1 | What is wrong w/Women speaking in church | 1 Cor 14:34 | Tricha | 75883 | ||
Their is a pastor claiming to be a Christian Baptist. But he claims women are not to speak in the churces. He says when Jezebel a women spoke it was a disaster and that is why women should not speak and in the Bible it says women should keep quit. I want to know why??? | ||||||
2 | What is wrong w/Women speaking in church | 1 Cor 14:34 | KBurgee | 75884 | ||
Yes, I know what you're talking about. It's referenced in 1 Corinthians 14: 34-35 where Paul says that women should keep silent in church. It's not right to compare Jezebel (who was actively against God) to a woman who speaks in church. I think that comparison is extreme, although in some way I can see his point (I'll explain in a second). Paul's statement (from what I understand) was because back then, women weren't educated, and their questions would interrupt and thus disrupt a service. He wanted women to keep silent and any questions they had could be asked outside of the service to their husbands. I guess the pastor's comparison comes from disrupting God's work (either it be a service to worship Him or to try to deny Him worship completely), but God has used women to do His works. I hope this helps - I myself am eager as well to learn more. |
