“Paul is likely forbidding women to speak up and judge prophecies (this is in line in the immediate context; cf. 1 Cor 14:29) since such an activity would subvert male headship. ‘ Law also says’. Paul is probably thinking of the woman’s creation “from” or “for” the man. (see 11:8-9; Gen. 2:20-24)…”
I cannot find Paul saying anything on the judgement of prophecies unless you mean “interpretation of” which is in the passage. So Paul, in this view is likely forbidding wives (specificaly) to publicaly correct error since it would subvert male headship (interpretation of Eph 5).
So a woman correcting errant prophecy in the church would subvert male headship (of the home).
“I think a woman can bring questions and even correction to her husband…”
“Paul is likely forbidding women to speak up and judge prophecies (this is in line in the immediate context; cf. 1 Cor 14:29) since such an activity would subvert male headship.”
A wife then correcting her husband at home does not subvert male headship (in the home, Eph 5) but a wife correcting her husband at church would subvert male headship (in the home, Eph 5).
Yet a women (married or not) cannot correct men (married or not) in church because of male ecclesiastical authority. (1 Tim 3)
