Dear Stacy, You asked, "How did women contribute to the problem?" Based on the context, by contributing to the confusion (v33), failing to be silent (v34a), and not being in proper submission to the leaders of the church (v34b) and their husbands (v35). You also asked about "God-given roles." I would recommend the "Danvers Statement on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood" as rightly summarizing these Biblical doctrines -- it is annotated. See http://www.cbmw.org/Danvers You asked about the meaning of 1 Corinthians 14:35. I think verse 35 is fairly clear given the whole thrust of the chapter -- context is always crucial. Paul is recommending that wives first seek spiritual instruction from their husbands. Doing otherwise was manifesting a fleshly, unrighteous pride, an attitude inconsistent with the leading of the Holy Spirit -- i.e., these folks were looking more like lost people than saved people. This, in turn, fails to convey the Gospel, but brings shame to the woman, her husband, the elders, and the church as a whole. It even violated the third commandment. You see, we preach the Gospel with more than just words. We preach the Gospel in all that we do -- public or private. In Him, Doc |
