You can't tell a woman who is called by God to teach that she cannot teach the Word of God... So I think the distinction is that there's a difference between the authority of a pastor and a Bible teacher.

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that if a woman feels a calling from God to teach the Word of God, it should not be disregarded. The distinction made here is between the authority of a pastor, traditionally viewed as a role primarily held by men, and a Bible teacher, which could potentially be more inclusive. The quote suggests that while societal norms might limit women from certain roles, the ability to teach is not one of them, as long as the distinction is made between the authority of a pastor and a Bible teacher.
