woman preaachers

OK, so you didn't look into it. That's fine. Here's something if you want to investigate > Why would 1 Cor 14:34-35 be an interpolation?

These are the basic points (from another website):
I frankly don't think the issue is that big of a deal. I can't say it's an interpolation or not, but the evidence is certainly strong enough to be not dogmatic about the issue.

This is a hot topic in every Christian community discussion forum. And there are always two sides. That which argues God would never pick a woman to spread the good news of Salvation. And those that say being how important it is when God wants no one to perish in their sins, is it rational to imagine God would practice gender discrimination? When he says he wants no one to die condemned? When God has made it so that women outnumber men in the world, is it reasonable to think he'd not whisper to a one of those females through the Holy Spirit that leads them toward all truth ? And that he wants that woman to speak his truth so that souls may be saved?

No!
God made all of us. It is utter silliness to think he then decreed one sex unfit to teach his word. Especially when churches seem to have no problem at all with women preaching to children and leading them in the way they should go in Sunday school. See what I did there?

OK.

Since your mind is made up, there is no point in continuing.

Next time, in case I do choose to reply, please try and format your response a little better.

I think women should bake pies.

And it's well known in neural science women have a unique area of the brain devoted to pie baking, called the pie-frontal cortex.

The first three possibilities could be said of quite a number of texts whose authenticity is not challenged. What makes this passage different is because it is of such a controversial nature. People do not like what it says so, they try to find some way to discredit the text.

Regarding the fourth point, I will be happy to challenge that assumption. I have discovered that most people who talk about context of a given passage could not find the context with both hands and written instructions.

As to the fifth point, There are many difference between the four major codices. You know as well as I do that this argument could be raised on a great many difference between the major texts. This is not enough evidence to challenge the authenticity of 2Cor 14 or any other text.

Sorry about the formatting. LOL. I am still trying to figure out this new system. How do you reply in quotes on this system when there are multiple responses?

I do not know how everyone else does it, but I always just click the "<=REPLY" link, then break apart the sections I am responding to by manually typing begin-quote [ quote ] and end-quote [ /quote ] tags (with no spaces near the brackets, of course..).

Have you studied the matter or are you just shooting from the hip?

Thanks, I'll try that.

Try highlighting the text you want to respond to, then click on the Reply thingie at the bottom right of the selected text. You can do that multiple times on the same page.

The truth is that there is evidence they are not authentic. Those two verses appear in different places in some manuscripts. They break the flow of what Paul is saying, and more.[/QUOTE]

Instead of being nebulous, suppose you present your so-called evidence.

[/QUOTE]While you are correct that it does not specifically say Chloe ran the church, the Greek is more literally "the ones of Chloe".[/QUOTE]

I know what the Greek says, I can read it for myself. There is absolutely nothing in this text to suggest that this means that the
Church even met in Chloe's house. Even if it did, it would not further suggest that she in any way occupied any type of leadership role in the Church. All you are doing is grasping at straws.

Different translation render it differently. This does not meant it is refering to Junia as an apostle. She was simply well know by the apostolic band.

Yes, but not in the assembly. This is and entirely different issue.

The Lord did not seem to thinks so. These are his instructions. There are may prohibitions of function placed on people in the Church, both men and women. These prohibitions did not come from Paul, the came from the Lord.

[/QUOTE]Yes. And some women are assign to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.[/QUOTE]

No, they are not. No record of this anywhere in scripture. Like I said, when women take this upon themselves, they do so in spite of what scripture says and not because of what scripture says.[/QUOTE]
I really admire you
fighting your corner! Courageous 💛 You certainly know your stuff!

Yes CS1, preaching is an action. Some denominations insist you have the proper anointing before tackling that action. We draw a fine line and many insist the Bible says women don't preach. If one wants to preach, they had better be a preacher some call elders.

I have simply noticed from a lot of past research that these kinds of arguments could be raised about a great may passages where such differences exist yet, more often than not, no challenge is made regarding authenticity. What is most generally argued is which text is to be preferred, not which is authentic.

I am fairly confident that the words "if an ADULT MALE desire the office of a Bishop" <---translated from the Greek is clear enough......

Well I would recommend getting over your judgmental bias (frankly I was offended by some of what you said) and study the matter thoroughly. I will refrain from discussing this matter further with you until you've actually studied it.

But to answer on of your points, no writing of Paul has text that appears in different locations in different manuscripts except 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.

Here is the problem, and I have watched this trend develop over the last 40 years over several controversial issues. The first step people take in challenging texts they believe to be controversial in scripture is to try to spin the translation. When that fails, they attempt to find some way to challenge the validity of the translation. When that fails, they then move to the latter stage of trying to find some way to discredit the text altogether. They, challenge the MSS evidence trying to find some way to claim manipulation, addition to the text, or removal from the text in later copies. These typically turn out to be red herrings.

The truth is that there is evidence they are not authentic. Those two verses appear in different places in some manuscripts. They break the flow of what Paul is saying, and more.[/QUOTE]

Interesting very Interesting

Like I said to you or someone else - I don't have an agenda except knowing what the truth is.

I do not think the acquisition of truth can be obtained when our starting place is to question the legitimacy of scripture, especially those with which one disagrees.
