Women In Church

1 Corinthians 14
34 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.

Above is the New Testament guidance on church order and the place of women. Following is the accepted Old Testament reference.

Genesis 3
16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

For those of us who read and understand the Bible literaly, this appears to present a problem, at least in 21st Century America, in an America in which woman have a significant voice. Also, Paul provides an example of how the Old Testament passages support New Testament guidance.

This issue is well worth additional consideration....
