Woman's Role in the Church


LIBERATION

For centuries, Christian women have indeed been robbed of their true status in the church of Christ because of bible translators and many expositors have failed to perceive the true setting of the Apostle Paul’s words. Now, with the understanding that Paul confronted the deception of Judaism by quoting from the Oral Law, anyone should able to perceive easily that Paul’s writings in I Corinthians 14:34-40 are not contradicting or anti-feminist, but rather liberating women from silence to speak in tongue and to prophesy as God intended!

The Steve Chan’s Modern Translation on
I Corinthians 14:34-40:

"Let the women keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but let them subject to themselves," as the Oral Law says, "And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church." What! Did the word of God originate with you (Judaizers), or are you the only one its has reached and no others? If you think you are so spiritual, you better understand what I just said before, that women and men should prophesy and speak in tongues as the commandment of the Lord! ... Therefore, brothers and sisters, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak in tongues (Italics are mine).

This site will update continually. Please come back to this site to read the latest. The next discussion will be on the Law of Silence vs. Speaking in Tongue and Prophecy. (soon to be published).
