Church
13. Does the Bible forbid a woman to pray in the churches, since it is
written: “Let your women keep silence in the churches” (1 Corinthians |
No, it
doesn’t. A woman is allowed both to pray and to prophesy when the saints are
gathered together to worship God, for Paul says that “every woman who prays
or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head” (1 Corinthians 11:5
– NKJV). If women were not allowed to pray or to prophesy, Paul would not
have said these words. |
Here are
the things a woman is not permitted to do when the saints are gathered
together: she is not allowed to teach nor to talk with other people, nor to
ask questions. For it is shameful for women to do these things in the
churches. |
