You would then say that single men could not be deacons because they are not the husband of one wife?  If single people can be deacons then...
could not Phoebe rule her household well as a single person, like Lydia Acts 16:15?
You would say that Rom 16:1 does NOT say that Phoebe was a "deaconess"
that is, did not hold the office of deaconess?

Brethren,

That senile thing someone mentioned fits me! I messed up big time in the
last response. Permit the soon to be elderly person to correct himself
if possible.

1 Timothy 3:8-13. Note Verse 12: (1) she could not be the wife of one
husband, (2) she couldn't be the ruler of her household."

Obviously, Phoebe could have been the wife of one husband! But no way
could she be the husband of one wife!
