Many females talk in church yet this is condemned in the bible! So if you are a female and you talk in church you are actually sinning.

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. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35

notice later Paul writes
If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment. 1 Corinthians 14:37

So what Paul writes are actually commandments from the Lord so woman cannot talk in church

Paul made this statement concerning women: “If, then, they want to learn something, let them question their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in a congregation.” (1 Corinthians 14:35) This means that if sisters do not understand or are disturbed by certain statements read or made during the meetings, they should not raise points of contention before the congregation. Rather, they should ask their husbands to clarify matters when they are at home.

men and women are not allowed to chatter in church . This is really what is stated. Also during the time, it was dangerous for women to teach, because of the persecution on the church, the men were to take care of the women for that reason .Paul would know this better then anyone. That's one reason he said it.

The body of Christ is the church, and He is the head, of believers, both male and female, God is no respecter of persons. He even says He will use women to teach the church in the last days, have you read it ? Try Joel, or when the Holy Spirit taught , recorded in Acts 2. Both men And Women shall prophecy. That is teaching. And a building is not part of it. God's words, using them to bring it to the people .

well thankfully I have freedom of speech sir. Im not here to argue. just fellowship with other Christians. If you don't agree with something then don't participate. Because it can be tiring arguing with everyone you dont see eye to eye with. One body of believers. Lets not be divided.

If you want a bible discussion, w can talk in detail about why, we even have a difference here . im willing to do that, but in the chat room. Say the word an we can set aside a time to talk.

Three things...
1. My statement was directed at the faulty OP
2. It is my view on the faulty OP
3. If you don't like my stance then don't reply to my post

So....????

Anna was a woman and she spoke to many people in the Temple which predated the church:

Luke 2:36-38 Now there was one, Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; and this woman was a widow of about eighty-four years, who did not depart from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. And coming in that instant she gave thanks to the Lord, and spoke of Him to all those who looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

Paul stresses that everything to be orderly. If women have questions, they should ask their husband.

However, women are not forbidden to speak if God moves them as was the case with Anna and other women found in the Bible.

34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

36 Or did the word of God originate with you? (He was speaking to the men) Or are you the only people it has reached?(Speaking to the men) 37 If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them( The ones that has ears, let them hear) acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command. 38 But if anyone ignores this, they will themselves be ignored.

People need to become born again in order to understand the scriptures. If someone heart is corrupt, their thoughts are corrupt and which they will perceived the word wrongfully. Paul was stating that it's were their rules that women should remain silent, but if a woman was given a prophesy, should she remain silent because the men believed that it only has come from them, not women. Paul wanted the men to ponder on what he is trying to say, but if they'd ignored it, then the Almighty will ignore them.

I find this to be highly womanish, and I am not offended.

Or should I say feminist?

If one is offended by what the word says, guess who needs to change? The Word or the self?

Notwithstanding, it seems to me that this topic has done been chewed on this Forum.

The temple was nothing like a church. And what was done under the law is irrelevant.
The temple was a place to go and kill animals & burn them, do things with their blood.\
It was not a place for talking. There was not even a chair for priests.

So I don't see the word "in" in your quote "did not depart from the temple."
The temple term might refer to the complex around the naus, the sacred building for animal sacrifice.
We understand that there was a Court of Women there, separating them from the men (not in OT, however).
So I don't know if she were in the Court of Women or further removed. But it makes no difference. There was no command to be silent in the court. The temple was not a place like our churches. They didn't sit in the court and listen to sermons so far as is recorded.

The synagogue was not invented by the Law of Moses, but a later development. I know of no record of a woman speaking in the synagogue -- not that it would be a model for the churches anyway.

What Anna illustrates is that women can speak, only not in church meetings & not to teach men in the Church. Women certainly did prophesy in NT times; but they were not to spout off as speakers in church meetings.

Man why do you like bring each other down so much. No wonder no one wants to join your churches. No wonder theres so much confusion. No wonder. Its hard to tell the differnce between a Christian and the rest of the world. We are so full of self Christ has no chance of breaking through. You love your self to much. If you are dead as paul says Its no longer I who lives but Christ who lives in me. Then you would not be so touchy. One toush and satan sends ou realing. Every time you open your mouth satan laghs and says look how easy they line up with me, and for me. They dont love God they only love Him for what they can get from them.

Ive preached in churches over many years...asked by MEN church leaders. Maybe if men stopped preaching false doctrine on this subject whenever they take scripture out of context to try and CONTROL women then maybe God wouldnt need to raise up female preachers. I know I would rather be sitting in the audience listening than public speaking I can assure you!

And before you ask....no I dont ask my husband questions on the bible when I get home cos I aint got one...I ask the Lord directly!

The male and female are both man. The woman is the married male and female. The LORD is the Man.

Most men have been preached by women. These women preachers are called MOTHERS. They have been preaching for centuries in churches called Family. A pity, lots of men don't realize it.
