Well, I'm aware of some heretical teaching that SOME Protestants adhere to, but I for one am Protestant in part to avoid false doctrine, as well. I thought the point of "sola scriptura" as a mocking term was to highlight how Protestants adhere TOO MUCH to doctrine they can trace to the Bible.

If you don't want to get into it, that's fine. But we're called to correct in love, not…"mess" with others, so excuse me if I didn't find the humor in your earlier comment.

Yup. And go ahead and throw 1 Corinthians at me. I'll duck. Jesus appeared to Mary Magdeline, and told her to go and tell the others. He didn't tell her to keep silent. If Jesus didn't think that women could share the Word, he wouldn't have appeared MM. The Church in Corinth had women that were spreading blasphemy. It isn't the same.

And you aren't going to paint ECO with a PCUSA brush. They aren't remotely the same. So, don't try to set that trap. I'll spare you the time.

Going and telling others Christ is risen is evangelizing in a basic sense. It is not teaching. Women are called to evangelize today as well. We all are. This is very different than liturgical teaching.

Men are leaders of their family, both biological and spiritual. It is simply a fact. We can see this in the oft cited study that showed when dad takes his faith seriously, there is very small drop off in the adult faith of their children when compared to when both parents take it seriously. But when only mom is taking the children to church, the drop off in religious retention is severe.

Men are always the leaders. Always. When men choose not to lead, they are still leading. They're just leading their family to heartache and misery. This goes for non-religious behavior as well https://thefatherlessgeneration.wordpress.com/statistics/.

Women/mother's are incredibly important. Their role should never be diminished. But their role is different.
