1 | women not allowed to be involved? | 1 Cor 14:34 | roviear | 53747 | ||
I have an email pal whose church is based strictly on this verse. The women are not allowed to speak during service, have any involvement in church matters, including ministry to other women or children, and must also keep silent during midweek services. Only men are allowed to bring problems or issues to the elders (the church doesn't have a pastor) once a year. In addition, the women (I believe even those with long hair) must wear headcoverings in the form of hats. Events that encourage fellowship among believers outside of those already established by the church is strongly discouraged. Even the music is a capella despite the fact that King David frequently celebrated with musical instruments. How can I minister to my sister in Christ whose husband likes this church but is sympathetic to the fact that his wife cannot freely worship? She feels stifled to say the least and receives absolutely no edification from such an enclosed environment. I suggested that she, through her husband, approach the elders, but that is not encouraged at all. What scriptural references do I use to wake her and her husband up to following God's wishes for the entire family without offending the husband? While her husband is working on this, I also want to be an encouragement to her to continue submitting to her husband's wishes, any references for that? | ||||||

Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Jews are still Jews, Gentiles are still Gentiles and men and women are still men and women, what Christ abolished is discrimination for such differences. everyone who comes to Christ must come the same way: through faith and repentance | ||||||
