One last comment and I do need to run.  No where does scripture call the man the “spiritual head” of a woman.  The only spiritual head that a woman has is Jesus Christ.  The husband is the head in a one-flesh union with her.

Neither men nor women are to shame anyone in public.  We are also not to shame Christ.  But we are all allowed to speak forth in the assembly and we are allowed to test all things and hold fast to what is good.

Since it is clear that there is no OT law that silences women in the assembly, perhaps you can explain why Paul comes out so strong in refutation in verse 36?  What is Paul refuting?
