    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    But do you mean "refute" or "contradict" - what Paul's comment about women being silent in church may mean is worth discussion but my question was only about what you meant in your post when you used the word "refutes".

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    Yes, Paul probably means that women ought not disrupt corporate worship but that would be true of men also if his intention were only to write against disturbing orderly worship but since he singles out women for this rebuke it may have more meaning than your post suggests.

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    do you mean "refute" or "contradict" because refute implies a valid argument that overthrows one's opponent's position whereas contradiction does not imply that the argument is valid nor that it overthrows one's opponent's position but only that it is opposed to his/her argument.

    You're not the pope so quoting yourself and asking if it has some implications about papal infallibility looks weird.

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    Yes, you are right that the church is cast as the bride of Christ but that is about the church as a community rather than being about individuals within the church. Paul tells women to be silent in church.

    Do believe enough?

    I saw a critique of the "prosperity gospel" made by a comedian (an Englishman on USA tv) named John Oliver. He uses bad language liberally so I will not link the video clip here. But it got me wondering if folk here believe the messages preached by men and women like Kenneth Copeland and Gloria...

    Trying to find the right church

    There is a principle that I put above the ones in the list. If whatever teaching you receive inclines you towards treating other people badly then stop following that inclination. If that necessitates rejecting the teaching then reject it.

    How often does Christianity make people worse?

    The "it" that one must stop is "treating other people badly". Yes, re-evaluation of one's interpretation of the teaching is important. Not a whole lot of people who treat others badly re-evaluate their behaviour.
