Mark

I would like to suggest that it is not very ‘Christlike’ to always be slagging a brother in Christ even though Grudem has a different opinion to people. I was glad to hear Cheryl that you had an open debate with mutual respect-how did it go?

The evidence to suggest that Paul is quoting a Corinthian standard is very very limited. The information for it is far to detailed for this blog but if any are interested i would like you to an article written by Don Carson, who deals with the questions graciously and honestly i believe.

Please don’t be put off by the fact it is on the CBMW site.

I don’t think your useof Psalm 68 is good biblical exegesis. What is you understanding that this is referencing a command that women can preach in the churches or even connected to the theme of 1 Corinthians.
