not my argument
if God called here to teach
OT, not NT, so that argument want work, for the woman Lydia, put that misconception to rest. Acts 16:14 "And a certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul."
Acts 16:15 "And when she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house, and abide there. And she constrained us."
so that is disproven,
ERROR, I suggest you read these two previous post of mind,

Now, lets dig into the qualification of a "BISHOP", meaning BIBLICAL qualification.
1 Timothy 3:1 "This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work."
1 Timothy 3:2 "A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;"
1 Timothy 3:3 "Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;"
1 Timothy 3:4 "One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;"
1 Timothy 3:5 "(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)"
1 Timothy 3:6 "Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil."
1 Timothy 3:7 "Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil."
the only biblical qualification for a bishop is in verse 2, "apt to teach;". the rest of the qualification, is social, or civil in nature.
APT to Teach,
Apt, 1 Fit; suitable, 2. Having a tendency. 3. Inclined. 4. Ready; quick; used of the mental powers; as, a pupil apt to learn; an opt wit.
5. Qualified; fit.
so clearly, the only ecclesiastical or biracial qualification for a bishop is to be FIT to TEACH. the rest are social qualifications.
so the qualification for a Bishop is to TEACH, well what? answer, Acts 20:28 "Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood."
FEED the FLOCK of GOD, where has we heard this before? answer, Jeremiah 3:15 "And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding."
there it is plain as day. when one is guide by the Holy Ghost, one then can see clearly,
now my source for "APT", the definition, is the Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary of American English

Unfortunately there are wolves in sheep clothing, you shall know the by their fruits
Those that are sealed by the Holy Spirit, will gladly submit in obedience to Gods words of truth
Those that aren't sealed will move in selfish gain, in rebellious defiance, in disobedience as is seen.
Matthew 7:13-16KJV
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

NO need to, it's not a BIBLICAL, nor a ecclesiastical qualification to be a BISHOP.
see, this is the ignorance or the LACK of KNOWLEDGE I speak of. Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."
if any have a LACK of KNOWLEDGE, Proverbs 4:7 "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding."
that's why God's people are destroyed, and have division, no WISDOM of God.

101G Another new member, joining (Thursday) a few days ago, jumping right into the thick of things? 
Mark 16:17 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;"
now, would you like to comment on Post 1384?

"Properly following" your posts? Who are you, the pope? Read the first page of the thread; I've been around this a bit longer than you, and I'm well aware of the relevant passages of Scripture. I asked you to quote it, because I know quite well that it doesn't say what you claimed that it said. However, as with most of those who decry female leadership, you are apparently quite willing to claim "synonymous meaning" when convenient for you, and ignore or reject important context because it doesn't support your interpretation.
