Utter Silence View Hinge 2: 1 Corinthians 11 proves women could prophesy publicly in church

5 Views on “Women Keep Silent" (1 Cor 14_35-36): Women in Ministry part 11 02:14:50 – 02:15:52

Mike presents the strongest challenge to the utter silence view from within the same letter.

1 Corinthians 11:2-6, especially verse 5, says 'every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head,' implying women can and do pray and prophesy in church gatherings with proper head covering. Proponents of utter silence respond that 1 Corinthians 11 refers to private home gatherings, not official church gatherings. Mike rejects this: in the early church, home gatherings were church gatherings, since churches met in homes.

The Man Is The Image And Glory Of God

Last post we discussed how the head covering shamed Christ. Before we carry on with 1 Corinthians 11:5 in our verse by verse discussion, I want to skip over to verse 7 to discuss the second reason that a man is not to have his head covered and this has to do with honoring his head
