That pesky verse of scripture...

1 TIMOTHY 2:11-14 - "Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression."

It's quite possible that Paul was referring to TEACHING AND AURTHORTY when he wrote "Let a woman learn in silence with all submission" because the lead up content, the words leading to "Let a woman learn in silence with all submission," refers to teaching and authority; ergo, women are not completely restricted from ALL SPEAKING in church, but ARE restricted from any teaching and any authority over a man in a church.

Either way you look at it, women are NOT permitted to be pastors in authority over men or teach men. There is no way around 1 Timothy 2:11-14.

As one person mentioned; "what do you do if you have a woman for a "pastor? Find another church, because you don't have a pastor."

Is that restriction for all churches? YES, Paul wrote that is was...

1 Corinthians 14:33-35 - "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 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. 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."

NOTE: "as in all churches of the saints. Let your women keep silence in the churches:" ..."AS IN ALL CHURCHES OF THE SAINTS"

It could NOT be clearer.
