1 | Paul speaking of women in Corinth | Romans | EdB | 144485 | ||
I think this presents a sound reasoning to the 1 Corinthians 14 passage. 14:35. Informed listeners customarily asked questions during lectures, but it was considered rude for the ignorant to do so. Although by modern standards literacy was generally low in antiquity (less so in the cities), women were far less trained in the Scriptures and public reasoning than men were. Paul does not expect these uneducated women to refrain from learning (indeed, that most of their culture had kept them from learning was the problem). Instead he provides the most progressive model of his day: their husbands are to respect their intellectual capabilities and give them private instruction. He wants them to stop interrupting the teaching period of the church service, however, because until they know more, they are distracting everyone and disrupting church order.—Bible Background Commentary I heard others explain this to mean women should stay in submission to their husband and refrain from asking potentially embarrassing questions. Remember the husband was considered the head and teacher of his family. It would reflect badly on him if his wife (out ignorance or spite) asked a question on something the husband should have taught her on. I kind of like this last answer the most since clearly Paul made this a matter of wifely submission to her husband by the way he wrote it. I think there are other verses that clearly define what a pastor should be and this verse actually lends nothing to the discussion. EdB |

Thanks so much for clearing that up for me. I also believe that Paul was keeping order. Even today it seems as though pastors are still trying to keep order, which is good, I'm just saying it's more because of conflict, or someone wants things their way. It's sad that we all can't come together in fellowship no matter our religion.I believe that oneday we will all worship together. There will be no sides, only his. I can't wait! | ||||||

9-1-1 I hope you didn't jump to any conclusions from what I said. I merely gave what I believe to be is the best undestanding of the 1 Cor 14:33-35 passage. As I said the qualifications of a pastor are listed elsewhere in much greater detail. This passage 1 Cor 14 is dealing with church order and conduct, not who is qualified to be a pastor or not. EdB |

Yes I understand completely. I was merely trying to say that I see your point and I feel the same way. I believe that Paul was keeping order in the church. I guess I wanted to hear it from someone else. Like I said before I come from an old southern baptist church, now don't get me wrong, I am not judging other baptist. I am just telling you my experience. Women were made to be nothing more than homemakers and were to summit to their husbands. I do understand that if you are married to a GODLY man, then yes I say support your husband. I believe it should go both ways. I am a Christian, religion does not play a factor with me, my husband is still trying to find his way. I have to say that my husband supports me in my calling with the Lord. I'm not a pastor, I just lead Worship, but to me that's my calling and I will serve the Lord till he calls me home. | ||||||
