1 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | There | 26086 | ||
Thanks Nolan, I don't think you appear rigid or legalistic for your view. Perhaps the reason is that I don't think women were to be elders of the church either. And the church was to be "led" if you will, by the elders. Not one man, but a group of men that had become wise in the faith. But I do think, while being under the authority of the elders, many women spoke in the churches -- whether the Lord gave them "words of wisdom", or "prophecies", or "interpretation of prophecy", or "teachings". I would suggest that it was probably those elders that brought the issue to Paul in the first place. Possibly because the women would not listen to them either... which could also take the issue back to "submission". But anyway, I think it was the misuse of the women's words that Paul was admonishing them for. Not for speaking, but for not doing it properly. And since they couldn't do it properly, then they should just be quiet. My opinion. God bless. |

2 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | Makarios | 26108 | ||
Greetings There! Thank you for your opinion.. You have obviously put a lot of thought and gone into much depth with what Paul said in 1 Cor. 14:34, and you've done a good job. Was Paul admonishing the women for their misuse of words? Quite possibly, since he speaks about other things of that nature in other places, that may not directly be related, but are pretty close. One example is gossiping or 'busybodies' as an example of 'misbehavior' or misusing words. Good stuff! - Nolan |
