I challenge anyone who thinks a female preacher/pastor is usurping authority to look up the word usurp (in a standard dictionary of English, not a biased dictionary of biblical words), and present a sound and consistent explanation of how she is doing so, without making the circular argument of "Scripture says so".

You're not understanding the context at all. In 1Tim, the historical context as well as the scripture context is showing this is about personal conduct in public & marriage relationships, not holding offices.
1Cor is about women's conduct in the church. Both cities had Temples to female dieties where the place of women was prominent, pompous, & prideful. Paul was dealing with special circumstances, so special instructions was needed.
In some churches today, If Paul was alive he would be telling men & women to wear modest apparel(no big bling), drive modest cars & live in modest homes.

A Bishop/Pastor is to be (A Married Man) it's that simple, Women Can't Be Bishops/Pastors
1 Timothy 3:1-5KJV
1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
A Woman is to learn in silence, with all subjection to the man, simple.
1 Timothy 2:9-15KJV
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Women are to be silent in the church service, God isn't the author of confusion
1 Corinthians 14:33-35KJV
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church

Firstly, you're stubborn, and not in a good way. You repeat the same thing without engaging with the text or with the challenges presented to you.
Secondly, you're engaging in eisegesis. The word "pastor" simply does not appear in any of the passages you quoted.
Thirdly, you're arrogant, as you seem to think that everyone who disagrees with you is stupid, and has not read those passages many times.

Firstly: I'm not stubborn, but unwavering to the truth of God's words, and the liberal positions you hold, a woman cant be the Leader/Bishop/Pastor of a Church, simple
Secondly: A Bishop is the leader of a Church, in modern day terms a Pastor.
Thirdly: Its your "Opinion" on arrogance, my observation and opinion regarding your postings would be the same
Your claim of myself regarding others as "Stupid" is false, you dont have a clue who I am.
