Rebuke is a two way street. I am not agaist reading material by women. it is the teaching mature Christian men issue that a woman is not to do. in so allowig her to teach older men even from a web page can be dangerously close to desobediance.
always show that the verses you quote are evedent in your own life otherwise you may look like a hypocrate. by teaching waht you yourself don't practice. that is a key to Pastoral authority. I know a man he is a great bible teacher (when he gets it right) but he doesn't practice what he preaches. His son calls him a hyposcrate to his face for it both his wife and daughter live like worldlings and not Christians at all.
I wasn't questioning what you stand on. But what comes from your heart posted on these forums. a man is revealed by the words he speaks. I want you only to filter your heart a little more so you don't offend. rebuke and admonisment can be offensive to a sinner. But can be a offence to people who are not just as easily.
just grow in His Likeness by considering others better than yourself.
