I see no problem with women teaching. In fact, that is one of the requirements set down for older women, which is to aid the younger women in understanding the Gospel.

The problem occurs when a woman takes authority over other believers. Teachers have a certain level of authority, but not complete authority. That authority rests with the Pastor of the Church.

A good example of a woman in a teaching ministry who is still obeying the limits set by Scripture upon women is Beth Moore.

“The problem occurs when a woman takes authority over other believers. Teachers have a certain level of authority, but not complete authority. That authority rests with the Pastor of the Church.”

This term authority is troubling for me. I attend a specific church because I believe in the message of the church regarding ministries, mission, etc.... The Pastor, as such has no authority over me, only God carries that authority.
