Sorry, Phil, but Amy is right. And you just banished her because she's right. You couldn't finish her post because it was too close to the truth for you.
I don't even have to dignify that statement. First off I didn't banish Amy. I pretty told her she is off her rocker. Why I stopped reading the post was because she said I think I'm God.
If anything she thinks she is God.
Another thing Amy loves to do is twist things. She hasn't answered any of the questions I have asked her.
I also asked you folks to stop sticking up for one another let them fight their own battles with me.
Really Hoosier, why do you post to me. To aggravate me. To overwhelm me. I find it really interesting that nobody was posting during my two weeks off from school and now that I started school. The freaks start coming out.
Why to overwhelm me... Make my head race. Spin me out of control. Just stop it. Please, stop.

Oh, don't even go there, Phil, Mr. "Amateur Lay Theologian."
You are one twisted individual to throw that in my face.
Don't get into the literal context of teaching with the verse. I know the fruits of woman in the Church, and how they teach.
Amy isn't right. She is here to confuse me. You are all here to confuse me. You are not helping. Your causing little tid bit arguements that mean nothing.
Deaconess... Mostly Protestant term.
From the Catholic Encyclopedia: We cannot be sure that any formal recognition of deaconesses as an institution of consecrated women aiding the clergy is to be found in the New Testament. There is indeed the mention of Phebe (Romans 16:1), who is called diakonos, but this may simply mean, as the Vulgate renders it, that she was "in the ministry [i.e. service] of the Church", without implying any official status. Again, it is not improbable that the "widows" who are spoken of at large in I Timothy 5:3-10, may really have been deaconesses, but here again we have nothing conclusive.
