1Co 14:34 Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.

1Co 14:35 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.

1Ti 2:11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
1Ti 2:12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

The flaw in your thinking here (at least at it relates to the modern church) is that if you REALLY believed these scriptures, you wouldn't allow women to sing in the choir, or teach Sunday School.

It's either all or nothing.

There is A LOT more that's different in the modern church than in the churches that were documented in the book of Acts.

You can say that again.

You presented a strawman fallacy. Again, I am only playing the devils advocate. You did not give an opinion of the verses other than you appear to disagree with them.


If these words of the Apostle Paul are to be ignored by modern Church, what other verses should be ignored? Do we get in the habit of picking and choosing what verses we like and the ones we don’t?
