I really don't know what you people's problem with me is. I admitted to being a sinner as we all are. I told you it was best to have faith and also try your best to follow God's commandments. I showed specifically where women are not to preach within the church. ALL TRUE. So, what is your argument ?
god did not tell us to try to do our best. your best is not good enough

He told us to seek after the things of the spirit, which is loving others and placing their needs above yours. And when you fail he is not a spirit of fear. Ut an abba papa where we can come and openly confess and he will forgive us. And we can move on, not in fear but with joy.

If your purpose is to discourage women and girls from attending church, you're doing a GREAT job! Congratulations! God bless you and enjoy your "great entrance into heaven".
The purpose is to deliver scripture as written in response to others. Do you think Paul was trying to discourage young girls from entering into the church ? Your claim has no basis.

Your response is ludicrous. Did you not see I included faith in what to have ?

The doctrines found in 1 Corinthians is not to us, the body of Christ today?
Where does it say when they expire ? When exactly is the date given that Paul's order no longer stands. Remember now this is in the NT.

Any argument against scripture is a losing argument. Any argument declaring anyone not a sinner is a losing argument. Are you people now arguing ever going to come up with anything you can actually prove in the Bible OR are you just going to sit keeping on repeating what someone has told you ?

It was a question. I totally believe what Paul taught to the church 2,000 years ago is the teachings for the church today.

You are not Paul. You want to intimidate women with one verse continuously.

I work at a Christian business and this topic came up the other day. It seems the opposed come from more strict and traditional denominations. Can a woman preach vs can women lead a church. I personally have stayed out of this one. Lol

It’s evident that no one is going to change his/her mind on this topic.

Some believe a woman can preach. Others don’t.

Agree to disagree.

Move on.
Yes, I agree. Its not even the root of the problem here, that he thinks women can't preach. Although he did earlier say he would be willing to "bend the rule" a little and allow us to whisper in church. :D

The problem is deeper and more serious.

The verses in the Bible are not meant to intimidate anyone, They are meant to bring truth. I keep posting it only because people keep saying it does not exist. I wish all you ladies and gentlemen a good day. I have to go now.

It doesn't matter what they are MEANT for. The issue here is how you are using scripture to deliberately intimidate people.

To prophesy and to preach within a church are two different things. There was no contradiction.
That doesn't conform to Scripture. There isn't a single verse that says a woman may not preach within a church.
