Often the following is used by those saying women shouldn't teach. Let's look closely at the man and woman under discussion: 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one Mediator between God and MEN, the MAN Christ Jesus. 2:8-10 I will therefore that MEN pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In like manner also, that WOMEN adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh WOMEN professing godliness) with good works.Paul was addressing men and women and then....the subject changes: 2:11 Let the WOMAN learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a WOMAN to teach, nor to usurp authority over the MAN, but to be in silence. Notice the difference Paul made. The discussion was about men and women and then it changed to the woman and the man. I believe "the woman" that is to "learn in silence" and to "not teach or usurp authority" over "the man" is..... Revelation 12:1-2 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a WOMAN clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars: And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered. 12:5 And she brought forth a MAN child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to His throne.The woman is the church, the body of Christ and that body consists of men and women. The body of Christ brings forth the man child of end times, the elect, and they are to teach the body. They feed her in the wilderness. 1 Timothy 2:13-15 For Adam was first formed, then Eve; And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression: Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.Again Paul changed. "She shall be saved in childbearing," the "she" being "the woman," the body of Christ, the church. Then, to substantiate this, Paul writes, "if they continue in faith." "They" being many...the body, not one person or one woman. 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 11:8-9 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. 11:11-12 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.The woman, the church, the body of Christ, is "saved in childbearing" as from her comes the man child, (the elect, the saints). The head of the woman is the man (man child) and the head of the man (man child) is Christ. The woman (church) is to learn in silence and not take authority over the man child for the man child learns from Christ, The Man Child. John 14:26 But the Comforter, Which is the Holy Ghost, Whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
