The Bible on Women Speaking in Communities

Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she EATETH, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness, Proverbs 30:20

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, 2 Timothy 3:6-7

Scientific Evidence that Men and Women are Designed Differently

Woe to the wicked! Disaster is upon them; For the deeds of his hands will be paid back to him. As for my people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths, Isaiah 3:11-12

The mighty men of Babylon have stopped fighting. They have dwelt in strongholds; their might has withered; they became as women; they have burned their houses, her bars are broken, Jeremiah 51:30

"The husband is the head of the family. He may choose any reasonable place or mode of living, and the wife must conform thereto", California State Law

"The husband is the head of the family. He may choose any reasonable place or mode of living, and the wife must conform thereto", Ohio General Code of 1910

Punishing women with branks and gags

The relationship of the wife to the husband is thus represented by the following words:

"he will rule over you" comes from the Hebrew word "mashal": H4910, ma^shal, maw-shal', A primitive root; to rule: - (have, make to have) dominion, governor, X indeed, reign, (bear, cause to, have) rule (-ing, -r), have power.

"bound by the law" comes from the Greek word "deo":  G1210, deo�, deh'-o, A primary verb; to bind (in various applications, literally or figuratively): - bind, be in bonds, knit, tie, wind. See also G1163, G1189.

"the man is the head of the woman" comes from the Greek word "kephale", G2776, kephale�, kef-al-ay', Probably from the primary word?a�pt? kapto� (in the sense of seizing); the head (as the part most readily taken hold of), literally or figuratively: - head.

"under obedience",   "subject yourselves to your husbands", and "submit yourself to your husbands" all come from the Greek word "hupotasso", G5293, hupotasso�, hoop-ot-as'-so, From G5259 and G5021; to subordinate; reflexively to obey: - be under obedience (obedient), put under, subdue unto, (be, make) subject (to, unto), be (put) in subjection (to, under), submit self unto.

"learn in silence with all subjection" comes from the Greek word "hupotage", G5292, hupotage�, hoop-ot-ag-ay', From G5293; subordination: - subjection.

A first class example of why such Scripture is so valuable to this day are the immortal words of Klunt.

See how different translators viewed these critical words:

1Co 14:34 (ASV) let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law.

1Co 14:34 (Darby) Let your women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says.

1Co 14:34 (GLB) Wie in allen Gemeinden der Heiligen lasset eure Weiber schweigen in der Gemeinde; denn es soll ihnen nicht zugelassen werden, da� sie reden, sondern sie sollen untertan sein, wie auch das Gesetz sagt.

1Co 14:34 (KJV) 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.

1Co 14:34 (NAB) women should keep silent in the churches, for they are not allowed to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says.

1Co 14:34 (SRV) Vuestras mujeres callen en las congregaciones; porque no les es permitido hablar, sino que est�n sujetas, como tambi�n la ley dice.

1Co 14:34 (WNT) Let married women be silent in the Churches, for they are not permitted to speak. They must be content with a subordinate place, as the Law also says;

1Co 14:34 (YLT) Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith;

 

^{Following responses from adulteresses, feminists and others who attempt to blaspheme the Word of God and change the meaning of "prophetess" to "teacher"}

Original post in red, rebuttal in navy blue:

<<<Some controlling men>>>

Betty Friedan would be proud of you, but then she HATES the Word of God:

But I want you to know that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ, 1 Corinthians 11:3

He cannot. And just how MUCH control is not something to be decided by amoral feminazis like Friedan. 

<<<It is actually translated as "husband" in one verse, but not in the other, but this is shown in the Adam and Eve relationship mentioned in that verse>>>

Agreed that there's no provision for single women: because Numbers 30 which Paul was quoting makes NO provision for single women to be granted legal rights. Agreed also that "goo-nay" has been translated as both "woman" and "wife", and agreed that it must mean one or the other. But your assertion that this verse applies only to wives, based on the putative "marriage" between Adam and Eve [a concept which didn't even exist at the time], is faulty. "goo-nay" must mean woman, not wife, and clearly Numbers 30 shows how all women are to be under the authority of A man--usually a husband or father, but sometimes a brother or another close male relative.

All of Numbers will be included here because it's pertinent to some other serious errors:

Num 30:1

And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of Israel, saying, This [is] the thing which the LORD hath commanded.

Num 30:2

If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that proceedeth out of his mouth.

Num 30:3

If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond, [being] in her father's house in her youth;

Num 30:4

And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.

Num 30:5

But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand: and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.

Num 30:6

And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;

Num 30:7

And her husband heard [it,] and held his peace at her in the day that he heard [it]: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

Num 30:8

But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard [it]; then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall forgive her.

Num 30:9

But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against her.

Num 30:10

And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath;

Num 30:11

And her husband heard [it], and held his peace at her, [and] disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.

Num 30:12

But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard [them; then] whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD shall forgive her.

Num 30:13

Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may make it void.

Num 30:14

But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day; then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which [are] upon her: he confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard [them] .

Num 30:15

But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard [them] ; then he shall bear her iniquity.

Num 30:16

These [are] the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, between the father and his daughter, [being yet] in her youth in her father's house.  

<<<Biblical marriage in its real meaning is not established without witnesses to a covenant>>>

Because of morons like Betty Friedan and her band of feminazis, who God HATES to His Marrow [whose phallic symbols, or "groves" God commanded the Israelites to pound to DUST] most women in the US who have children do NOT have husbands. But you, of all people Arnold, know that "marriage" doesn't require a ceremony, or even a vow from a woman [a vow which she can't even take unless her husband or father allows it]:

Exo 22:16 And if a man entice a maid that is not betrothed, and lie with her, he shall surely endow her to be his wife.

Exo 22:17If her father utterly refuse to give her unto him, he shall pay money according to the dowry of virgins.

Unless her father "utterly refuse[s]", a man who has sex with a woman must "endow" [read: marry] her.

<<<It says exactly nothing about women being subject to other men than her husband here.>>>

Which is why you must refer to Numbers 30 which DOES say something about other men, and many of those other men are not husbands, which is why "goo-nay" must be a reference to any "woman" and not just a "wife".

<<<Historically, husbands and wives sat on opposite sides of the meeting place>>>

Chapter & verse, please. I've never heard such a preposterous thing, never saw a single verse which says that, never personally witnessed it in any place I've ever been in the entire world, and can imagine it to be true only in sinagogues. I also can't imagine how it would cause such a reaction, but have seen many unruly, noisome women in churches who this should and most likely does apply to.

<<<and Paul prohibited wives from calling out to their husbands to ask questions, but to wait until they were at home to do it >>>

Where does Paul get such authority? Paul was simply quoting Scripture as he always did, not creating new law or changing God's Law.

<<<Asking husbands at home says absolutely nothing about praying, praising and prophesying in public.>>>

<<<The essence of this passage can be seen in the word "silence">>>

G5293,

hupotasso�, hoop-ot-as'-so, From G5259 and G5021; to subordinate; reflexively to obey: - be under obedience (obedient), put under, subdue unto, (be, make) subject (to, unto), be (put) in subjection (to, under), submit self unto.

Would you say that "reflexively to obey" would appear to be a Greek military term? If so, as an ex-military officer, I can knowledgeably advise you that "reflexively obey" does not even begin to imply "terrorized", as these are two different and almost opposite reactions or emotions. You cannot reflexively obey if you're terrorized.

Is there a difference between "superiority" and "authority over"?


Hopefully, we don't have a king, or a country president, or a company president, who isn't."superior" to most if not all other members of his organization in many aspects, otherwise it would make no sense to let such person remain  in that position.  There are exceptions, and they get removed very quickly (though sometimes it might seem like it's not quick enough).

God's Orderly Arrangement, or the "kosmos", is why it works this way, and certainly God would not give man authority over woman unless he was "superior" in precisely the ways that it's important to maintain the order of His "kosmos".   So whether the proper term is "superiority" or "authority over" is irrelevant, because they go hand in hand--in this relationship, one means the other.

Have modern women rejected God's Orderly Arrangement?  En masse!  Polls show that most women believe that women have a "higher IQ" than men, even though there isn't a single shred of statistical evidence to support that belief.  In every single way it can be measured, men are "superior" to women by a LARGE margin. So where do women get this idea?  From Scripture?  No.   From valid studies, or research, or statistics?  No.

From the LYING jew-controlled "news" media?

Why would so many women, en masse, reject all common sense, God's Law, and every shred of statistical evidence--and instead trust a jew?

For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, 2 Timothy 3:6-7

ANNA--LUKE 2:36

Anna has been referenced by some as a woman who was permitted to speak before an assembly or church meeting, but the following Scripture indicates that she was speaking to potential converts to Christianity personally rather than before an assembly.  She was an 84 year old widow, which means that she was not a "prostitute", "fornicator", "whore", nor "harlot":

(Luk 2:36) And there was Anna, a prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher, she was much advanced in days, having lived with an husband seven years from her virginity,

(Luk 2:37) and she is a widow of about eighty-four years, who did depart not from the temple, with fasts and supplications serving, night and day,

(Luk 2:38) and she, at that hour, having come in, was confessing, likewise, to the Lord, and was speaking concerning him, to all those looking for redemption in Jerusalem.

Being a prophet or prophetess does not require one to speak before an assembly, because this could involve only "one gifted with more than ordinary spiritual and moral insight".  By no means does this even imply that Anna violated the rules of the church:

Main Entry: proph�et

1 Corinthians 14:34

The literal translation from Greek

"Keep your women silent in assemblies, because they are never permitted to utter; indeed, they must obey according even to the law.  Moreover, if they wish to understand, they must ask their husbands at home, because it is a disgrace for women to utter in an assembly."

The tone of the following translations differ from the tone of the original Holy Bible:

DARBY:  Let [your] women be silent in the assemblies, for it is not permitted to them to speak; but to be in subjection, as the law also says. But if they wish to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is a shame for a woman to speak in assembly.

KJV:  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. 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.

NKJV:  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.   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.

YLT:  Your women in the assemblies let them be silent, for it hath not been permitted to them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith; and if they wish to learn anything, at home their own husbands let them question, for it is a shame to women to speak in an assembly.

RSV:  For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says. If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

There is something wrong with it, it goes against Jewish law. In fact it is because it is FOR WOMEN that there is this law. It is a *feminist law* - women do NOT have to do time bound mitzvahs. Men only have to. Women are considered HIGHER developed souls and therefore are not required to. Judaism is a very feminist religion - for those who do not understand why certain laws are made like this, they think it is against women, IT ISN'T!

As a member here, she and you have the same right to speak and debate or present ideas as everyone else. Perhaps it would help to know that 1 Tim 2:12 (suffer not a woman to teach) is part of a letter to a local Pastor from Paul, telling him how to organize his Christian Church.

Hi Andy,

I have watched this discussion, with no true debate on the issue.  It seems that it's so volatile that people want to force this issue without benefit of Biblical exegesis.  I thought I might give what I understand is being taught in 1 Tim 2:12. If anyone disagrees, I would appreciate their input in aiding my understanding of this subject.

When I  view a passage, especially one such as this one, that causes so much disagreement among the brethren, I have to take it in the context of the entire Bible.  In this case, Do we have examples of other teachings that would contradict the 1 Tim 2:11-12 teaching if it is to be taken at face value? 

I would have to say yes!  Some commentators on the Bible will admit that to take these verses literally tend to make Paul contradict himself.  The passage of 1 tim 2:11-12 tends to be taken in tandem with 1 Cor 14:34-35 even though the word "silence" in both passages are not the same Greek word nor do they have the same definition.  But when commenting on the meaning of another Paulinean statement,  1 Cor 11:5, many commentators have a dilemma.  They realize and admit there appears to be a problem because that verse does say that a woman can speak in assembly.

 

This doesn't fit the real world, and it seems to be contrary to the entire message of Genesis.  We live in a society where women have clearly gotten the word that adultery is a sin and a crime--yet feminists openly brag on national television that "70% of American women commit adultery within 5 years of getting married", and where DNA studies show that one fifth to one third of the children born to "intact families" aren't even genetically related to the husband of that family.

Were these women "deceived", or did they openly and flagrantly defy the law and the Ten Commandments as a direct result of so many women having been permitted to "speak before an assembly"?

That's not a rhetorical question.  Your opinion about this would be greatly appreciated.

So I believe what's being said by Paul in 1 Timothy 2:11-15 is that it's the responsibility to learn the word of God and teach it to his wife.  Adam allowed Eve to "teach" or "tell" him what to do when he knew better.  From my understanding I see the responsibly here being put on the husband for keeping order in his home.  This can be compared to 1 Cor 14:34-35.  In that passage, it is clear that this is to husband and wife as the man is called the woman's own man.  The Greek phrase translated "own man" is used in many places in the New Testament and is always speaking of a husband and wife.  In fact literal translations, i.e., Youngs show the "man" spoken of in this passage is a "husband". 

 

Agreed.  One of the things that many, many women [feminists?] on the internet tend to preach is that "adultery is a woman's right".  This should offend each and every one of the 264 million putative Christians in this country to the core.  What they're preaching should bring images of hellfire and brimstone to each one of our eyes.

The Holy Bible tells us exactly what we will get as just desserts if we continue to permit feminists to write books and movies and plays with such a central theme, and to make money from it in the process.

Also in 1 Cor 14:34-35 Paul refers to what he is saying as what the Law says.  Bullinger shows this Law to be Gen 3:16  which again is Adam and Eve in a husband and wife relationship. Again even in this passage we see the admonition being placed on the husband to do his responsibility.  So I can come to no other conclusion that 1 Tim 2:11-15 in conjunction with the remainder of the chapter within the context of the Bible is about the order of the home with the man taking his responsibility and not just letting the wife have to get knowledge on her own as Eve obviously did. Paul says if this order is followed and the wife is taught properly by the husband her "salvation" will come through her teaching her children the right and wonderful way of God.  Is this not the comparison to Christ's relationship to the "ekklesia"?  Is that not a husband and wife relationship?

 

Agreed.  But you seem to be refuting the earlier parts of your post.

I humbly submit this for all to critique in hopes we can come to some Godly understanding of this obviously misunderstood subject and bring a hint of unity to God's people and we can follow the admonition of the great St. Paul and live a peaceable and quiet life.  Thank you for your time and attention and my God bless each and everyone of us with peace and quiet.


By the grace of God

Teach versus Prophesy

It has been posited that the scripture which permits women to "pray or prophesy with her head covered" also includes permission for women to "teach", but there are 108 references in the Holy Bible to "teach", which include eleven different, very precise Greek and Hebrew words
