You misunderstand. She was allowed to prophesy and bring souls unto Christ "outside" the church. She was not allowed to become a preacher "inside" the church. This is what the scripture says.
Preach (καταγγέλλω) means to proclaim the good news (gospel) of Jesus. The witness of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10). So prophesying is preaching.
Preach

Why does everything devolve into ad hominem attacks? Stick with the subject under discussion no matter how much you detest others' viewpoints.
Back to the subject, Christians have only TWO OPTIONS. Believe and apply all instructions to the churches as given by Divine revelation, or pick and choose what you wish to believe and suffer the consequences. Christian women who are in submission to Christ have absolutely no issues with teachings applicable to women (which are self-explanatory).
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 ?
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
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 did exist, in a cuture where women were second hand citizens, where new people would come in and see women speak out and be offended. Because they have not yet come to truth, so paul said it is better for women to be quiet, and not offend people who may be offended. Ie, be all things to all people.

You think Paul taught this because it was a cultural thing? If that's the case, we could change a lot of things about God's word using cultural bias as an excuse.

Have you ever read the old testament? Alot of stuff was written that way, just because you would rather shut a woman up and keep her in her place does not mean all churches should do it.

You don't have to go to an extreme mindset. Men should honor women and treat them with love and respect. Husbands are commanded to love their wives as Christ loved the church.
