God's Commandments include God's TEN Commandments (Obviously)

I don't see how this is helping your argument.
Well Bob you always seem to holler about details. For me some of the details is context in this case. We have the Pharisees trying to trap Jesus as I mentioned i v 3. I see the man's question as a continuation of the same by the way Matthew wrote the contents of the chapter. I know you will not because you base everything strictly on words. That does carry some weight, just not quite enough. Your bridge collapses under the weight in this case.

The way I see the verse is a woman is not to cause a disturbance in the worship service.

Neither would a man be allowed to "cause a disturbance" in worship.We probably both agree on that point as well.

Women teaching women and children is fine.

Do you view this as in line with women not learning anything in church and keeping silence while at church?

Hello Bob.

You may need to explain the following so that I can understand your point.

I see the command to not eat the fruit as a one off command, one that only Adam and Eve could disobey. So I do not understand your fixation with Genesis 3.

Is it "fixation" to even "mention" a Bible detail that others find "inconvenient"??

Genesis 3 tells the wife to be in subjection to her husband --

Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you.”

1 Cor 14 appeals to mosaic Law - in this regard.

1 Cor 14
34 The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. 35 If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

This is a commandment, women are not permitted to exercise authority over men.

Actually it is you that bring up the 1 Cor 14 quote about women who are supposed to learn at home and not speak while at church.

They are not permitted to ask questions about what they are taught in church.

Until they get home? Not allowed to "learn at church"??

Paul can support a commandment by using the law in some instances. Though many commandments in the N.T. have no shadow legal law.

Can appeal to OT Law that is still in authority? or "can reject OT LAW then appeal to the rejected deleted/abolished law for its authority"??

Ephesians 6
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Paul gave the instruction and then Paul backs up the instruction by reference to the law.

Your quote fro Eph 6 makes no mention at all of law or commandment. We both can see that ... right?

Hello Bob.

Your view of women in the ministry of the church is not supported by the scripture.

1 Timothy 2
9 Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, 10 but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness. 11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.

If you choose to allow women to teach, then you are contradicting Paul's teaching.
Paul is discussing the structure of the church and that of a women's role in this chapter.

That is what our discussion has always been about, the O.T. law is not in authority.

The commandments, the sayings of Jesus are what the apostles taught.
Your quote fro Eph 6 makes no mention at all of law or commandment. We both can see that ... right?
There are two lines in that text from Ephesians 6, now we will read the third line.

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Now Bob, is this a commandment or not?

A point disproven by Paul himself in his appeal to the LAW of God repeatedly -- EVEN in the example that you gave in 1Cor 14. Were we simply "not supposed to notice"?

The commandments, the sayings of Jesus are what the apostles taught.

Until you read the NT and even your own quote of 1 Cor 14.

There are two lines in that text from Ephesians 6, now we will read the third line.

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

Another great example of Paul NOT using the term "Commandment" or "LAW"..

So far you have quoted Ephesians 6:1 and also 6:4 -- since they don't use terms like "Commandment".

The objective unbiased Bible students will notice that Ephesians 6:2 comes immediately after Ephesians 6:1 (Not Ephesians 6:4). I think we all agree on this basic and obvious Bible detail.

So then since you are now on Ephesians 6 --

Ephesians 6:2 2 “Honor your father and mother,” which is the first commandment with promise: "

"First commandment" WHERE? in what "unit of LAW" still valid in the NT is the 5th commandment the "FIRST commandment WITH a promise"??

All objective unbiased Bible students will admit that the "unit of LAW" where that is true - the one Paul is quoting from - is Exodus 20:12 - from within the TEN Commandments. Paul is going out of his way to remind us that the Unit of TEN ITSELF is still authoritative - for NT Christians.

Irrefutable.

In fact such an obvious Bible detail that even the majority of pro-Sunday Scholars admit to this Bible detail. When BOTH sides admit to a given Bible detail... well.. "It just does not GET any easier than that"!

Hello Bob.

You know what I meant to say.

On the contrary - you quoted 1 Cor 14 and then spoke about what it said -- now I think we both agree that you made a mistaken inexplicably saying I am the one that brought up 1Cor 14 - and now we both see that I am showing how the very text you quoted is a direct appeal to OT law.

This is the obvious part we can both agree to.

That word is husband -- which is why it does not conflict with the texts that describe the work of Deborah and Anna in the Sanctuary.
11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over the man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.

1. The context is - husband and wife: example: Adam and Eve
2. The word applies to husband.
3. Still waiting for your answer to the issue with Anna and Deborah as quoted above.

The objective Bible scholar (a person who is highly educated or has an aptitude for study) will consider all of the Scripture to base their theology and beliefs on. You obviously don't.

Hello Bob.

I am baffled by some of your replies.

When was Deborah in the sanctuary?

What has the text in this letter to Timothy got do with Deborah in the book of Judges?

You did not clearly indicate what you were referring to when you said,'That word is husband'.

11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over the man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.

1. The context is - husband and wife: example: Adam and Eve
2. The word applies to husband.
Please explain Bob.
3. Still waiting for your answer to the issue with Anna and Deborah as quoted above.
I see no issue.

Women receive prophesy.

Women receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

Women are not to hold authority over men in the church.

Bishops and deacons are men not women.

Is it your argument that it is ok for the prophetess Anna in the NT but not for Deborah as prophetess and judge in the OT?

I find your logic "illusive" just then. (No matter that it has nothing to do with this thread topic)

Hello Bob.

In reference to the text which I will print below.

1 Corinthians 14
34 The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.

You replied with the following.
Genesis 3 tells the wife to be in subjection to her husband
Your desire shall be for your husband,
And he shall rule over you.”
The only problem with your quotation is that Genesis is not in the law.

The law of Moses prohibits women from service in the sanctuary. Only the Levitical priests minister in the temple, only men can be priests.

Paul may be referring to this when he says, 'as the law also says'.
Actually it is you that bring up the 1 Cor 14 quote about women who are supposed to learn at home and not speak while at church.
Until they get home? Not allowed to "learn at church"??
That is what the text says.

35 If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

Hello Bob.

You said Deborah worked in the temple.

I said Anna and Deborah were prophets and that Deborah was in fact judge over all of Israel (not just over the children) -- and we have the fact that Anna was prophesying in the temple itself.

This all fits perfectly with your doctrine - right?

After all it is in the Bible.

Christ affirms "The LAW and the prophets" in Matt 22 - and "the LAW" in that case is all the books of Moses. Which is why we can have this in 1Cor 14 (Quoted by you)

1 Cor 14
34 The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. 35 If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

The law of Moses prohibits women from service in the sanctuary. Only the Levitical priests minister in the temple, only men can be priests.

Only the men were priests.

But it is not the case that "only the men were prophets" - recall in 1Cor 12 in the church there is appointed "FIRST Apostles THEN Prophets THEN pastors".

Luke 2
36 Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; 37 and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
