Bible Note: Melanie Your understanding of the meaning of this passage and I quote you, "I would say within context it literally means that a woman has no right, and is dead wrong, to speak out in church, or to my mind in any public situation, in such a way as to indicate shortcomings with or disrespect to or lack of submission to her husband, or to her pastor." Is absolutely correct!!!! I might add another person her father. If anyone tells you different they simply are not reading within context. I know many respected bible scholars disagree and I know even my favorite teacher John MacArthur disagrees, However in the context of this writing Paul is very clear. He is talking about a women being submitted to her father, husband and you bring a good point her pastor, in such way they would never disrespect that person, especially in the context of a public church service. Maybe you should let that become dogmatic in you. :-) EdB |
