What do we do with 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 (Women Silent in Church)?
The Apostle Paul's first letter to the Corinthians ^

Posted on 08/03/2005 2:52:03 PM PDT by newgeezer

1 Corinthians 14 (New American Standard Bible)

34The 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.
35If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

In the group I gather with, the women don't speak during the worship meetings; they do sing. They also contribute during the Bible studies and prayer meetings.

If you're a Bible-believing Christian, please consider posting what your church does and/or what you personally believe should be done with the above passage (and, optionally, why you believe as you do).

They do, when praying or prophesying (e.g. teaching Sunday School).

Related passage:

1 Timothy 2:11-12

11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

Fortunately (?) today’s Christians may generally pick and choose what parts of the Holy Bible they will obey.

I hope so. But, it looks like there's a lot of lurking and precious little posting going on.

Maybe everyone's studying up on it before they post. =o)
