Nothing says she had some sort of official office to teach men.
How is that relevant? There is nothing in scripture to say women can teach in their homes but they cannot hold an official teaching office.
Lets look at how we can try to read 1Tim 2:12 to forbid women having an official teaching position in chuch.
(1) You can try to read 1Tim 2:12 as a list of three separate prohibitions
1Tim 2:12 (a)
I do not permit a woman to teach ... a man,
(b)
I do not permit a woman ... to usurp authority over a man,
(c)
she is to remain quiet.
That doesn't work because as we have seen Priscilla taught Apollos and we know that Paul
wanted women to pray and prophesy in church.
You cannot read it as I don't not permit a woman to teach a man in the context of 1Tim, or in an official teaching capacity in church, although she is allowed teach in men in the comfort of her own home. 1Tim 2:12 simply does not stretch that way. You can read it as a prohibition in the context of 1Tim, or try to read it as an absolute prohibition against teaching men anywhere, ever, which is flatly contradicted by Priscilla. What I do not see any justification for is turning it into an elastic prohibition you can stretch around the clear case of Priscilla teaching Apollos, then stretch it to women in official teaching roles in the church. Then you have to claim women are not allowed teach in church, but the command to remain quiet does not apply in church since women are supposed to be prophesying and praying there.
(2) Alternatively you need to say that Paul isn't talking about women teaching as Priscilla did, but women teaching in the context of
authentein or usurping authority.
Then you can try to say: This means women cannot hold a position of authority in the church and teach. But the bible nevers refer to ministries and positions of authority in the church as
authentein, nor does is ever say that a women in such a role has usurped authority.
The problem with this argument is it is starting with the assumption women cannot have authority in church and any woman who has authority has usurped it, and then reading this
into 1Tim 2:12. But it is 1Tim 2:12 that is supposed to say women cannot have authority in church in the first place. Where does the idea come from if it is only read into the text in 1Tim 2:12? It simply has no biblical basis.
But the interpretation is right about one thing. We need to understand Pauls prohibition on teaching and and his command to be quiet, in the context of
authentein and what was going on in 1Tim, not as three separate prohibition. If you want to read
authentein as usurp authority, then Paul is saying the women who were disrupting Timothy's Basics of Christianity class and trying to take over, were being forbidden to usurp the authority of their teacher and start teaching, they were the ones Paul was telling
to remain quiet v12, they were to
learn quietly with all submissiveness v11. It does not mean as they grow and learn and mature in the Lord they cannot be given a role of teaching or authority, just that they cannot usurp it back in Christianity 101.
Or, again, we can try to understand teaching in the context of
authentein and looking at the meaning of authentein in the ancient world, Paul is saying women are not allow teach men
authentein with all its dominatrix and domineering connotations. Alternatively, you had women claiming the role of
authentes, that it was their birth right as women to domineer men and teach them. These women were using their claim of being
authentes as the basis of their right to teach the men in class including their teacher, and Paul saying he does not allow women either to be an
authentes or teach as an
authentes.
But none of Paul’s prohibitions in the context of 1Tim 2:12 say anything about women in a official teaching role in church, just that new believers disrupting the class like the women were doing in Ephesus.
