Filthy Lucre. 1Peter 5:2, 1Timothy 6:10

1Timothy 2:9-14
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

Paul is teaching his son in the faith, Timothy, how women should carry themselves within the church. Paul admonished them, because this is what the LORD instructed, that they were to dress modestly, and not ostentatiously, drawing attention to themselves. Instead, they were to draw attention to themselves with their good works. Paul went on to say that women were to sit down in church and learn; they were not to "usurp authority" over men. Handling the Word of God in the church setting is the most authoritarian thing a person can do. That role is reserved for men. God is the all wise, all knowing God. God knows that the person who gave in to the serpent in the garden has the propensity to be deceived very easily, and He does not want deception being disseminated within the church. This is not popular theology within the church today, but this is sound doctrinal theology.

Women have enough to do without moving into the role that is strictly designed for men. I cannot imagine being all that I am as God has designed, and taking on the role that God has designed for someone else!!! Women who pretend to be pastors and Bible teachers in the pulpit are being disobedient to God and they will reap the consequences of that disobedience. God was displeased with the church at Thyatira for allowing women to take the pulpit, and He says so in Revelation 2:20: "Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols."
