But what would you say, if, in a remote village somewhere a Christian woman arrives, and the whole village is unreached. Would you say that even to the men, she is not allowed to preach the Gospel? This is not to challenge you in the sense of battle, but a question of inquiry, because, I am still learning the strict doctrines of true biblical history and God.
Do you yourself know of such a case? One can come up with any number of "what if" scenarios which sound plausible, yet they are not actually possible unless God brings them to pass. Remember, God is in control of all things. Without an actual case, speculation is fruitless.
God does not change; neither is He a god of "situational ethics." His word stands in all situations, regardless of all the liberal raving to the contrary. Liberals always seem to want to argue (unsuccessfully) around 1 Timothy:
"Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression." [1 Tim. 2:11-14 (NKJ)]
Notice that Paul's argument is based on the created order, and upon the resultant consequences. As goldenoldie said, always remember Eden.
But then they most often overlook (or choose to ignore) 1 Corinthians:
"Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church." [1 Cor. 14:34-35 (NKJ)]
And Paul goes on to add that this is God's command:
"If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord." [1 Cor. 14:37 (NKJ)]
