1 | "women keep silent in the churches" | 1 Cor 14:34 | Ronaldo | 65637 | ||
I understand Galatians 3:28 to mean that both male and female belong together in one church of Jesus Christ. To take it to mean that there is no longer any sexual difference is reading in what is not there. There would be no mother and father roles. If we had to take the "all one", as it is misapplied, it would lead to an extreme woman's lib position. It would also be saying that God made a mistake in giving the different sexes different gifts and personalities. It would be saying that the Gospel does away with the distinctives that God created. To quote this verse in the discussion of church order is to take it out of context. However, I think that some weight should be given to 1 Corinthians 11:5 which allows a woman to prophecy when she displays the sign of authority. Although some feel that the latter context is outside a church service, the matter of authority is definitely in view. Seeking fo balance. |

2 | "women keep silent in the churches" | 1 Cor 14:34 | prayon | 65639 | ||
Greetings Ronaldo, I agree, all those who are one in Christ are one with each other. It doesn't matter whether one is male or female - we are all one in Christ Jesus. I in no way promote women's lib where God's word is concerned. (I do however support women's lib in equal pay for the same job ect. :o) ) All flesh in Joel 2:28 does indicates all people will receive the Holy Spirit. One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is preaching/pastor. This gift can and is given to women. Unfortunetly, many women pastors were not given that gift, but then many men pastors weren't either. prayon |
