should women hold Church leadership? Learn what a christian author says

          WOMAN AND CHURCH LEADERSHIP.

According to 1CORRITHIANS 14:34, the Bible says, ‘’let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them for to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is shame for women to speak in the church. What came the world of God only from you? Or came it unto you only.

    There is an underlying truth behind this biblical injunction from Paul. The church of Corinth was heavily blessed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Like the bible tells us in JAMES 1:17, God does not have preference in His dispatch of good gift. So the Corinth women folk were heavily blessed with diverse gift. This excessive gifting lead to insubordination from them. In most of the church’s services, they indulged in unnecessary arguments, and claims of spiritual information. In spite of the pastor’s effort to put them right, they refused and always claimed that they heard the information from God. But from Paul’s spiritual judgment (1 CORRINTHIANS 2:15), their claims were simply heretic. Now, let’s examine the above claim from our text. THE SIGN OF INSUBORDINATION: ‘’but they are commanded to be under obedience’’ verse 34c; PRETENCE TO LEARN: ‘and if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home’’ verse 35a; CLAIMS THAT GOD SPOKE TO THEM: ‘’what? Came the word of God out from you? Or came it unto you only?’’

      From the above, it could be said that Paul was not against the Women hearing from God, but they should not claim sole possession of this gift. Consequently, Paul was clearly admonishing women to learn. They must not feel that possession of the Holy Ghost or some Spiritual gift is an alternative to knowledge. It is an admonition to all Christians that knowledge supersedes even spiritual gifts. It is the ultimate.
     But if a woman had taken time to learn under an experience tutor, then what stops her from teaching. Note that Paul was not trying to introduce man’s supremacy into Christian worship. He was only admonishing all to learn. In 1 TIMOTHY 2:11, he shows how they must learn. It reads, ‘’let the women LEARN in silence with all subjection.’’ The learning period must be a time of obedience and silence. And why should she learn if she is forbidden or not allowed to teach what she had been taught. Every woman who has taken time to learn can become a teacher herself.
