One in Messiah Congregation

Time to squelch another misinterpretation and misunderstanding of a verse

 

Paul's letters explained:

1 Cor. 14 [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 (the wives) will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.

1 Tim. 2 [12] But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

 

As also saith the Law - Torah

Gen.3 [16] Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

--------

Simply put, wives are subject to their husbands in the Lord

It is not saying woman can never speak, especially if they are asked by the Minister to speak, then she is not usurping authority over the man.

Here are just a few examples of woman commissioned to speak:

[13] But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

[24] And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,

[36] And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

[40] And entered into the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth.
