Once again, if that is the case, where have you seen Scriptural evidence to the contrary? I hate to be repetitive but I have seen no evidence presented that would lead to any other conclusion. All I can tell is that people don't like the verse because it is unpopular. Have you done the digging?
Pardon the 'strawman' conclusion, but what other conclusion can one draw? If people through the centuries have allowed women to speak in church, and it is opposed to what Scripture says, then they are in sin.
If thy eye causes thee to sin, pluck it out. Better to lose an eye than a soul.
My point is that, unless you understand the meaning of Scripture, by delving into the culture, the words in the original tonge, and a host of other things, the words themselves can be misinterpreted.
Read Amos 4:4. It says, "Go to Bethel and transgress." I went to one of the Bethel colleges in this country, and we all laughed at the literal interpretation of that verse.
All I am saying, Appy, is what I have said all along. Be careful of how you look at people......Christians, who have studied God's Word......who have drawn other conclusions than you have.
As to other Scriptures that show the cultural side of that passage in Corinthians, all one has to do is look in the book of Acts, at all the women who were active and speaking in other churches.
That's all I have to say. Thanks for your respectful replies Appy.
