Bible Question:
Immanuelsown: Are women permited to speak in your church? Do you think Paul might have been speaking to a cultural problem at that time and specific church, or is this a blanket statement ment for today? Do you think husbands today teach their wives obedience to them as leaders, and keep their wife in subjection? How do men today see what shaming their wife is? Blessings. justme |
Bible Answer: justme, I have gone back through my post, with a fine tooth comb. Have not been able to find where I gave any opinion, Pro. or Con. Where did I make mention of my Church, or the Doctrines of said Church? What do you think, was Paul speaking, to a cultural problem at that time, or a specific church, or is this a blanket statement meant for today? As to the question of, husbands today teaching their wives obedience to them as leaders, and keeping their wife in subjection? I personally, am not qualified to speak for a segment of society, nor have I put myself forward in that light. So with that in mind, I would be more than happy, to give you my humble opinion on the matter, since you have asked for it. I personally feel, Men have abdicated their God given position, as the head of the woman, and their households. The Courts of this Great Land of ours, have legislated Equality for all of her people, they have at the same time effectively legislated equality in the Churches. Thereby breaking down the family unit, God has established! The statistics, on divorce, can be found at this link http://www.assisteddivorce.com/divorce-statistics.html specifically the ones concerning Christians, note also there are more Women, filing for divorce, and separating than Men. Do we want to go into the statistics on Abortion? I feel these two examples, give a clear picture of what happens, when women that were not ordained to have authority, have it either given to them, or take it. In this type of an atmosphere how could a man teach his wife anything, on the order of what your talking about? In closing, I believe, it is not the position of the Man to teach his wife those things, it is the position of the elderly Women. Titus 2:3-5 3) The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; 4) That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, 5) To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. 1 Cor.14:33-38 33) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 34) 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 saith the law. 35) And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 36) What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 37) If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 38) But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
