Introduction of View 5: The Judging Prophecy View (Mike's own view)

5 Views on “Women Keep Silent" (1 Cor 14_35-36): Women in Ministry part 11 00:05:38 – 00:07:09

Mike introduces his preferred interpretation, which limits the silence command specifically to the testing/judging of prophecy.

This view holds that women can prophesy in church but cannot participate in the judging or testing of prophecy. After someone gave a prophecy, the church would evaluate whether it was genuinely from God. Paul restricts women from this evaluative role because it constitutes a leadership function reserved for men. Mike says he came to this project hoping to become egalitarian but found the complementarian evidence compelling.
