Bible Note: Ver. 5. "But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth", Not that a woman was allowed to pray publicly in the congregation, and much less to preach or explain the word, for these things were not permitted them: see "1Co 14:34,35 1Ti 2:12" but it designs any woman that joins in public worship with the minister in prayer, and attends on the hearing of the word preached, or sings the praises of God with the congregation, as we have seen, the word prophesying signifies. This was written by a commentator (John Gill--highly respected by the way) between 1746 and 1766. As you can see, he plainly explains that singing is considered prophesying. In Christ, as far as being saved, we are all one. But, there is a difference between the sexes. I Cor. 11:1-3 is quite plain on that. Different instructions are given to men than are given to women. You can't take Gal. 3:28 and bend it to say what you want it to. It's simply saying that salvation is for both sexes in every race--no respecter of persons with God. This has nothing to do with being stuck on myself as you rudely imply. I simply desire to follow the CLEAR teaching of the Word of God. God bless. |
