I believe it is “ thou shalt not suffer to PREACH.” With your education I’d think you’d know that? Or tell me if I am in error.

Ordained office and church authority are not for women. Scripture is clear. But we can teach other women and children and also, in a non authoritative way, men.

I can tell a man the best flour to use. I can teach him to read. I might even explain the doctrine of election to him, certainly share the gospel. But not in a bossy way.

The word used is:

To teach
διδάσκειν (didaskein) Verb - Present Infinitive Active
Strong's Greek 1321: To teach, direct, admonish. A prolonged form of a primary verb dao; to teach.

I agree. The office of pastor is a position of authority and is not one for women. Now...if the congregation was ONLY women and children... :o)
