TC Smythe,

The quoted “law” is the oral law as Don said.  It is not God’s law but the tradition of men.  I don’t bring two interpretations and if you think I do, you will have to show me where I do that.  Have a look at my previous articles on 1 Cor. 14.  See especially http://strivetoenter.com/wim/2008/09/24/forbid-not/

The letter written to Paul that prompted Paul to write the book of 1 Corinthians is responded to throughout the book and 1 Cor. 14:34, 35 is attributed as a quote from that letter and verse 36 is Paul’s response to the quote which is a very strong contradiction to the two verses that precede it.

I hope this helps!
