What people seem to miss is the part “let women ask their husband's at home”. And what about the widow or the single woman not yet married but living on her own without a husband yet? What if there is no husband at home to ask. Which in our society and even back in Christ day such was the case. Not all men are head over all women. A husband is head over HIS wife not all other men's wives or other women. These verses were added by someone not Paul as is the one in I timothy and it contradicts other scripture and roles of women through out biblical history and scripture. God made man and woman equal and gave both gifts some to prophecy and teaching and he did not exclude women from these gifts. Even Christ chided Martha busy in her kitchen when she complained of her sister Mary sitting with Christ talking to him, learning asking questions. From all we know of these two women neither was married or had husbands yet. Nor did Mary Magdalene and Christ's own mother was a widow. They had a big role in Christ's life and were active in the community and in the church and meetings. As was Lydia, Docus, Phoebe and others.
