again you are missing the point. this is not about women's roles in society at large but in the church in particular
Yet you did raise the points about society, and I addressed them. And I also addressed points in the church in particular.
trying to drown the issue in minutia is an avoidance tactic.
Addressing the points you raised is not an avoidance tactic. But it will take me time to get through all of the material. And I am trying to actually respond to what you have said.
The issue is the 4 universal rules I pointed out. You have not addressed those in relationship to the text in Ephesus, both of which cannot be true at the same time.
Nor have I given my overall take on I Corinthians 14 or I Timothy 2 in general. So far the conversation has been focused on different aspects, because I don't see those texts as dealing directly with the issue of this thread, but indirectly.
I tried to get you or others to discuss the aspect of what it means for women's role in the church in the other thread, where that was the topic. But people didn't care to do so.
I do still plan on getting to your statements as to what you see as the heart of the matter. But since there is a lot to respond to that will take time.
If you only wanted me to respond to those elements, then you need not have put the other elements. But you did, and I am responding to them.
