==> Who is least will be great, this means that everything is upside down comparing to worldly thinking. So if women are subject to men the she is greater, and Children are greatest. We give them everything at take care of them highly.
Luke 9:48
.. “Whoever receives this little child in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me. For he WHO IS LEAST AMONG YOU ALL WILL BE GREAT.”
------------------------------------------------------
==> Bible verse below is about women SPEAKING in the Church about probably private things or maybe they thought they where spiritual. These women did not know Word of God and were probably excited about it without knowing what it means. So it is SILLY to think that women today must ask their husbands IF they know more than Husband about Word of God. My friends God is not silly. And yes in similar situation women should keep quiet even today.
1 Corinthians 14:34-40
Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to SPEAK but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. 35 And IF THEY WANT TO LEARN something, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for women to SPEAK in church.
36 Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached? 37 If anyone THINKS HIMSELF TO BE A PROPHET OR SPIRITUAL, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.

==> This women in Corinth did NOT do things decently and in order. In this cases they shall shut up. Just like men if they do that in the Church, they shall also shut up.
1 Corinthians 14:32
.. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
1 Corinthians 14:40
Let all things be done decently and in order.
-------------------------------------------------------------
==> ALL have to be submissive to one other in the fear of God.
1 Peter 5:5
Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, ALL of you be SUBMISSIVE TO ONE ANOTHER, and be clothed with humility, for
God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.
Ephesians 5:21
.. submitting to one another in the fear of God.
-------------------------------------------------------------
==> IF a man don´t listen AND HEAR what a woman have to say, there is no point for him to pray God WILL NOT hear him.
1 Peter 3:7
Husbands, likewise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life, that your PRAYERS MAY NOT BE HINDERED.
1 Peter 3:1
Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if some do not obey the word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives

For God is not seen except in the eternal light where all pure wisdom comes.
ReplyDeleteThis treasure is not seen but with the spiritual eye, nor received but with the pure in heart, and by those who dwell and abide in the eternal light.
all glory to GOD yes indeed but GOD also instruct us to:
ReplyDeleteKing James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labor in the word and doctrine.
many say that women are not suppose to teach let us consider these Scriptures:
Yes friends Paul certainly told us the time for women to be silent in the churches and be under subjection, but the Sum of God’s word also reveals that there is a time to speak.
Ecc 3:7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, ….. and a time to speak;
GHRIST is the “hidden man of the heart” in a godly woman, and has a time to be silent, and most definitely when and where to speak. Christ in a woman has many roles in His Church including taking His word to those to whom it is presently dead, whether it be physical men or women, under the prescribed circumstance as being labourers with the overseers of the flock.
1Pe 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
There are several scriptural examples of women speaking to men on behalf of CHRIST. In one instance in Scripture, we have women being sent by CHRIST, to witness to men, (to a church) that will later become the foundation of the New Testament Church. The woman witnessed, but in no way was she deluded to now think she is better placed to usurp authority because of the faithless men to whom she has just witnessed.
1) Godly women outside of a congregation/a gathering of many like-minded believers – the church.
Mat 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre…
Mat 28:7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; [a woman given the Truth and commissioned by CHRIST to bear witness to that Truth] and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you…
Mat 28:10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren [be a witness of my resurrection that I am alive] that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
Mar 16:9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
Mar 16:10 And she went and told them that had been with him, [the eleven disciples and all the rest - Luk 24:9] as they mourned and wept.
Mar 16:11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, [by the witness of Mary...typifying all godly women of today] and had been seen of her, believed not. [typifying an unbelieving husband/wife]
2) A woman outside of the church witnessing to men:
ReplyDeleteJoh 4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
Joh 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
Joh 4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
Joh 4:27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her? [Why, Lord, are you talking, having conversation, fellowship with a woman??]
Joh 4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
Joh 4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
The woman talked with Christ, the church, and then became a witness for Christ directing other men to Christ without seeking fame and congregations. She simply witnessed for Christ, pointing others to Christ to consider, ‘Is this not the Christ?’ Women can certainly point ‘men’ to (the body of) Christ to come and see the deeper Truth of God.
3) Believing wives who “sanctify” their unbelieving husbands.
1Co 7:13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him.
1Co 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.
Peter adds this:
1Pe 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word ["without the word" being crammed down their unwilling throats by a nagging wife..] be won by the conversation [behaviour, conduct] of the wives;
Can a believing wife really sanctify her husband without speaking and talking/fellowshipping with her husband?
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Talking and fellowshipping and sharing the truth, witnessing for Christ is NOT an indication that the woman is now the Biblical authority, or a Bishop over “the church of God”. Yet these Scriptures are examples of an important role for woman in the Gospel of Christ.
