Style Argument 3: The verses logically contradict 1 Corinthians 11:5

5 Views on “Women Keep Silent" (1 Cor 14_35-36): Women in Ministry part 11 00:36:33 – 00:37:05

Mike addresses the argument that these verses contradict Paul's earlier allowance of women prophesying.

1 Corinthians 11:5 says 'every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head,' implying women can pray and prophesy publicly. Critics say this contradicts 14:34-35 which says women should be silent, therefore Paul could not have written both. Mike argues this is only a contradiction if you take the most extreme (utter silence) view, which most people reject.
