    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    Paul does make a passing reference to the law in 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 but I am not sure that his reference is more than passing and means any more than that "even the law says that [women ought to be silent]" I cannot think of specific old testament passages saying women are to be silent...

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    Many husbands would not have been coached about the meaning before hand. That is true today. I think it was probably true in first and second century Christianity too.

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    Maybe, I do not think that women ought to be silenced on general forums where a man may be reading so I have not devoted a lot of prayer and thought to the matter other than giving it some scant attention when somebody brings it up.

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    The context for Paul's comment about women being silent in church is What then, brethren? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification. If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two or at most three...

    Okay, you asked if your home studies should be posted in women's forums only. No, you post in this forum and nobody objects because you're a women. People may disagree with your posts but that would be because of some aspect of the post's content and not because it was written by a woman...

    But do you mean "refute" or "contradict" - what Paul's comment about women being silent in church may mean is worth discussion but my question was only about what you meant in your post when you used the word "refutes".

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    Yes, Paul probably means that women ought not disrupt corporate worship but that would be true of men also if his intention were only to write against disturbing orderly worship but since he singles out women for this rebuke it may have more meaning than your post suggests.

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    do you mean "refute" or "contradict" because refute implies a valid argument that overthrows one's opponent's position whereas contradiction does not imply that the argument is valid nor that it overthrows one's opponent's position but only that it is opposed to his/her argument.

    no. Never said that I did. But Paul did say women were to be silent in church.

    You're not the pope so quoting yourself and asking if it has some implications about papal infallibility looks weird.

    What is considered women teaching? Is posting studies taboo to you?

    Yes, you are right that the church is cast as the bride of Christ but that is about the church as a community rather than being about individuals within the church. Paul tells women to be silent in church.

    Zophar from Naamath again took his turn: "I can't believe what I'm hearing! You've put my teeth on edge, my stomach in a knot. How dare you insult my intelligence like this!

    Do believe enough?

    I saw a critique of the "prosperity gospel" made by a comedian (an Englishman on USA tv) named John Oliver. He uses bad language liberally so I will not link the video clip here. But it got me wondering if folk here believe the messages preached by men and women like Kenneth Copeland and Gloria...
