Beloved, (Eph 1:6)
Would you like to discuss women preaching?
1 Cor 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto
you only?
In the above verse Paul is asking a "Question" with great emphasize,
like this "WHAT?" ( HE IS REALLY ASTOUNDED THAT THIS CHURCH WOULD MAKE
SUCH AN UNREASONABLE STATEMENT) If you will notice in chapter 7 Paul
writes,
1 Cor 7:1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is
good for a man not to touch a woman.
"Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me":
You see Paul was answering a statement written to him. The statement
was: 1 Cor 14:34 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.
1 Cor 14:35 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.
Paul's answer is a resounding, WHAT?
Just like if an apostolic would make a statement like, "I do all in
Jesus name, except" and I would answer, What? Because we know, we must
do "ALL" in word or deed, in that name above every name. (Col 3:17, Phil
2:90)
In Gal 3:28. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor
free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ
Jesus.
"For ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive
that God is no respecter of persons:
"God is no respecter of persons":
Your servant for Jesus sake,
