Dear lady, am I then to presume that women in your church come covered, stay silent, ask their husbands at home if they do not understand something, and learn in silence and submission, as the Bible says they ought to?

I assume you are talking about 1 Corinthians 14:34 here. Peace is the subject of these verses so no one should chatter in church, women or men. It doesn't mean they aren't to take part in the church. If it did then it would negate 11:5 of this Book which lets us know that women are to teach:

5.But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

To prophesy is to teach. Women are to teach, as the men are. To shave her head would show dishonor. For her head to be covered doesn't mean a hat, scarf, etc. it means to have Christ over her.

10.For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.

That power is Christ and it is for His protection against the fallen angels - the same reason a man shouldn't have long hair. They are perverted and he also needs Christ' protection.

Acts 2: 17.And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, " I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy......

18.And on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

Acts 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy,

We're all part of the body of Christ and all parts are necessary and should all be cherished - none more important than the other.

Ping-pong, the post this is all coming from is 11,576. The verses are unambiguous. Please look them up.

I assume you are talking about 1 Corinthians 14:34 here.

Part of it. Other parts include Timothy and Titus.

Peace is the subject of these verses so no one should chatter in church, women or men. It doesn't mean they aren't to take part in the church. If it did then it would negate 11:5 of this Book which lets us know that women are to teach:

Clearly you are making things up.

5.But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

1 Cor 11:13 says otherwise.

To prophesy is to teach. Women are to teach, as the men are. To shave her head would show dishonor. For her head to be covered doesn't mean a hat, scarf, etc. it means to have Christ over her.

Negative. She is covered 'because of the angels' (go figure, but that's what+Paul is saying). Besides, the the head of a woman is man not Christ, according to the Apostle (1 Cor 11:3). You are making things up.

That power is Christ and it is for His protection against the fallen angels - the same reason a man shouldn't have long hair. They are perverted and he also needs Christ' protection.

Fascinating! But that's not what the verse says.

Acts 2: 17.And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, " I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy......

+Paul doesn't say women can't prophesy; they need to prophesy covered, and when they are in church they need to be covered.

18.And on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy.

Again, women can prophesy, no argument there.

We're all part of the body of Christ and all parts are necessary and should all be cherished - none more important than the other.

The Church is not egalitarian. That is a liberal fantasy. The Church is structured.
