Paul, I apologize because I apparently misinterpreted what you were
trying to say in your post. I admit that I sort of glossed over this
paragraph from your original posting, which may most accurately describe
what you hoped to accomplish with it. If that is the case, then perhaps
we are saying the same thing about the 1 Timothy passage *if* the case
put forward by Ward is correct. For I now see that the examples that I
spent most of my time discussing in my response were probably there to
show the unlikeliness of a license for women to teach and hold authority
over men who are not their husbands *if* this passage does not
specifically treat that issue.

My statement is exactly what I meant. What I apparently missed was that
you were making the same point, and I misread the illustrations. And I
was surprised, because, in my initial reading of your post, I saw you
making just that type of reasoning. That's just not like what I had
seen in you in the past, so I reacted to it!
I'm sorry I took you to be making a case that you were not.
Paul
