"How is it then, brethren"? (1Cor.14:26)
"When you come together, everyone....."
Gk. everyone - hek'-as-tos meaning:- any, both, (men & Women)
So both men & women attended Church, and that for a reason too.
"...everyone hath a psalm, a doctrine, a tongue, a revelation, an interpretation"
"every woman [gune-goo-nay'], (an adult woman, wife in contrast with a young girl) that prayeth or prophesieth..."
How come it has been said that they should keep quiet for it is not permitted unto them to speak in Church (1Cor.14:34), but here they prayed & prophesied and are included in those having a psalm, a doctrine, a tongue, a revelation etc.
The speaking here has got nothing to do with the exercising of her gift.
It has to do with the asking of questions. That she must do at home (1Cor.14:35) not in public worship, as people were at liberty in those days to interrupt the speaker in asking questions. [Wish we can interrupt our speakers in our day, but we'll probably get kicked out of Church ]
In 1Cor.14:3, it says, "but he that prophesieth, speaketh - laleo, meaning:- to preach, say, speak, talk, tell, utter,
not to herself or just her husband, but to "men"-anthropos [anth'ro-pos] meaning:- a human being (male or female)
here referring to the Church.
Just because a woman is at liberty to speak whether by interpretation, doctrine or whatever doesn't give her the right now to usurp authority in Church now. That's going against God's order.
We read that the Evangelist Philip had four daughters.
Wonder where they prophesied.
One can have the gift of prophecy, teaching etc. but that doesn't mean that you are in a leadership position now, and that's where we seems to go astray.
