Are you trying to say that Paul was a bad communicator that he meant 'no one should interrupt a church service but it came out as 'women should not speak in churches' and 'i do not permit a woman to preach'?
you changed the word of God it does not say " I do not permit women to preach"

1 Tim 2:11 A woman a should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; b she must be quiet.

There's no other meaning for what Paul is saying above- a woman means a woman and quietness would still mean quietness.

If you have any other meaning from what i derive please let me know. this is a church setting btw.

You are now appealing to the emotions. I never said women should never pray.

It is not me you are having a problem with, it is Paul:

1 Cor 14:
34Women f should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35If 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. g

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

You will have to address the above before you say anything, i'm sorry you are in this position.

And 1 Cor 11 is not about prophesy or prayer, it is about hierarchy in authority as much as it is in a church setting. Since we are dealing with tongues, where does Paul say women should cover their head and speak in tongues?
I do not have to address the above because I have provided context of the unit chapters from 1cor 11 to 14. You fail to loo at all verses which clearly and contextually apply to both men and women. you clearly overlooked 1cor 11 and 12 and 13 before coming to the understanding of 14

1 was 1cor only to men in the Church?
2. was the gifts of the Holy Spirit in chapter 12 only for men to operate as the Holy Spirit is the one who distributes as He see fit.
3. was 1cor written to the church of only men ?
4. is the applicaion of scripture only to men?

Yes women are to be silent , yes women are to have no authority over . Amen . BUT are you saying women will not be used in achurch setting because they are to be silent ? Please answer that one question. I have not a problem with paul at all . Nor do I have an issue with the Holy Spirit gifting women and being used in a church setting as 1cor 11 to 14 teaches as it should done with Order and disipline . was pauls 1cor 14:39 "39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues. "
only to men. I will wait for your answer

nope not at all have not issue with Paul or the word of God

Ok, explain to me what it means:

1 Cor 14:34Women f should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35If 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.

You do understand the difference between singular (specific) and plural (general), don't you?

I would strongly encourage you to do some more homework on this particular passage. Start with the cultural context.

yes it's called respectful when learning the word of God . The Error of your premise is you assume a controlling environment in the church. Willful submission, in obedience to the word of God and Love to the women as Christ loved the church. And the blatant failure to acknowledge that women have the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit can use a women and does use a women in the church setting.

Are you trying to avoid my question? when Paul talks about women does he mean both men and women?

Paul is not talking about disruptions in the church, he clearly says women don't have authority over men, that's why they are not permitted to speak.
A1. 1 Cor was for both men and women that's why there's specific instruction for women to keep quiet
A2. If women were to keep quiet in church then it means the gifts were only for men in the church setting, how many times does Paul have to say women need to deal with their husbands? Even if they have prophesy, they tell it to their husbands who will tell it to the church
A3. Nope, it was written for everyone and there's specific instructions for women that don't apply to men and amongst the instruction is that women should be quiet in church
A4. Nope. Scripture is for all believers, there are specific instructions for women that don't apply to men.

I would offer.... The culture has nothing to do with it. Its not time sensitive. Men and woman gathering together as opposite sex have all to do with it. The context is the timeless word of God

WOW ! Ok wrong!
Things are not wrong because you marvel and say they are wrong, you need to use scripture and explain why i'm wrong.

Here's another one you can try to twist and still fail:

1 Tim 2:
8Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.

11A woman a should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; b she must be quiet. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15But women c will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety

Must be quiet means must be quiet with no conditions- it means she can not purport to speak in tongues or evangelize as long as as men were there. It would be disgrace (quoting Paul) which also means it is not from the Lord. Same thing that is happening today.

I have used scripture you are eliciting for self-interpretation. You are not taking the full context of the Holy Spirit and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. You stated that women would not be used in the church setting in the gifts of the Holy Spirit because they are to be silent.

Then you try to lecture us on proper exegesis. LOL You can’t have it both ways either the Holy and His gifts are given to men and women or they are not. You do not see the context with the text or passages of scriptures that speak to the unity of the Holy Spirit with men and women. You see it as controlling that is why you are Pharisees. It has been my experience those who teach the half-baked cake Gospel and 1corinthians about the role of women and are wrong have 1. Not being married 2. Have been divorced 3. No freedom of the Holy Spirit for all people in the service. dead, dead, dead,. Those like you take correction from the word of God and use it to control people like a cultish founder would do.

You can offer it all you like, but it's still wrong. If you ignore context, you are likely to end up with incorrect and indefensible interpretations.

Same kind of you. What kind of faith are you using seeing the scripture informs us natural unconverted man has none, not a little but zero?

The faith of Christ, our new born again faith by which we can believe God not seen is the work of God . It is the work of God that we can believe. (faith is a work)

It is not of our own selves no man can seek after God if he has no understanding of who he is and what he desires. Not something we are born with .

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.Romans 3:11

From my experience many do not accredit faith to God . Faith is a work. The same faith in Ephesians 2 is that of James2 or Hebrews 11.where ever you see the word faith it points to the author of it, God

Before we are born again the bible informs us we have "no faith". Not little none.

By the faith of God that worked in Abel, Abel previously having none. God worked in and with Able to both will and do His good pleasure. (imputed righteousness). Same with all believers old testament as well as new. One faith belonging to one God. The author and finisher of our new born again faith the gift of God from God

Same with all believers in respect to the mutual faith of God that mutually works in all who do believe.

By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.Hebrews 11:4

By the faith of God that worked in Enoch , Enoch previously having none God worked in and worked in and with Enoch to both will and do His good pleasure. (imputed righteousness)Same with all believers in respect to the mutual faith of God

5 By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.Hebrews 11.

Without the faith of God working in a person to draw them close to God no man could please God and therefore could not come to Him not seen .Because we do come he is our reward. Without His faith no man can seek after Him

6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.Hebrews 11.

Note... (purple in parenthesis) by comments to show whose faith is in view .

James 2 King James Version (KJV) My brethren, have not the faith of (coming from, not in towards ) our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory,(not of our own selves) with respect of persons(of our own selves)

Those who violate the clear commandment above in the end of the matter blasphemes the Holy name by which we are called heavenward . Today from the moment the Son of man left..... blasphemy against the Holy Spirit not seen is not forgivable.

(James 2:1) One of the most ignored commandments I know of.

false accusations against me and others. I am a true born again consecrated Christian having the fullest faith in God keeping all of His promises. I am serving Him fulltime for the Great Commission.

And again, I have spoken in tongues, sang in tongues, experienced the spiritual gifts of miracles and words of knowledge and wisdom, and experienced all of the rest of the spiritual gifts, but my main spiritual gift has been teaching. It is a shame that you haven't. You are vainly disputing with individuals who are more wise than you because they are sensitive and obedient to the Holy Spirit. We are not of Satan or doing his desires!
