But what is the context of their prophesying? Is it in church? In public? At home? Scripture is absolutely silent on the "where" and "how". To assume that Paul speaks of women prophesying as implying that it happens in the church gathering and yet in multiple places prohibits women from teaching men leaves us with a quandary. On prophesying Paul is descriptive, women prophesy on that side but his prohibitions on women speaking in church and admonishment that they cover their heads as a sign of submission to their husband is far more compelling.Arthur Sidohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03848508095612688493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6643715.post-84268504919494354702014-01-09T10:07:14.421-05:002014-01-09T10:07:14.421-05:00You can't debate with someone who has their mi...You can't debate with someone who has their mind made up can you?<br /><br />Although I differentiate the ideal of ecclessial authority and teaching - it is plain that speaking in a meeting or using a gift is not usurping any authority.
