Seems as if they don't believe that a certain part of the NT is inspired.
I spoke to a religious female cousin who said that what Paul wrote is nonsense.
Doesn't bother her one bit to say that while quoting other scriptures of the NT, including those written by Paul, with deep, reverent awe.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 KJV
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

Please cross-reference that law so we can see from at least 2 witnesses

They claim that Paul was speaking about a certain problem which exclusively existed in the Corinthian Church in relation to certain women and that it isn't applicable to ALL churches. The problem with that explanation is that he doesn't describe any such specific disruptive church-attendance problem involving women in the Corinthian church prior to making that statement.

Peter taught women not to say anything to unbelieving husbands but to lead by example. Other than that the only cross[reference is found in Ester that was put in place by Persians and followed in the Purin rabinical law.
What Paul did understand was the place of the church in context to the head of the church that he exemplified in marraige. The shadow of the truth. The church does not speak. Only Christ does. iow, there should be no pastors at all who are not speaking from inspiration. Everything else is speculation.
But that's neither here nor there for me. For one, I'm not a pastor, nor am I married, nor do I partake in worshipping at any fleshly throne.

Do you need three references for thou shalt not murder as well? If a scripture is straightforward clear-why the suspicion?

The bible specifies 2 witnesses. I suggest you use that for any bible study to get an accurate interpretation. 3 would be better
Jesus said just the thought incriminates

A church near me has a woman pastor senior pastor. My take on this that a woman should not be the senior pastor of a church. In which the Bible speaks highly against it.
What is your take on this?

The Bible doesn't speak highly against it.
If it did, God would not call women to do this, because he doesn't contradict his word. And men would not allow women to do this either - far less encourage, train and ordain them.

That was referring to judicial cases and not to statements that need no further clarifications. Why do you feel that what Paul said needs further clarification? Does he need further clarification when he tells us that the Law was only a shadow of things to come or that Jesus was the last Adam?

1 Corinthians 15:45
New International Version
So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.


Or that Adam was NOT deceived but Eve was?

1 Timothy 2:14
New International Version
And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

Can you provide it? The concepts are novel to the NT itself and aren't mentioned by any other Apostle. Are we to reject them because of that? Can you substantiate the statements of Jude that Michael disputed over Moses' body with the Devil and then said: "May the Lord Rebuke you!"? Of course not and they need no further support.

Jude 1:
"But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, 'The Lord rebuke you!'

Not only is in Unbiblical, but scratch the surface where you see a woman "pastor" and you'll almost always find a host of other doctrinal problems.

Really I guess I should go away then.
You should do what you feel is right for you. Just make sure you're convictions are backed with truth. The spiritual law not the letter of the law

Why do you ignor what Paul says that there is no difference between believers and that we should all submit to each other?
