I read a comment given in response to a video of a woman who gave a sermon in a church.
The commenter asked: "Why is a woman preaching?"
The response he got was: "Today was women's Emphasis Sabbath."
He then responded: "Not being hateful. Just wondering. It just didn't seem to be right."
What are your thoughts about women preaching in church? I know Paul had something to say about women not teaching in the church but remaining silent (1 Tim. 2:12).
Was that Paul's personal belief? Was it a command of God? Did it have anything to do with culture?

Paul is NOT saying that women should keep silent in the Church(assembly of called-out-ones), but that the word of the day is order, not disorder. If men; to another man’s wife, to be speaking nonsense, and women; to another women’s husband, to be speaking nonsense; then there will be chaos in the Church--guaranteed!
This is why Paul gave instruction to pastors to have the older women teach the younger women so as to not take them(hot young babes) into their private chamber for “personal” counseling, as that will lead to chaos! Yet, how many Churches(assemblies of called-out-ones), in our history, have not harkened to Paul’s wisdom and split church, after church, giving “personal” council to hot young babes!
“Women keep silent in the church”--NONSENSE! Women give the well-message concerning exhortation better than anyone I have ever heard! I think it is partly because they have learned to be wives and we men have to learn from them what it is to be the betrothed of God! Women, speak up! Your words, like you, are beautiful!
