Judging Prophecy Hinge 3: Why are questions forbidden? Questions as a way to control the judging process

5 Views on “Women Keep Silent" (1 Cor 14_35-36): Women in Ministry part 11 02:57:47 – 03:00:23

Mike addresses the potentially weakest point of the judging prophecy view -- the prohibition on asking questions.

If the passage is about judging prophecy, why does verse 35 forbid women from asking questions? Mike's explanation: the person who controls the questions controls the discussion. Asking probing questions during prophecy evaluation is a way to passively slide into the leadership role of controlling the judgment. This is how interviews work -- the interviewer controls the conversation through questions. Even unintentionally, persistent questioning can direct the outcome of prophecy evaluation.
