What is the cultural context in (or into) which Paul wrote those words?

On what evidence do you base this conclusion?

Show me the verse(s) in the Law to which Paul referred in 1 Cor 14:34, and I'll accept your position as sound.

I believe that God created men and women as equals: spiritually, positionally, mentally, emotionally, and relationally. He made them different physically. That Jesus did not "grasp" equality with God has no bearing on the nature of the two genders. It has little bearing on anything else...

Telling you that your argument is logically flawed is not "making excuses".

That’s the usual argument, but it doesn’t hold water here. Like I challenged Tom Cullen, show the verse in the law to which “Paul” was referring.

. The only issue I have is people claiming Scripture says something that it can’t be saying. This normally happens when people don’t consider all the relevant evidence but rely on out-of context verses.

There was no condescension, just an observation that your comment did not connect to mine in any rational way, because you took my two words completely out of their context and reacted to them as though they fairly represent the totality of my position. Like I said, you missed the point. Twice...

Now, show the verse in the law to which Paul was referring. Hint… there isn’t one. That means those aren’t Paul’s words.

Miss the point much? Was my comment made in the context of every Christian, or of something else?

Scripture doesn’t say, “Let the women be silent” anywhere. Pay more careful attention and stop manipulating the text for your agenda.

Perhaps, but it’s terribly sloppy grammar. Which contradicts 1 Cor. 11 which permits women to pray in public worship. If they can’t speak, then the fact they are praying is moot. Not in any reputable dictionary, it isn’t. “Usurp” is an English word needing no translation into English. It means...

That’s an ad hominem argument, not a rational defence of your position. It has no evidentiary value.

Ah… so it’s not in Scripture. Let’s stick to what is.

You are implying belief in the blatant and debunked lie that Cain was Satan’s offspring. Eve’s place is beside Adam, not as a subservient assistant but as a strong and equal partner.

The Quran offers nothing but deception. Why bother with it when we have God’s word in the Bible? Also, it is considered “spamming” to introduce an irrelevant topic in a discussion thread.

This is a classic case of circular reasoning.

Did He say why? No. Don't assume where Scripture is silent.

You would do well to read the text more carefully, and to consider its implications before making your case. The scripture states, "the head of the woman is the man; both are singular and specific. The only relationship where the man is the head of the woman is in marriage. If you think every...

Scripture doesn't say anywhere that women may not have spiritual authority. Scripture does show a woman teaching a man. Scripture nowhere precludes women from the role of pastor-teacher. People just think it does because they aren't rigorous in examining the text, the context, and the...
