"he is saying that she is not to speak in tongues in the church."

I got that from your post! Yes, Paul was talking about speaking in tongues in the church - but it had nothing whatsoever to do with WOMEN not being allowed to speak in tongues in church!! That's an ignorant statement and it is not what Paul said nor is it what he meant!!

You can put any kind of spin you want on it - but the statement I quoted is not a correct interpretation of what the Bible says.

Sorry, ma'am, but it ain't my spin. I got it from J. Vernon McGee, a former pastor and formerly internationally recognized Bible preacher, Thru the Bible teacher, nationally syndicated radio. He's pretty sound doctrine-wise as far as I'm concerned. And his explanation for that statement "women shall not speak in church" sound more plausible than old Viva's who's parroting that women should basically shut up period.
