with men, no matter how much debating goes on, for in the Lord a man and a woman are equal.
The only thing that separates a man and a woman is the flesh, the spirit and soul are the same, and when they belong to the kingdom of God the flesh does not matter for it is spiritual, and they will put off the flesh and be like the angels in heaven, which the angels have no gender, and contrary to what some people believe there is no female angels, for there is no gender among them, but they are known by masculine names for they are greater than people until they receive their glorified body, then the saints are greater than the angels, and the saints do not have any gender in heaven, which is why Jesus said they do not marry in heaven.
And who says a man will know more than a woman concerning the word of God, for He does not give the preacher more wisdom than a common pew sitter, for He gives to all who ask Him the same amount of knowledge, and wisdom in His word, and we need not that any man teach us but the Spirit will teach us when we come across the word of God, whether by someone, or reading the word of God.
When the saints come together to worship God, and hear the word of God, all the saints are on an equal level, with the exception of the preacher for they are the one in charge, and direct the service.
The preacher has the floor and in charge, and when he is done saying what he will say, and directing the service, then he will turn it over to the saints, and they can further the service by all pitching in to edify one another, for the service is better, and they learn more, and are edified more, if all the saints pitch in then being directed by one person.
The preacher is in charge, and all the rest of the saints are on an equal level for they are in the Lord, and in the Lord there is no male or female, but they are one, and on an equal level.
The Bible says in a certain place that women should keep silent in Church, but they must of had a problem in that Church of the women disrupting the service when the preacher had the floor, and in charge, but when the preacher is in charge then the men also have to be quiet.
How can women be silent in Church, for will they not sing, and praise the Lord, and give testimonies, so they must of had a problem with the women disrupting the preacher, or Paul is only stating do not interrupt the preacher.
For when the preacher gives the service over to the saints then both men and women can pitch in and edify each other.
I believe a man should take the lead when the saints come together to worship God, and hear the word of God, as per the authority structure of God concerning the Church, but everybody else is on an equal level in the congregation, and the men not above the women for they are equal in the Lord.
Here on this forum, and in the street, and in their home, and at work, they can debate with the men as if it is a man debating with a man, and even in the Church as long as they do not interrupt the preacher when he is speaking and has the floor.
Gender, smender, for that should not matter here, or anywhere else, even the Church, and women can even debate with the preacher if he wants to hear it like in his office, or a home.
How do men get more wisdom than women, that the women should always listen to men for the women cannot compare to their wisdom, when God gives everybody the same amount of knowledge, and wisdom, regardless of gender, so women might know more about certain subjects than the men, and shall they be quiet and we miss out.
To say that women should not debate with men if it gets in to a dragged out, heated debate, is like saying the men always have the greatest knowledge, and the women fail in comparison to their awesome wisdom of the word of God, so the women should shut up for what can you learn from them if they cannot attain to the great knowledge of the men.
But we know that is not true for God gives the same knowledge, and wisdom, to all people regardless of gender, and the men do not have authority above the women here, or anywhere, and only the preacher does when the congregation comes together, and only that one man, but a woman is still equal to him, but the preacher is in charge.
I do not see how it is stepping on any men's toes if the women debate with men, no matter how heated the debate gets.
