Billy,

Thanks for your comments here! We appreciate those who disagree agreeably. Now regarding what you said:

The phrase “anyone” is not refering to women…

The fact is that Paul said in 1 Corinthians 14 that the “whole church” is gathered together and they all may prophesy. I know of no one who says that only men may prophesy and exegetes 1 Cor. 14 that way. Please explain from the context how you get everyone in the whole church as meaning only males. I believe that it is very important that we do not put our traditions into scripture and stop the ministry of anyone merely because of our human tradition.

Truth is what is important and I appreciate your challenge. You have challenged in a very gracious manner. I hope that you see our challenge back in the same loving manner.

Blessings!
Cheryl
