1 Corinthians 14:34 The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.

Either Paul is contradicting himself or the scripture is saying something different from how we’re interpreting it.
1) Paul tells us that we are no longer under the law, but of the Spirit.

2) The clue might be in the “are to keep” in the passage is aorist tense in Greek, meaning in the past. Was that what Paul was trying to convey?

As for Timothy: Paul was claiming his rules for the church and could be subject to debate

It all boils down to the “Church” being under the authority of 1 man, that is Jesus Christ. We are under the authority of no one but Him, man, woman, or child

The Spirit gives life, the letter (written law) brings death, again, according to Paul

1 Corinthians 3:4-9 niv

4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?
5 What, after all, is Apollos? And what is Paul? Only servants, through whom you came to believe—as the Lord has assigned to each his task. 
6 I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God has been making it grow. 
7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God, who makes things grow. 
8 The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor. 
9 For we are co-workers in God’s service; you are God’s field, God’s building.


GALATIANS 3:26-28

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
