My point is that if you are going to attempt to make one of Paul's off-hand comments that is not even much more than a correction for a specific church, a law for all of us today... then you had better be prepared to make everything said, a law.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
I think if someone that wants to preach by using that ole' language that is hard for modern English speaking people to understand, should go back to college and take up Shakespeare; maybe they can get a feel of it. Here some writings of George Washington in somewhat that ole' language, that was in transition of becoming modern English.
f you have read some of Abraham Lincoln's speeches, he had used some of that ole' style language, because at the time, transitioning was becoming modern English because of this country that the people were uneducated and started using broken down English and which modern English is broken down English; only the wealthy and the educated in those times had used that old language, but at the time it were considered as proper English. I know somebody that speaks that language very well, and believe me, you will not be able to keep up with it, because it is spoken very very fast like as if it were some foreign language.
And remember this, the republic did not gave birth to Washington. And so, son of man or the son of God and which son means "Brought forth" and which Adam had said when he had his first son. But overtime, things has changed, like how we worded our words. Like the word that the old south has used for calling the Blacks, "N" word, was a mistranslated word for Negro. Because of the one that whom started the trend was uneducated, they did not understand Spanish.
Presently I heard a voice saying,
"Son of the Republic, look and learn," while at the same time my visitor extended her arm eastwardly, I now beheld a heavy white vapor at some distance rising fold upon fold. This gradually dissipated, and I looked upon a stranger scene. Before me lay spread out in one vast plain all the countries of the world — Europe, Asia, Africa and America. I saw rolling and tossing between Europe and America the billows of the Atlantic, and between Asia and America lay the Pacific.
"Son of the Republic," said the same mysterious voice as before, "look and learn." At that moment I beheld a dark, shadowy being, like an angel, standing or rather floating in mid-air, between Europe and America. Dipping water out of the ocean in the hollow of each hand, he sprinkled some upon America with his right hand, while with his left hand he cast some on Europe. Immediately a cloud raised from these countries, and joined in mid-ocean. For a while it remained stationary, and then moved slowly westward, until it enveloped America in its murky folds. Sharp flashes of lightning gleamed through it at intervals, and I heard the smothered groans and cries of the American people.
Washington's Vision
In Shakespearean English, thou/thee/thy/thine were used for second person singular, and you/your/yours were used for second person plural. In modern English, you is used for both singular and plural. Why did English stop using thou?
