OK, I get that. Please show us where God Himself said, "I do not permit a woman to teach."...throughout history the world has tried to place a question mark where God has placed a period.
But if Paul had the power to create a law, such as women can't speak in church, why did he say we were under no law?1 Timothy 2:12
Paul was speaking with God authority. It makes no difference whether God Himself said or not.
I see Paul saying, "I do not permit a woman to teach..." I don't see God saying that. Can you prove Paul wasn't speaking according to his own cultural belief? Can you prove God commanded him to say what he said? If not, you don't have a case.1 Timothy 2:12

Wrong. Unscriptural. Offends scriptures concerning family structure and responsibilities.What are your thoughts about women preaching in church?
Paul tells us we are under no law, and then creates a law that women are not allowed to talk in a church. Paul is a great man, and we have much to learn from him, but I take my cue from Jesus, who told us to love our neighbors as ourselves.
So you think it is an act of rebellion against God for a woman to give a sermon in a church?Wrong. Unscriptural. Offends scriptures concerning family structure and responsibilities.
Children are to obey their parents. Wives are to support their Husbands. Husbands (and fathers) are
to love their wives and to bring up their children through teaching the gospel.
Jesus Is the head of the father/husband and the family just as he is the head of the Church.
But unbelief and wilfull disregard for both scripture and the wisdom of God is just so trendy
and with it these days.
If you defend the word of God and his purpose for marriage and family one is condemned as being
old fashioned, backward, extreme, bigotted, and so on.
It's rebellion to willingly disregard God's teaching. If a woman is aware of these verses and chooses to exercises authority over men in the church she is rebelling. If she is ignorant of those verses then she is not willingly rebelling but she is still in the wrong.So you think it is an act of rebellion against God for a woman to give a sermon in a church?
Note: a woman doesn't have to be a pastor to preach in a church.
You equate preaching a sermon in a church with exercising authority over a man?they should not be exercising authority over men in the church.
Do you also feel the same way about women authors who write books about Jesus? Do you feel that only women should read their books? And what about women in colleges and universities who teach Bible classes, do you think they should be fired from teaching?It's rebellion to willingly disregard God's teaching. If a woman is aware of these verses and chooses to exercises authority over men in the church she is rebelling. If she is ignorant of those verses then she is not willingly rebelling but she is still in the wrong.

Let me ask this, does God contradict Himself?
My answer: No.
We know from His word that WE can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Phillipians 4:13. "All things" would that not include women preaching? There is no stipulation to this verse such as "all things through Christ...oh, unless you're a woman who desires to preach. Girls have cooties". I mean no disrespect, just bringing a bit of humor.
God's word all says Nothing is impossible with God. Again, there is no fine print with this verse either stating..."EXCEPT..if you're a preaching woman. Men only. Go home and knit something." No, All things are possible with God. I don't personally believe God views me or any woman to be any less capable than any man. He certainly doesn't love me any less. Bless me any less.
Maybe it was Paul's personal opinion. I really don't know. But I have offered mine and any offense I may cause is unintended. My opinion is just my opinion. I respect that others may not share my view.
OK, I get that. Please show us where God Himself said, "I do not permit a woman to teach."
[bold mine]Women. . . feel themselves led to preach.
