Acts 18:26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto [them], and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.

Not only Aquila, but Priscilla as well taught Apollos, a man, in the synagogue. There is no verse to say they were wrong, nor is there a verse that says they should have been reprimanded.

Women can teach, women can preach. They are just not allowed to usurp authority.

God placed many women throughout the Word of God in positions to teach. One I can think of is Mary, who was instructed to 'Go, and tell my disciple's that I have risen..."

Mary's witnessing the risen Christ to the Disciple's was certainly a type of teaching.

I might add, that a woman who obeys Christ and tells others of His love is a type of teaching. Women certainly can teach.

Scripture declares that women are to learn in silence, yes, but what good is learning if the one learning is not allowed to use that which she has learned to educate others?

If one studies carefully, the command for women to keep silent was not to silence the truth they had, but rather to keep down dissension in the Church. This is why Paul went on to say if they had questions let them ask of their husbands at home. These women were disrupting the services with their questions... that is the only reason they were forbidden to speak.

The four daughters of Philip prophesied in Acts... to men. And yet, they were not remprimanded for prophesying to men.

There are many others who carry the Word given to them by the Lord. He did not give them that Word just so they could zip their lips and say nothing.

When man preaches false doctrines, if there is a woman who has the truth, God holds her responsible for showing that man the truth so he can begin teaching it.

One had better listen to both men and women where the Word of God is concerned. Weigh what they are speaking against that which is written in the Word of God. If what either is saying lines up with the Word of God, then accept it no matter what sex that person is. If what they are teaching is contrary to Scripture, reject it.

Quite possible God has put that woman or man in your path to set you straight concerning His Word.
