why do female preachers disobey these verses'1cor.14:34-35'?

1Cor.14:34-35 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.

35 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.

    Hi,

    They're not. If you actually knew what the Scriptures state you wouldn't post such a silly question. The reason your question is silly is due to the fact that at the church in question some women were talking and asking questions about what was being taught. This was so loud that it inturrpted the service which is why Paul wrote this in his letter to this church. Let me put it in simple English so you understand why they were told to be silent. They were talking so loud that the lesson was interrupted, so they were instructed to be silent until after the service. Once the service was done then they could ask all the questions they wanted to, as loud as they wanted to, but just don't be so rude to do it while the lesson was being taught. It had nothing to do with the fact that they were women. They were too loud....that's all....nothing more. Okay!?

    You are taking this WAY OUT OF CONTEXT. You must know, in the early first century church, there were PLENTY of women in leadership roles, and no one had a problem with it, not even the Apostles. Rabbi Paul, many times, called on the various churches to accept and welcome women leaders into their congregations. Have you noticed that thhe very first witnesses to the resurrection of Jesus Christ were women, and these women were charged with the task of spreading the good news to the disciples who were in hiding at the time. These women EMBOLDENED the timid disciples to go out and preach this good news later, and even die for the Way. Women can be leaders in the church. We see it throughout scripture, that God will use women in this capacity.

    As for the context of these particular verses from a letter Paul wrote to the church, specifically in Corinth, the word Paul uses is "lalew", which is a word that implies casual conversation, not preaching/teaching communication. So, basically, what was happening in Corinth, was women were talking during church, to eachother, or shouting out during the service. They were going overboard in their new freedoms as women in the church. Paul was telling them to keep silent, and if there was a part of teaching they didn't understand, not to ask the one sitting next to them, or shout out to the preacher for clarification, but to simply ask their husband when they get home. The men in Corinth were not speaking and shouting out during church, only the women were, so that's why Paul only referred to the women.

    Since you already know my answer to this, let me ask you a question. Why do you disobey these Community Guidelines?

    Yahoo! Answers isn't a soapbox to vent personal frustrations or rant about issues.

    If a post is neither a question nor an answer, it doesn’t belong here.

    Don't create multiple accounts to troll or otherwise violate these guidelines or the Yahoo! Terms of Service.

    Don't post things that are incomprehensible or in the wrong language, and don't post the same question over and over again.

    Violating the Community Guidelines may result in the termination of your Answers account without warning. In extreme cases, violations may result in the termination of your Yahoo! ID, and consequently, access to all other Yahoo! services.

    Members who have violated the Community Guidelines are at risk for review and possible termination of their Answers accounts. In extreme cases, members risk losing their Yahoo! ID, and consequently, access to all other Yahoo! services.

    Having said all these things that you already know, let me reiterate:

    We shall continue to pray for you.

    Everyone knows why and people who defend women pastors know what they're doing. There's something very disturbing about the estrogen movement. See 'The Disappearing Male' scientific study: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7530701744... - Satan is using women to take his evil into all the Earth. Notice the extremely feminist churches are filled with estrogen and satanic spiritualism.

    These are about the new age movement exposed:

    Very good. If women took notice of the way all religions treat them, as mere reproductors of the species that should be kept silent in order to have more time to reproduct more, they would never have a religion, even less become preachers....

    Let me say this....if a woman has the holy spirit and the man has the holy spirit...the holy spirit is the same correct??? Actually we are the vessel male or female..the holy spirit is who preaches the word.. Think about it. WE ALL HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT AND it is the same in both male and female. So it doesnt matter to God who brings his word..#1 thing God does not pick male or female to preach his word. He will give it to a donkey to speak it if he wants. READ THE WORD ITS IN THERE..

    The gospel of Yoyobah indicates that a plane went into a soup of water and then my cat climbed over the police officer to gain entry into the clock of witches. I hope this helped.

  • do you realise that asking the same question 1,000,000,000 times gets a bit wearing after a while?

    friend , you have asked a question that will no doubt get you some harsh answers, but you are completely correct, a woman that does this, takes own to be a preacher on there own, God did not tell them to , God has said absolutely no, but in the world today it takes courage to ask the hard questions, so be strong and don't compromise, compromise guarantees failure when it comes to the bible. prayers,

    we don't: 1 Corinthians 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
