Scripture is not interpreted . It is revelation from the teacher the Holy Spirit.
one's emotions can be to the decision making process

Ask God.It varies from situation to situation.If you are not sure, follow Paul's adminition.The big issue is whether you are clear enough about what God says in His Word that your wife even in the role of teaching remain in subjection, and if she cannot, she is going to have alot of emotional baggage to deal with along with whatever she deals with already.One BIG problem i have seen often is that women, being multitaskers, often focus on the group and not God when teaching.Men on the other hand, have little trouble with this.If a woman has a strong urge to teach a mixed group, never let her. Women with women and/or children works a whole lot better.CIAO!gActs 20:32
Brenda,I sense in your post a woman who has experienced abuse by a trusted(?) male. I am so sorry for all the females who have been violated as such. This is a tragedy of serious proportions. It will impact a victim for life. What compounds the tragedy is that it was inflicted by the gender whose purpose is to protect the 'weaker' person but instead have used her to satisfy a moment's pleasure. Brenda, I just wish you and other victims would be able to get beyond the wounds and allow the Holy Spirit to heal those hurts. One cannot undo the past but one can let go and trust in the WORD, whether we understand all the commands of not. We must learn to be obedient whether we like this command or no. We live by faith - doing what God says and trust Him for the results. Our attitude towards males and their God given roles must be upheld, supported, encouraged by females regardless of our negative experiences with them in the past. Was my dad perfect? My grandfather, whom I adored? Or, my bishop-Uncle? No, absolutely NO. Males are fallen humans like we and they have weaknesses to deal with, just like we do. We cannot look to them as perfect humans without the possibility of failure. We fail and we expect others and God to forgive us, do we not? Should we not also extend this mercy and grace to them as well? Sister, may I suggest that if there are males in your circle of family or acquaintances who abuse females that you distant yourself from them. You can not fix them. And cry out to God that he will in his mercy and grace restore to you that what has been lost. And please do not hold all males responsible for the failings of some. God bless you, Brenda....ginnyrose

You know when I look at the times that Jesus address issues with women he was always on the side of the woman. The woman with the issue of blood , she was unclean when she touched Jesus but she received her healing and Jesus said not a word about it about the fact that she was unclean. The woman at the well asked him why he was talking to me for I am a Samaritan and Jews are not allowed to associate with Samaritans. The experts in the law said is it lawful to heal people on the sabbath . He responds with ," which one of you would not pull your oxen out of the ditch on the sabbath" The women caught in adultery should have been stoned according to the law but Jesus ends up saying neither do I condemn you. When a prostitute pours an alabaster box on Jesus . Judas protested but Jesus approved. When questioned why his disciples work on the sabbath Jesus says he is the Lord of the sabbath. He also says if you would have known what this means , I desire mercy not sacrifice you would not of pronounced the innocent guilty. He referred to David when he was on the run from King Saul and he ate the consecrated bread. Jesus said mercy faithfulness and love for God was the more important matters of the law. It seems that this teaching the way it is being presented is legalistic and oppressive. Jesus said that we were not to use our authority to lord over people and it seems to me that this is what many people are saying. I mean a woman can not even share a word in church. You mean as a pastor I can not ask my wife to share a giving teaching or share a revelation. God has used my wife on several occasions to teach me about a situation that was coming up in our lives through a dream. Because she is filled with the Holy Spirit , the Teacher. The dream came to past and I know the devil was not warning me about what he was planning to do. This feels like bondage not the perfect law that gives freedom, Love. I would rather have my wife share a word than most of the pastors I see on TV that are teaching false doctrine . If a woman can be a judge and a prophet why can't she teach? What about the great commission go make desciples of all nations . Does that includes women ? Are the to make disciples of all? The command says all.
