Some women led in the early church (Phoebe in Romans 16:1 was a deaconess, and Junia who was an apostle), and women prayed and prophesied (1 Cor. 11:13; Acts 21:9).

If 1 Cor 14:34-35 are legitimate (there is some evidence that are not), it must be as Seraphprincess said. Men ruled back then. Most men were educated, most women were not.
Also, what about women who were not married? Who would they ask?
(by the way, the fact that Paul says Junia was an apostle kinda blows certain people's theory that there were only the original 12, and no more, out of the water...(zone, are you reading this?)
)
hi shroomster.
yep. just now bud.
i NEVER said there were only 12....i said, as scripture says,
He chose 12 AS THE AUTHORITATIVE FOUNDATION.
now exactly what did the Crucified and Risen Christ as The Cornerstone, and the Apostles AND the disciples, some of whom became prophets, equipped by the Promise of the Holy Spirit FOUND?
the church, bud. the Fulfillment of the promise.
no one has EVER denied that what Joel prophesied for Pentecost
IN JERUSALEM came to pass. why would they?
Joel 2:28
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit
on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
Acts 2
1And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place.
2And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4And
they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5And there were
dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
6Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that
every man heard them speak in his own language
but, Praise GOD!
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!
easy
how's the deck rail look?
love ya.

you MUST acknowledge the Deity of Christ mr.shroomer...please?
