BTW, My question was in reply to your #174, not your #176
Sorry, but I was being funny and I got a good laugh out of it even if you didn't.LoL
Seriously, you asked,
If true, how do you explain I Corinthians Chapter 14, Verses 34 & 35? 34: "Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but, they are to be submissive as the law also says"<
35: "It is shameful for women to speak in church"
I have to relay a little story that happened many moons ago, my wife and I had gone to a holiness Church for the first time, and they had a lady minister, and it bothered me from the same scripture base you gave.
a couple of weeks later they paid us a visit, and asked if we intended to come back again, and I told her no, that I felt that 1 Cor 14, made it clear that women weren't to preach in the Church to which she said,
You have to understand the way things were back then, The Synagogues were giant in size, and the women were made to sit in the back of the Church, and the men sat up front, well the women could never hear what the Priest was saying, so they used to yell up at their husbands and ask,
You have to give her credit for originality anyway, ha ha ha.I think Billy Graham and his daughter worked it out pretty well even as gifted as she is, and they have found plenty of ways for her to use her many talents with out using an authoritative position in the Church over men.
In to days world, the only reason I can give for taking that command seriously is, "Because it says so" If you can reason around it, what one is there that can’t be reasoned around?
