Im not insulted. Paul may be. You and he can settle your differences when the opportunity arises.
As to your blather about culture....it is utterly irrelevant.
Paul issued stark commands. Succinct. Non-arbitrary. Clear. Concise. Not open to the whims of cultural degridation or whimsy.
There are no positions in a Church congregation where women can have authority over men in terms of Church authority. Ever. Period.
I would offer.. Yes culture has nothing to do with the affect of the gospel .Fashions come and go. Just as in the same way. . male and female do not affect the work of the gospel. Deborah (the Bee) comes to mind. . . or Rehab (Storm)
There is no positions in a Church congregation where man can have authority over woman in terms of Church authority. No lording it over or venerating as does Catholisicim…. and corrupted Judaism.
We are lovingly commanded to study to show ourselves approved unto God who gives us as a living hope working in us guiding us and bringing to mind the things he has taught us. We would never seek the approval of the teaching of man apposed to the teaching of a woman. but after neither man nor woman. The noble Bereans were commended being moved by the Spirit that dwelt in them to see if what they were hearing was prophecy. . . searching the scriptures daily....as their daily bread.
Christ is the one head of both.(mankind) The reformation has come. One new ceremonial law . The head of hair covering for the woman. . . covering her representative glory of God, not leaving her with none... and no covering for the man, having woman as his representative glory to represent the one new bride.. . neither Jew nor gentile, male nor female as one celebrating the wedding supper typified by bread and the blood of grapes.
It is part of the new order it was applied where men and woman
could worship in the same way (by faith) . Not behind stone walls of separation. Forbidden under the old order of Kings a pagan tradition. The other ceremonial laws were fulfilled according to the pagan traditions of Kings. Woman under the thumb of man .The time of reformation had come..
The new order has come according to Joel in Acts 2. . . daughters and sons of all nations sent out to preach the gospel (prophesying) in a hope Christ will teach them by applying it to the hearts of mankind. The hope of faith. The silence cannot be preaching the gospel as that of men alone.
The silence must in respect to another kind of teaching. One that men and woman should perform at home. Most likely relationship problems .The new order putting men and woman in the same place must of caused disorder . The faithless Jew rejected the reformation , And as a sign of rebellion to the reformation they cover their head ((yamakas) indicating no Spirit of Christ
Men they are also commanded to be under obedience as to what the law says . not just woman." we need no man to teach us but as
it as it is written teaches us we abide in
him (men and woman both )
Let
all things be done decently and in order.1 Corinthian 14:40
It is why I would think the teaching in mind is not the gospel . In that way one is our teaching master in heaven not seen (Mathew24) . Our Holy father. We are to call no man or woman. . . teacher on earth . Even the Son of man Jesus would not stand in the Holy place of the Father, when called good master he gave that glory to the father and said only God is good.
The idea that wives should wait till they get home to hear the infallible master just does not make sense s at least to my own self.
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. 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..1 Corinthian 14:34-35
Shame for women to speak in the church. It would seem to be relationship teaching she has her husband at home. Same shame applies to men . Order in the church, no flirting with the world. . . wrong kind of representative glory . .Family fun at pot lucks and picnics.
