Does 1 Timothy 2:11-12 forbid the ordination of women?

Hey all...

This question has just recently been interesting me, and although the answer seems straightforward enough, I don't want to forget that this is a hotly debated issue in the modern church and hence don't want to jump to any possibly legalistic conclusions. I won't be posting my own thoughts just yet on here since I would prefer to hear some more opinions and complete a more ordinate amount of study on the matter, so I hope to see some of you in the comments for some helpful discussion!

Here's 1 Timothy 2:11-12:

"Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence."

One must keep in mind passages like Acts 18:26, where it is obvious that women are allowed to teach/correct men in a seemingly private/personal setting.

Also, in Acts 16:14, 40, we can see that an apostolic pattern for home bible studies and prayer times was set by a woman named Lydia, who was actually Paul's first European convert.

I'd really appreciate your thoughts! Thanks!
