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. |
Bible Question: What are the writers speaking about when they tell the women to be silent in churches? It's a known fact that women were the first to proclaim the gospel. |
Bible Answer: Not to try to be "smart," but it is because Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit, said for them to. I suppose you are refering back to Mary and Elizebeth when you say "women were the first to proclaim the gospel." However, was that a public proclaimation? Was it in the worship assembly of the saints as 1 Corinthians 14:34 is dealing with? There is one thing for sure, women cannot go wrong if they follow Paul's admonition. But what if they don't follow it? |
