Bible Question:
YOU STILL SEEM TO STRUGGLE AT THE SCRIPTURES,1COR 11:5 IS A WOMAN BY HER SELF NOT SINGING.JOHN GILL RESPECTED BY WHO. HE IS THE ONLY ONE I KNOW THAT INTERPRETS PROPHESIETH AS SINGING. GREEK 4395 TO FORETELL EVENTS , WORK IN THE PROPHETIC,DEVINE INSPIRATION. PHEBE IS A TEACHER ROMANS 16:1 DEACONESS.THIS IS THE GREEK WORD FOR SERVANT HERE IN OUR NEWER TESTAMENT ,YOUR SHORT MINDED ON THIS ACCOUNT. UNTIL THEY WERE TAUGHT THEY REMAINED SILENT, HOWEVER ONCE THEY LEARNED THEY TAUGHT.AS THE ROMANS WERE TOLD BY PAUL TO ASSIST HER,ROMANS 16:2 IN WHATEVER BUISNESS SHE HAD NEED OF.26 And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.Acts 18:26 (KJV) AS YOU CAN SEE THEY PLURAL EXPOUNDED THE WORD OF GOD MORE PERFECTLY |
Bible Answer: But, it say's nowhere that they did this in public. And you'll find no Scripture anywhere whatsoever to say they did this in public. How can you reconcile your opinions with such plain Scriptures. "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."(I Tim. 2:11,12). There is absolutely no way to interpret that but one. All Scripture that you quote MUST harmonize with that. "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also sayeth the law. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." There is nothing here about learning then speaking, as you say. The point to a woman being in silence is subjection and obedience. As to your Greek interpretation of prophesy, I notice that you leave out many other ways that this word is used in the original language--how convenient. It can, and does, mean " 4395 propheteuo (prof-ate-yoo'-o) from "4396"; TDNT - 6:781,952; v AV - prophesy 28; 28 1) to prophesy, to be a prophet, speak forth by divine inspirations, to predict 1a) to prophesy 1b) with the idea of foretelling future events pertaining esp. to the kingdom of God 1c) to utter forth, declare, a thing which can only be known by divine revelation 1d) to break forth under sudden impulse in lofty discourse or praise of the divine counsels 1d1) under like prompting, to teach, refute, reprove, admonish, comfort others 1e) to act as a prophet, discharge the prophetic office As you said, it can be used as a forteller of events. However, it can also be used as simply "a teacher." As for deaconness, it does mean a servant. That surely doesn't mean she was a preacher or pastor. When you find Scriptures where a woman in the NT pastored a church, let me know. Please take the Scriptures. God bless. |
