Go and do your homework, and don't respond until and unless you do. If you want to be treated like an adult, act like one.
That would be in line with the design and plan of God, from the Beginning, for man and woman.
With the rare exception of those who desire to be 100% free unto the Lord - meaning, unencumbered by marriage responsibilities.

even applying the caveat of the 'contortionist' reply, that is no reply to what I said
if you do not want to, or you cannot reply, simply say so

yes there are
and women were not, as a general rule as opposed to the situation in the church in Corinth which had myriad problems. told to be seen and not heard. ever
women prophesied in church in the NT. were they using sign language?
so any church, according to some, that allow women to even sing in church or say anything...including hello how are you...are in error
silent is silent
Start at post 77 and work forward. You will see that you did not make the claim that started the dialogue.
I don't go backward (Philippians 3:13). If you have a refutation, by all means give it.
That is not a biblical statement.
Give chapter and verse where women prophesied in the context of a church service, apart from the symbol being present that there was authority over them in the men who were present.
In context, it is referring to a woman teaching or usurping authority over a man.
Paul said that if anyone is contentious about the propriety in worship thing, that he had no such custom, as to head coverings, and that neither did the churches of God.
Iow, it was not a custom (it was not merely a cultural observance).
In fact, Paul refers to the order of creation (in 1 Corinthians 11:10) when he speaks of this propriety.
So, there is something eternal to this ordinance of holy scripture. For it is written in the timeless word of God.
But I see what happened.
I supported the claim that was made by @EmilyNats.
So, you think that the fact that the claim was supported by a different person means that the claim remains unsupported?

Yes, because Emily has not affirmed that the passages you cited are the ones that motivated her claim.
I am saying that the passages that were cited substantiate her claim...and the passages themselves affirm this reality.
Actually, the admonition to be silent in in 1 Corinthians 14, while the 'teach or usurp authority' is in 1 Timothy. They are not the same context.
They are in the same topical context, according to the hermeneutic that we find in 1 Corinthians 2:13 (kjv).
You just don't get it. Not only is your reasoning circular, but you are simply wrong. Only Emily herself can affirm that those verses substantiate her claim; nobody else can do so.
That's not how context is used. Paul wrote to Timothy with specific issues in mind. He wrote to the Corinthians with different specific issues in mind.
You haven't taken any formal training in biblical interpretation, have you?
Even though I can indeed give verses that substantiate her claim; which is affirmed by the verses in question; because they do indeed substantiate her claim; as can be seen by anyone with a brain.
