Should women teach or preach in the church?

Now here is the real question.  Should women teach "calculus"?  Should women teach others how to "fix a flat tire"?

Ok.

Both "calculus" and "fixing a flat tire" are common masculine roles.  Calculus requires much BRAIN strength.  Fixing a flat tire requires much physical and basic mechanic knowledge strength.  Can women accomplish the task of doing those things.  YES.  Is she ALWAYS capable at ALL times in her life of accomplishing those things.  In many instances, NO, and men should fill those roles.  When women are carrying a baby in the womb, her strength to perform is not as if she was without children.  Certainly when her children are grown and can stand safely by a busy highway (hence the dad should change tires along busy highway), she can safely fulfill the role of changing that tire.

In reality, a woman's body as in reference to the bible passage indicates that the first century Christians were NOT advocates of women taking on men's roles, but more focus on love for husband, loving her own children and furthering the next generation.  Essentially with 10+ children potentially in the early Christian home (we don't know for sure as there may be converts from wild life too) she would not have "time" to teach or preach in a church setting!  She would go from mothering before the age of 20 to the role of grandmother by the time she was 40 years old and then beyond.

However, sometimes men simply CANNOT by any means learn Calculus!  Yes.  They simply are not wired to think upon these complex math formulas.  Though there certainly are men that can handle the feat.  As a result, someone, even IF it is a woman should definitely take on the role.  Certainly it is difficult to balance a busy home with many children, but someone MUST know the ropes of the "bible" in-order to teach the bible!  I cannot think upon any human who attends a church and thoroughly enjoys listening to an "untrained" bible teacher.  I wouldn't even pick up a bible while they were teaching because their knowledge base was so inadequate.  A female who knows the ropes is better than a male who just ventures out on the back roads without proper road maps, ending in disaster for all.  Pride will fool any man or woman for that matter.

There are other times where the man of the house is not available to "preach" in the church.  Perhaps the role of changing that tire was so extremely difficult that someone MUST lead by example and EXPLAIN what Galatians 5 is truly illustrating.  At this time, there is NO REASON a woman cannot illustrate various "God-signs" and evidence for her experiences with God to anther human being, whether they are male or female listeners.  Kindness goes a long way and can reach many, even if a male is not there to lead by example in these matters.  (Yes, the men also need to display kindness, or how else can we determine their fruits).  Essentially women can preach, even if the men (brothers, husbands, fathers etc.) are incapable due to their lack of experiencing God at the core of their heart.  We need more godly men in our society.  Fatherless homes?  Hence leading people astray from reality and truth about human conditions from the heart (2 Peter 1:21).

Yes, the verse about women ought not be teaching and preaching in a church is NOT intentionally there to intimidate women FROM knowing the scripture well enough or practicing the scripture well enough to be "Galatians 5 kind."  Women need to be leaning the bible as if they are currently teaching!  Women need to be preaching!  But they ought to not be the false accuser types in the pulpit!  or the gossip types!  or the angry Jezebel types!  Buyer beware.  Just because a "woman" is in the pulpit, doesn't mean that she has all her ducks in a row, spiritually and morally speaking!!!@@!!!  Even among those of us who have aced a few "religious classes" in college there could be a wolf or two among the sheep (sin creeps in at the door of the heart when not aware of different ideals).

Sorry, but there ARE cases where women have lost pregnancy (pro-life vs pro-choice) and there are cases where women were raped (issues of sexuality among the people and why their marriages have issues) and there are cases where women simply can only give up the promise of marriage on earth and must face the fact that life on earth is temporary (cancer, diseases, frailty, racial issues etc).

So be real and balanced.  Don't assume that because so and so is in the pulpit or up there in front, they have all their ducks in a row.  Male or female.

The talent of "a man" can only come by divine and other presence....not just because of their own biological conditions.

Genuine Christianity has basics

Males CAN essentially TEACH the principles of the bible.....from any sort of Christian study perspective.  Be open to truth.
