I quoted Scriptures that explicitly teach that women are not to "teach or exercise authority over a man." You cited no Scripture that speaks of women preaching in the church. Paul wrote what he did because he was an inspired apostle (1 Corinthians 14:37), not because he was influenced by his culture. About the "church in Lydias house," all we know is that Paul met in that woman's house with the brethren before departing Philippi (Acts 16:40). The Scriptures don't say who was "heading that up." But I do know that if the congregation in Philippi was following the New Testament pattern, it wasn't Lydia. And no, I am not a Baptist. I am a Christian. Obviously mistaken?

About the “church in Lydias house,” all we know is that Paul met in that woman’s house with the brethren before departing Philippi (Acts 16:40). The Scriptures don’t say who was “heading that up.” But I do know that if the congregation in Philippi was following the New Testament pattern, it wasn’t Lydia.

And no, I am not a Baptist. I am a Christian.

Probably a Baptist. God will use whoever is willing and obedient and He has anointed many women as ministers. He once even had to use a Donkey (Ass) because the man he wanted to use wasn't willing to be used. And yes, you need to study the culture of Paul's time period further and better to understand why he wrote what he did. How about the church in Lydias house? Who do you think was heading that up?
