The question is if the Bible says "all writings God breathed" and it is translated "all scripture is God breathed" and Jesus says in Matthew 4:4 to live by every word of God then why should I accept 20% or less?
So if you say that Christians are to be more in Christ then aren't you making a doctrine? And how do you be more like Christ if you don't know who He is if you don't want to follow the word?

1 Timothy 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
If the wife leads or she doesn't listen then the Husband can't lead.
lit., "to stand before," hence "to lead, to direct, attend to," is translated "rule," with reference to the family, in 1Ti 3:4, 5, 12; with reference to the church, in Rom 12:8; 1Th 5:12, "are over;" 1Ti 5:17, In Tts 3:8, 14, it signifies "to maintain."-W.E. Vine
1 Corinthians 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
The woman was created for the man. Man wasn’t created for the woman.
Not qualified by the word of God.
1 Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
A woman can't be the husband of one wife.
1 Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
1 John 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
Question: What does God do to those who don't obey?
1 Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
Answer:
2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
I believe they are wrong because God honors His word above His name.
King James Bible
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
Psalm 138:2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your unfailing love and your faithfulness, for you have so exalted your solemn decree that it surpasses your fame.
God said and that finishes it.

Fun fact, it was a woman preacher (joyce meyer) that led me to Christ in the wee hours of the morning while I was getting ready for work. My cell phone died that morning. Like it went kaput completely. So in stead of listening to my usual deathmetal music that morning, I sat down a flipped on the TV and for the first time ever I sat and watched her program..... The rest is well, all God.

My church doesn't elect anyone for pastorate. They only affirm what they believe is God's will.
Voting is wrong because the people who vote can be a majority and wrong:
Numbers 32:11 Surely none of the men that came up out of Egypt, from twenty years old and upward, shall see the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they have not wholly followed me:
Numbers 32:12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
The minority voted and only Caleb and Joshua entered the land.
The people voted for Barabbas over Jesus. The people voted to stone Joshua and Caleb (Numbers 14:10). The Christians drew straws and Matthias was an Apostle for a day but nothing was heard of him since because man elected Matthias and God didn't elect Matthias which is why we never hear anything from him in the Bible. The people elected Saul but God said, "...they have rejected me...."-1 Samuel 8:7
And while your people are voting, don't forget that they're supposed to be praying, "...not my will, but thine, be done". It is such a hypocrisy. You wouldn't be the first to offer strange fire before the Lord.
"Paul, therefore, says, 'I do not permit a woman to be a teacher." The context here has to do with church order, and the position of the man and woman in the church worship and work. The kind of teacher Paul has in mind is spoken of in Acts 13:1, I Corinthians 12:28, 29, and Ephesians 4:11, God-called, and God-equipped teachers, recognized by the Church as those having authority in the Church in matters of doctrine and interpretation. This prohibition of a woman to be a teacher, does not include the teaching of classes of women, girls, or children in a Sunday School, for instance, but does prohibit the woman from being a pastor, or a doctrine teacher in a school. It would not be seemly, either for a woman to teach a mixed class of adults."-p.48, 49, Word Studies in the Greek New Testament, Volume II, by Dr. Kenneth Wuest, one of the NASB Bible translators.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;

it is exactly this very attitude that has led to women being abused by their so called Christian husbands in church
just keep quiet...if he hit you, you must have deserved it
I was actually party to a session once, where the SIL , with a professional Christian counselor also present, said to the woman whose husband was in the habit of beating on her, 'You must have done something to make him hit you'
THAT is the attitude displayed by this men's club that would like to exclude women from life. Just cook and clean and put out 3 times a week.
If anything, many women could easily display far more godliness then the men that would like to shut them up

Are we to be Christian literalists? Well, believing that God's word given to us in scripture is 100% absolute truth is part of our faith is it not? To be more in Christ, are we not exhorted to examine the scriptures and apply them to our lives as well? Is not all scripture given to us by inspiration of God? Can we then not use the 66 books in the bible (Scripture) for our doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness?
2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Thus, when we examine anything that has become a doctrine in the church (well, our doctrine is in 66 books), we thus look towards what God has stated in His word for us which stands the test of time and does not change. Is that not part of the beauty of the bible, our 100% absolute truth? God's truth stands regardless of the time period, culture, or beliefs of mankind as time passes by.
The issue of women teaching or preaching is not being discussed. What we are looking at is the authority of women over men in the church as well as life in general. You brought up Priscilla, and this is the only example of a husband and wife team working to teach Apollos more correctly in Christ. There is no mention of women having headship in a family when all parts of a family are present, nor is there mention of women being elders and pastors in a church. We do have examples of women exercising spiritual gifts including teaching, but when it comes to exercising spiritual authority over a man, it is not present in the bible.
The real question is... is it our job to reinterpret the bible to fit in with our times? Or is it our job to ask the Lord to give us better understanding regarding His ways and how we can apply them in our lives?

My nine year old sister taught me about Jesus when I was four years old.
The rest is history!

bible-based, Christ-centered, Spirit-led words
I've ever heard or read came from women who
believe in Jesus, many right here on this site!
I thank the Lord for my sisters in Christ, So Much!
They're the best, I love them, and I'm not ashamed
to admit I've learned from them. ♡
(and I STILL wish one would marry me
)(Wasn't a woman one of the first to proclaim
our Saviour Jesus was alive and risen?)

Ephesians 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord.
When I got married, I ended up being a servant to my wife as well.
