@HollandGreig This takes us back to the same letter in 1Cor 6:2-3. Paul says the saints will judge the world and angels. Saints includes both men and women. If we will judge angels, then we ought to be able to judge matters of this life. Thus, "be...

@Vibeauxs @Eric_Conn As for Jdg 4:6-9, the first thing to note is that Deborah was the very Word of God in the land as both prophet and judge, so Barak was to submit to her word. Second, that he said he would only go if God’s prophet went with him sh...

@Heiserite @lutherananswers Let me re-explain Paul's reasoning. If she will judge angels, then surely she has the authority over her own head to decide whether to cover her head while praying or prophesying. It explains it quite clearly and complet...

@lutherananswers Paul already explained the angels reference. According to 1Co 6:2-3, the saints⎯which includes women⎯will judge the world and angels. If this is the case, then they should be able to decide whether to cover or uncover their heads. Th...

@joosedotson @kristenmcknight 1Co 6:2-3 says that saints will one day judge the world and angels. This supports the idea that all humans should work on their ability to discern and judge matters. In fact, in 1Co 11:10 Paul says that women should have...
