Kay Arthur: study material for a pastor

I've heard a report that a pastor uses Kay Arthur's Bible study material for his sermons. This is wrong on so many levels. But this shows, however, another reason why these high profile/celebrity women teachers end up violating Scripture--- not just because they are actively teaching both men and women in their conferences/seminars, and on radio and tv, but because men use them to learn and teach churches, which Scripture prohibits. In other words, Kay Arthur is having authority over men because of her "ministry"; not that she can control who uses her matieral--but she does appeal to the masses, not specificuall women but men and women, as Beth Moore does, unlike the lesser known Martha Peace for instance who specifically keeps to teaching women.

1Tim. 2: 11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women  will be saved  through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
