1 | Evidence that women's role has changed? | Matt 28:10 | 39894 | |||
In 1 Corithians 14:34, it says, "the women should keep quiet in the meetings. It is a disgraceful thing for a woman to speak in a church meeting." A bible study group I am in is studying this passage, and we are confused! Is there any textual evidence in the Bible or elsewhere to back up the argument that gender roles can change with time? I know plenty of girls who contribute greatly to Bible discussions. Please help me out! | ||||||
2 | Evidence that women's role has changed? | Matt 28:10 | SpreadWord | 39895 | ||
The way my pastor has explained this is that in the Corithian church the men were seated at the front and the women were way in the back. There were no sound systems like they have today, so the apostle would speak, and the women would yell up to their husbands, "What did he say?" This was disrupting the meeting, so Paul instructed for the men to relay the information to the women at home. One indication of Jesus' command to women to proclaim the Gospel is found in Matthew 28:10. It was women who met Jesus first after resurrection, and He instructed them to go tell His brethren that He was risen. Galatians 3:28 makes it clear that "in Christ" there is neither male nor female. Luke 2:36 speaks of a prophetess named Anna. One role of a prophet is to speak into the lives of other believers. It is doubtful that the apostle Paul would be saying to silence Anna, or other female believers who had something to contribute. | ||||||
