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: Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 |
Bible Note: I wonder why a woman judging spiritual things would upset the male leadership in a church, since everyone is told to do that (1Cor. 2:15), if they truly are spiritual (1Cor. 3:1; 14:37)? So perhaps those women were not truly spiritual, but yet carnal in their opinions and that is why Paul told them to be silent. Something that comes to mind too is 1Cor. 14:39 where Paul sums up what he has been talking about earlier I think. "Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophecy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues." Perhaps the women were objecting to those things... and Paul rebuked them for it? God bless. |
