NO - WOMEN RULE

Dear beaberean

I think most of your question has been answered as a reply to Jimple by myself and other brothers.

1Co 14:34  let the women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as also saith the law.

1Co 14:35  And if they would learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home: for it is shameful for a woman to speak in the church. (ASV).

1Ti 2:11  Let a woman learn in quietness with all subjection.

1Ti 2:12  But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

Gen 3:16  Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pain and thy conception; in pain thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

I could see and understand that most of our assembly allowed sisters to teach the Sunday School Children, allowed to testify in Cottage meetings, after the worship meetings and year end meeting etc.

Here, the issue is Headship and Leadership, in the whole church, where the redeemed men are present, it is not permitted to women to speak but women can take lead in their own women meeting.

In Christ
