Hi, gmsmith101! Not wanting to contradict... there were woman who had possitions of power and authority in the secular environment... the command is directed to the religious environment: the woman is to yield her authority first to her father, then to her husband, once married; back again to her father if widowed or divorced. When we read the Scriptures we find that there were many females attending to Christ and later to the disciples--some were wealthy or unattached! God Bless! Angel |
