Wow! Talk about some bad exegesis of 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.

I am just absolutely stunned! I dont know how you can attribute that passage to “Judaizers”!

That passage was the words of the Apostle Paul instructing the Corinthians in what their conduct should be while they were gathered as a Church body!

No where in God’s word does it say that man and women are to be considered as equal in earthly roles!

Yes men and women are equal in salvation, and as Children of God.

However I would seriously check yourself and your motivations in trying to read too much earthly equality into God’s Word!

Otherwise you make the same error that homosexuals make in trying to extend passages far beyond their plain readings to try and say that homosexuality is not a sin.

If you truly think that God’s Word infers earthly role equality for men and women then tell me why Paul did not demand that Philemon free the slave Onesimus to be earthly equal men?

There are some deep insights into why The Apostle Paul did not delve into Social and Political issues, and because of that he did believe that there should be a spiritual reordering of the relationship between Philemon and Onesimus bur He did not reorder their earthly relationship.
It is one thing for God to confer on an individual: man or woman a place of leadership, and that conferring would come through the Holy Spirit speaking to multiple individuals to confirm it, men if needed to allow that leadership role to happen.
However it is not of God for individuals to demand leadership roles because they believe they have a right to equality.
