AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Corinthians 14:34 ¶ the women should be silent in the churches, for they are not authorized to speak, but are to take a subordinate place, as the Law says. |
Subject: Women speak in church? |
Bible Note: You said "you think" Paul was addressing a specific situation at Corinth. Yet, Paul said "let your women keep silence in the churches."--not church, but churches. He goes on to say "it is a shame for women to speak in the church." How else can this be taken. I'm sure the Holy Spirit assumed some would say what you are saying so He inspired Paul to also tell Timothy, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp athority over the man, but to be in silence"(I Tim. 2;11,12). There is absolutely no way to take this but that women are to be in silence. Paul is here writing to a young preacher instructing him how to act in any church. The man is the head of the woman(I Cor. 11:2,3). This is not popular, but, it is Scriptural. These liberal times that we live in are the problem. |
