Yeah, but "yara" has an even stronger connotation than that, which you seem to ignore, such as shooting someone with an arrow!

I agree in terms of the definition and context of "yara," and that is my understanding of passages like these, as I have said many times. The problem is that you use a more watered down definition of teaching and using that definition, you attempt to argue that women should not discuss Scriptures. Daniel wrote: > HOW !#&(*&@# <censored> IS THAT TEACHING DOCTRINE? The phrase "teaching doctrine" is not found in the Bible. The word "doctrine" in the New Testament is equivalent to "teaching." So you keep throwing around a phrase that to me is very redundant and without meaning. You basically keep talking about "teaching teaching." Please define in a Biblical manner what "teaching doctrine" is. Certainly women should be able to discuss Scriptures, and even teach them in the modern sense of what we mean by teach, which is really sharing a viewpoint and understanding. This should be done in submission to men, which is the real force of the passages you have quoted. The passages are about authority, not teaching per se, but authority might be exercised in teaching and that is why it mentions teaching. Peace be with you.
