PAUL IS SPEAKING TO THE EPHESIAN WOMEN NOT ALL WOMEN. THE EPHESIAN WOMEN WERE ABUSING THEIR NEWLY FOUND CHRISTIAN FREEDOM. PRISCILLA TAUGHT APOLLOS , THE GREAT PREACHER. (ACTS 18.24-26) PHEBE WORKED IN THE CHURCH. ( ROMANS 16.1) MARY, TRYPHENA , AND TRYPHOSA WERE THE LORD'S WORKERS. (ROMANS 16.6 & 12) AS FAR AS WOMEN BEING SILENT IN CHURCH MEETINGS, THE WORD SILENT TRANSLATED " BE IN QUIETNESS" WHICH IS EXPRESSING AN ATTITUDE OF COMPOSURE. PAUL SAID HIM SELF THAT WOMEN PUBLICLY PRAYED AND PROPHESIED
( 1 CORINTHIANS 11.5) AGIAN THE EPHESIAN WOMEN WERE ABUSING THEIR CHRISTIAN FREEDOM. BECAUSE THESE WOMEN WERE NEW CONVERTS AND UNEDUCATED THEY DID NOT YET HAVE THE NECESSARY EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEGDE, OR MATURITY TO TEACH THOSE WHO ALREADY HED EXTENSIVE BIBLICAL EDUCATION. NOT ALL WOMEN.

I believe you are correct - Paul was being specific to that particular church - there are other similar things that people get confussed about - when paul tells timothy to take a little wine with his water to help his stomach - some people think that is meant for us too - No - it was specific to timothy - there are some things that are trans-cultural and some that are not
your example - is not a trans-cultural teaching and you already backed it up with other scripture from the same person -

There are many women who served the Lord well in biblical times, but what is the point of this interpretation? I believe that paul meant a women was more suceptible to the strong temptings of Satan when they were standing in front of a church to preach to men and women? Though they are able to teach, they are not ordained to be over thier own church. Seems he referred to the women being tempted, then in turn able to tempt the man? I am not certain but I know Paul didnt mean that women was in servitude to men, that is pretty sexist to think.

Woman can teach but not to ursurp authority over men at all. That means woman cannot Pastor or be Decons. Jesus also never called women to preach.

and your point is?....
All are created in the image of God.
Many Gifts, One Body. (women included, sad I had to add this)
1 Tim 3:15 Church called the "pillar and foundation of truth"

I agree! God will anoint whomever He chooses. Many men will not answer the Call, but many women will. He doesn't look at capability, but availability. In the Kingdom of God, we are one!

I think you got it.
God can use women as well as men.
Men are usually suppose to be the leaders, but if they do not do what God has called them to, then God will use another (male or female).

Sorry, "be in quietness" means " STOP TALKING" in the greek. also, Paul wrote, "I do not allow a woman to teach..."

Were you aware of internet etiquette that states that capslock is considered rude and is akin to screaming?
This is a nice way to twist scripture to make it more palatable, but there's no evidence for your statement.

Do an experiment:
Tell a woman to shut up. See how it works.
Do I have to say more?
