the only thing that comes to mind is when the husband (man) does not believe... the woman does... and from her believing in Christ .. her family will be saved.
Many have taken what Paul was stating in the church that day to the women.. for them to be silent... but they don't understand the custom of old. Women sat on one side, the men on the other. Paul was speaking, the women didn't understand, so they turned to their husbands.. and was talking to them, asking what is he saying.
Women had roles look at Deborah.. Ruth, Esther, Mary, and many others in the scriptures.
Who are the teachers of our children? Sure not the fathers who fathered them. They leave it up to the women. Who taught in the Sundady schools, sure wasn't the man.
The man is to be the bread winner, but look at it today, most of the bread winners are women. hmmm food for thought
Who are we to say that a woman can't stand behind the pulpit? There are many churches where the man does not want to take the lead, to be the head of the gathers in a church building. The Bible tells us the husband is be the head of the family, as Christ is the head of the church.
Women have to step up to the plate today, because some men just can't handle it, or they refuse to take charge.
Do I personally believe a woman should lead the church, no but if there is no man within that will take charge, then yes she should until a man can replace her temporary role as the leader of the church people.
Where does it say God has limitations on who can or who must intrepret scripture? Why is it that humans want to limit what God can do, who God can use to spread His Word? Didn't God use a donkey to talk? Yes, He sure did! If God can use a donkey, He sure can use a woman.
Once we come to Christ, there is no more Jew or Gentile, no more male or female...... God does not see us as we see us.

no be more specific if possible, otherwise there is no scripture that says anything like that. There is a Bible reference of a woman doing a man's job in war in Judges and one of David's wives doing good for David which her husband should have done and she saved him from being killed.
Other than the scripture Joah of Arch was an example of this in leading a French revolution insted of a man?
But she was latter killed for cutting her hair like a man and wearing man's clothes to fool them in battle by religious people.

My referance Bible dose not specificaly list that, that way...but I know that within there somewhere is the provision that if there is no male to give The Word then a woman may read The Book and repeat the teaching ...but not interpret scripture..... in a practical sense..not biblical...there are many jobs in many churches that if a woman did not do it then it would not get done...many congrigations would collaps compleatly if the women did not take responsability... but that dose not include pastoring and interpritation of Scripture...

No..The Bible does not say that. I have heard women say that when they are trying to fill men's positions, but it really is not Biblical. Men are supposed to do their own jobs and women theirs.
Most of the jobs in the church can be done by either men or women, the only ones that women are not to do are those where they take dominion over men, ie, Pastor or Apostle are headship positions, but evangelist, prophet, deacon, are positions that could are are filled by women many times..

Yes, Check Judges chapter 4. Deborah was the Judge of Israel and she told Barack to go against Sisera of the opposing army. He said, only if she went with him and she told him that because of that the Lord would give the honor to a woman (verse 9). Sisera is killed by a woman named Jael who give him a drink of milk and while he is asleep drives a tent spike through his temple. (Verse 21.)

I honestly cannot remember ever reading anything like that in the Bible, and I know the Bible pretty well. Are you sure it's really in there?

I know of no such quote in the Bible, KJV or not. However, if you are interested in a place in the Bible where women are most highly praised in ways that men aren't-- then please read Proverbs chapter 31:10-31
I include it here:
10A woman of worth who doth find? Yea, far above rubies is her price. 11The heart of her husband hath trusted in her, And spoil he lacketh not. 12She hath done him good, and not evil, All days of her life. 13She hath sought wool and flax, And with delight she worketh with her hands. 14She hath been as ships of the merchant, From afar she bringeth in her bread. 15Yea, she riseth while yet night, And giveth food to her household, And a portion to her damsels. 16She hath considered a field, and taketh it, From the fruit of her hands she hath planted a vineyard. 17She hath girded with might her loins, And doth strengthen her arms. 18She hath perceived when her merchandise is good, Her lamp is not extinguished in the night. 19Her hands she hath sent forth on a spindle, And her hands have held a distaff. 20Her hand she hath spread forth to the poor, Yea, her hands she sent forth to the needy. 21She is not afraid of her household from snow, For all her household are clothed with scarlet. 22Ornamental coverings she hath made for herself, Silk and purple are her clothing. 23Known in the gates is her husband, In his sitting with elders of the land. 24Linen garments she hath made, and selleth, And a girdle she hath given to the merchant. 25Strength and honour are her clothing, And she rejoiceth at a latter day. 26Her mouth she hath opened in wisdom, And the law of kindness is on her tongue. 27She is watching the ways of her household, And bread of sloth she eateth not. 28Her sons have risen up, and pronounce her happy, Her husband, and he praiseth her, 29`Many are the daughters who have done worthily, Thou hast gone up above them all.' 30The grace is false, and the beauty is vain, A woman fearing Jehovah, she may boast herself. 31Give ye to her of the fruit of her hands, And her works do praise her in the gates!
