It's kind of interesting how out of all the books of the New Testament, Christians find those of Paul the most problematic, while historians would find his to be the most reputable, as they were the earliest. They also present Jesus far differently than in later books, as his miracles were far fewer and less impressive, rather than the superhuman miracle machine he was presented to be in later books.
Anyways, here's one more verse to explain why women should obviously not be pastors/preachers/priets
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
There's absolutely no biblical argument to allow women to even speak in church, much less teach men.
I think people should have some knowledge of scripture. Not because it is intrinsically important, but because there are unfortunately a great deal of people who find it so. I guess you should attempt to learn about it by any means of your choosing (unless upsetting the supposed man in the sky is something you are concerned about.)
Nah, you should know about scripture, but also lots more than scripture. Even the Pharisees could quote scripture all day. :P Read the Church Fathers for historical context and what the text really means. Your parish probably offers adult bible study classes, which are awesomesauce. IDK about RC, but EO churches have classes for inquirers and catechumen. Regular Orthodox also go to them too because you learn things you might not have learned growing up or just forgot about or never understood, etc.
LOL Well, there are women Godmothers to catechumen and some other niche subjects that women can teach men. My godmother teaches iconography, for example. Since you were a "sponsor", I assume your role was similar to what an Orthodox godparent/sponsor does-help catechumen prepare for baptism/chrismation-yes? That's normal. ~hugs~

Well, he's $#@!ty at it because he'll come home and tell me something and not have any of the story. For example, a girl I used to work with stopped in not too long ago and told him she had a baby. he relays the information and I asked if it was a boy or girl and Mr A said, You know I don't ask those questions.
Proverbs 21:19 - It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
Proverbs 21:16
16 The man that wandereth out of the way of understanding shall remain in the congregation of the dead.
“The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found. The most dangerous thing you can do in the immediate future will be to give yourself up unconsciously to the influences which are definitely present.” ~ Rudolf Steiner
Isaiah 3:12 (KJV)
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.

1 Timothy 2:9 King James Version (KJV)
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

This is a judgement against Judah about how things go sideways in the absence of obedience to God. Read the whole chapter and you'll see that. Israel went into captivity because of disobedience.

“I’m a doctor. That’s a baby.”~~~Dr. Manny Sethi
Yes, I realize that.
That was my point.
A nation, a society, a people, are bound to be judged when they have gone astray.
And a sign of having gone astray, according to Isaiah and the bible, is a society ruled by "little tyrants" and women.
Men are just as guilty, if not more so, for having abdicated our authority to keep a proper lid on things.
This is a failing and sin of ours since Adam.
“The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found.

Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJV)
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Also since you chose Isaiah he considered his wife to be a prophetess.
Isaiah 8:3
And I went unto the prophetess; and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me, Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz.
