My stance..please read till the end: Generally, anyone can teach anyone Col 3:16..but when it comes to mentoring, let a woman mentor another woman. and let man mentor another man..Titus 2:1-6......as a couple such as Aquila and Priscilla, can mentor a single person(Apollos) or mentor other couples. Roman 16 says that the gentile churches are grateful to Priscilla and Aquila..When it comes to being a pastor/deacon/overseer of a church, it is the responsibility of a married man(according to 1 Timothy 3) and not a woman. I also think that even Paul can't be a pastor of a church because he is either unmarried or widower..but he was preaching outside the church where he stayed (Acts 28:30-31)...I believe a woman can also preach or teach outside the church just like Paul did..examples four unmarried daughters who were prophetess in book of acts, Anna in Luke, Deborah in judges 4...a note: though Deborah name is not mentioned in the NT, Barak name is mentioned in the Hebrews 11..Barak is identified only with Deborah in chapters 4 and 5 of Judges...If one has to explain about Barak in Hebrews 11, they can not ignore Deborah..moreover even Rahab's name is mentioned about in Hebrews and James....in 1 Peter 3, women are said to take the examples of the past "women"(plural). Sarah is one such woman...what about Deborah,Huldah, Anna?....moreover Roman 16 says that Phoebe is a servant of a church...another translation says Phoebe is a deaconess.......I have couple of questions. Does prohibitions in 1 Cor 11, 1 Cor 14, 1 Timothy 2 addresses only married couples or women and men in general???because as for as my perception, the context implies married couples only(with respect to Adam and Eve)
