1 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | retxar | 26225 | ||
Maybe I said that wrong before. It would upset the male leadership in a church because it would require the women to exercise authority over the men. The meaning of "judge" in 1Cor 2:15 is to discern and scrutinize for one's self. The meaning of "judge" here is to decide what the church will allow, accept, and receive. Big difference. retxar |

2 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | There | 26298 | ||
There is a difference, but I don't understand the difference to mean one is singular while the other is for a group. In 1Cor. 14:29 the word translated "judge" is "diakrino" meaning to separate thoroughly, i.e. to withdraw from, or oppose, fig. to discriminate (by impl. decide), or hesitate: -- contend, make (to) differ (-ence), discern, doubt, judge, be partial, stagger, waver. So... how do you understand the difference in words to imply that it only speaks of the men? Or the elders? Or who? In your opinion, what is being judged in verse 29? The prophet or the prophecy? Just curious. I still apparently do not understand where you're coming from, huh? :) God bless. |

The prophecy of the one prophesying is what is being judged in 1Cor 14:29. The context is what demands a different interpretation than 1Cor 2:15, not the different Greek word used for “judge”. The context in 1Cor 14:29 is talking about the judging by those in an authoritative role in a church service. I personally believe, according to scripture (1Tim 2:12), this would exclude women. Either way, this would not, and could not include anybody and everybody, agreed? The context of 1Cor 2:15 is speaking to each and every Christian. With the help of the Holy Spirit, ALL Christians are to be spiritually discerning. 1Co 2:14 But the natural MAN (not men) does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to HIM (not them) ; nor can HE (not they) know them, because they (the things of God) are spiritually discerned (not naturally discerned). 1Co 2:15 But HE (not they) who is spiritual (walks in the Spirit) judges all things, yet HE (not they) HIMSELF (not themselves) is rightly judged by no one. 1Co 2:16 For "who has known the mind of the LORD that HE (not they) may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ. The Holy Spirit speaks to ALL believers who walk after the Spirit and not the flesh (Rom 8:1). But not all believers (male or female) are called to be in an authoritative role in the church. Please re-read and understand my originally post you responded to. I was only giving another possible meaning for 1Cor 14:34. I am not convinced that Paul was speaking of women judging prophesy here. I was only presenting a possible interpretation that may explain a verse that troubles many. retxar |
