Thus, "I suffer not a woman... to usurp authority over the man" could
be referring to the specific case of the wife having authority over her
husband rather than in a generic sense of any woman having authority
over any man.  If this is true, it seems that the notion that *any* man
could have authority over *any* woman is not supported by Scripture.

Thus, it would be impossible for, say, Sis Kathy Barnett to usurp
authority over me *since I have no authority over her, as I am not her
husband*.


Just a thought-If the scripture about a woman learning in silence
and not usurping authority over the man refers to just a wife over
her husband then in the instance that a woman pastor was married
we would run into a wife usurping authority over the man, the wife in
this case being her husband's pastor. I can see where, If a no man 
would fill the position then God could use a woman as He has in times
past, however I do not believe he would contradict his own word. Therefore,
though I can see God using a woman to pastor a church, I see it
happening about as often as a woman's name appears as a bible book
title(we know how often that is) and in the few cases it would seem to me
by the posts I've read and the scripture involved that it would need to be
an unmarried woman who would step down if she became married being
subjected to the authority of her head-the man who's head is Christ.
Like I said, just a thought.

God Bless you all in Jesus Name,
Bro. Daniel Westbrook
