I did! A 3 hour one
came back and still don’t know whether women can preach or not! LOL (sarcastic)
I think the conclusion is, yes, as long as she has hair or a reasonable facsimile of a head covering.

Wow, let's just twist and extrapolate to the point of being absolutely ridiculous.
Do you have reason to believe a woman wouldn't or couldn't speak the truth based on her gender alone?
Thank you for bringing back a fond memory. My pastor and his wife took some of us to see guest speaker at the Miami convention center. Who it was isn't important but he kept saying how a man wearing a suit or a woman with her hair up is no indication of holyness. After the third or fourth time he said it I just happened to glance at my pastor's wife as she silently said "well fine then" and let her hair down. My pastor saw it as well as a couple of our friends and we all started giggling and laughing while trying very hard not to.
I love when God fills us with such joy we can't help but let it out!

Yesterday I wondered why you posted this verse. It didn’t seem to relate to the subject. But I pondered it, ya know? And today I was inspired to jump on the crosstown bus & go to the public park to write.
So I sit down on this bench and start to read a bit first. A man comes outta nowhere, asks to sit next to me & I say yeah. I glance at him and think, he’s gotta be homeless. He looked poor. But his eyes are full of shiny light, he didn’t have many teeth but his smile is pure joy. And he says with a melodic voice, “Meditating is better than reading sometimes.”
I asked, “Do you mean with God?” And he smiled so big and says, “Of course I do.”
I confessed to him I was too perturbed to meditate this morning with the conflict going on in this thread, because I was concerned for godly sisters being discouraged by modern day Pharisees. Ya know what he says? He said what you said in your comment below, Incognito: “Show with the WORD.”
He said to ask anyone coming against women, “Tell us the exact page and what Bible where the verse can be found so everyone can read it together. Not what you think it says, no added opinions, just show us the scripture, word for word. THEN trust the Holy Spirit to interpret to each heart.”
He said when we force our judgment on people, we are in the flesh and are interfering with the Holy Spirit’s work. And as children of God, we all only digest a little truth at a time, as the Father sees fit. Some have not even tasted truth yet, some are still on the milk of the word, and some have just begun to eat the meat of the word. We are all at different levels but the Holy Spirit is the Teacher. Only those who are strong in the Lord are to be pastors and leaders. There is no male or female in the spirit realm, just vessels of honor used for the glory of God.
And he said don’t worry about trying to save people but to just be a friend and love people and God will meet their needs through us as He wills it. He said when we rest in the Lord, most times we won’t even be aware the great things God does through us because our eyes are on Him. Ain’t that amazing, sister?
So about half hour later, we blessed each other and I jumped back on the bus. Ya know what the bus driver says? “What is that man doing there? I thought I just dropped him off up the street.” I told her he was there talking to me the whole time I was at the park and she says, “Huh… that was weird.”
Well, time is irrelevant in spiritual reality. And perhaps that was an angel making his rounds in a few places at once. Who knows? But that’s the third time in my entire life I was pretty sure I was entertaining an angel.. except I was aware. Thanks to your post last night. Hahaha!!
Bless you, sister Incognito! :::hugs::: ❤

Still arguing with women-even though you were ready to stop pages ago? I guess that makes you a liar.

READ Daniel Chapter 4!
GOD DOESN'T CHANGE (Malachi 3:6)!
GOD "chooses" us for SPIRITUAL WORK (I Corinthians 12:28; Ephesians 4:11) and "There is neither male nor female *IN* Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:27) but you have to be "IN" Christ Jesus who is "SPIRIT" who "chooses" us ("Sets them in THE CHURCH") for SPIRITUAL WORK as these men are looking at CARNALITY or "dress tails!"
What they don't know is "There is a spiritual body and there is a natural body" (I Corinthians 15:42-44) and what they are looking at I Timothy 3 in the "natural" because "women should RULE THEIR OWN HOUSE" (I Timothy 3:12) in the "natural" as well.
WE MUST "LISTEN TO GOD" AND WHAT HE SAID "FROM THE BEGINNING" (Jeremiah 6:16) IN *ALL* OF OUR BELIEFS OF A DOCTRINE (Hebrews 6:1-2)!
LISTEN TO GOD:
"AND ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH ARE REPUTED AS *NOTHING*: AND HE DOETH ACCORDING TO *HIS WILL* IN THE ARMY OF THE HEAVEN, AND AMONG THE INHABITANTS OF THE EARTH: AND *NONE* CAN STAY HIS HAND, OR SAY UNTO HIM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" (DANIEL 4:35)!
"...THE MOST HIGH RULETH IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN, AND GIVETH IT TO *WHOMSOEVER* HE WILL, AND SETTETH UP OVER IT THE BASEST OF MEN" (DANIEL 4:17).
"...THE MOST HIGH RULETH IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN, AND GIVETH IT TO *WHOMSOEVER* HE WILL" (DANIEL 4:25).
"...THE MOST HIGH RULETH IN THE KINGDOM OF MEN, AND GIVETH IT TO *WHOMSOEVER* HE WILL" (DANIEL 4:32).
DO YOU KNOW NOW?
NO MATTER *WHAT* THESE PEOPLE SAY "GOD HAS SPOKEN!"
Blessings

"The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God" (Romans 8:16).
"If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind (Philippians 2:1-2).
"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:27-28).
"THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD GOD IS UPON ME; BECAUSE THE LORD HATH ANOINTED ME TO PREACH GOOD TIDINGS UNTO THE MEEK; HE HATH SENT ME TO BIND UP THE BROKEN-HEARTED, TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES, AND THE OPENING OF THE PRISON TO THEM THAT ARE BOUND" (ISAIAH 61:1)!
THANK YOU JESUS!
I GIVE YOU ALL THE PRAISE!
MATTHEW 11:25!
LOVE YOU TOO MY SISTER IN CHRIST!
BLESSINGS

Unfortunately that is the sad truth, I could have saved myself a lot of grief if I had only done my own proper research instead of trusting others, not just on this topic but many others.
