Hi Billy. Welcome!

The problem that you are faced with if you take a position that Paul isn’t allowing a woman to speak while the “church” is assembled is that Paul does allow women to speak while the “church” is assembled in 1 Cor. 14. I believe that it is imperative that we work on an exegesis that will bring harmony to the passages in context. We wouldn’t want Paul to contradict himself or other clear passages.
