My last comment of which you probably are very thankful.
Until people are willing to take the scriptures for what they say, not add to them (huge assumptions taught as truth), and stop studying them through the eyes of today’s society this is a waste of time. The above statement about why Paul referred to Adam and Eve is absolutely ridiculous! Read the bigger context and stop picking out little words and trying to explain away the litteral writtings.
God honors obedience not modern day assumptions. I say this with a spirit of love.
Michael,
I’m not sure where you got your information, but I would study again with a different source. The word Priscilla is transliterated from the Greek. The Greek word used for her name 5 times is a Diminutive of Prisca. Her name means “ancient”.
I do believe women are of equal value to men, but clearly have different roles.
The phrase “anyone” is not refering to women, and it is clear that throughout the book of Acts the men are counted in the numbering of the church at Jerusalem. I Cor. 14:34 is the very passage that says a women is not permitted to speak. I know the arguement of it is in the context of tongues, but he uses the same language in I Tim 2. It is not cultural or for a specific time or place because in I Cor. 14 he takes it back to the law and in I Timothy 2 he takes it back to Adam and Eve. With this being the case it must be a role issue.
The issue of both passages has to do with speaking and teaching while assembled as a “church”. Priscilla did not teach during the church gathering.
