"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."
1 Cor 14:37-38,
"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. But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant."
Yes, these commandments are from the Lord, or Saviour.
There should not be any appeal to this requirement being merely customary of that time.
So, as women, myself and other women are to be willing to learn from our husbands first, then our ministers, then our teachers that God has placed over us. And as women, we are always to heed what Paul says to do with what others instruct us in, taking every thought captive to God's word, testing what we hear to see if it aligns with Scripture, and be willing to teach other women what we learn from the Word and our teachers.
This does not, however, mean that women and men cannot have discussions on spiritual matters. This verse has to do with protocol during worship services and church leadership and governance.
Thank you so much for the last paragraph of this post . It is a fact and it is a fact that is often ignored , almost exclusively by men :) . God gave women brains and I believe that the same Spirit is given to men and women , so if a woman is able to shed some light on a scripture etc , and her information is rejected because it's coming out of a woman's mouth , but it's been given her by God's Holy Spirit , then what does that mean for the man who rejects it ? The message comes from the Spirit , it doesn't matter who's mouth it comes out of . The messenger is irrelevant .
Yes, Jema, Galatians 3:28 says we are all one in Christ without rank, but equal and equally blessed with the workings of the Holy Spirit.
I am certainly aware that what women, you and myself included, say in fellowship with others may not be accepted by some men due to the verse discussed in Giannis' post, (but he is not one of them) but each man or woman is to be obedient to the promptings and instructions of the Holy Spirit as to what to say to and what to receive from other believers regardless of their gender. You and I are responsible for what we say and do not need to own what others are willing to receive. If their convictions towards receiving biblical insights from women don't allow them to do so, then I believe God will bring the same insights to them from a man in the future according to His will. So I don't fret over this.
I am thankful for this forum and blessed by those who participate. Being pretty much a homebody since Covid and retirement, I don't get a chance each day to share insights with others outside my family often, so this forum allows for us to use our minds that God has blessed us with that are being transformed by the Spirit to be as the mind of Christ.
