Black Spirituality Religion : Black People: What is your opinion of this Bible scripture (1 Corinthians 14:34)?

[Ictoan Itkfae]

Peace Family (Black people,)

"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law." 1 Cor. 14:34 KJV

I hope that I do not disturb the faith of any Bible-believer who is happy with their faith. But Brothers and Sisters what is your opinion of this Scripture? Is it God-inspired? Is it unjust? Is it evil? Is it fair?...

My opinion is that this is nothing more than a control tactic as well as reminder of the level of sexism and misogynistic attitudes that was no secret in those days.

There are far worse things than this in the bible, but it suggests that the bible was written by males who sought to perpetuate a patriarchal society.

The OT is a lot more restrictive. But basically, they follow the same line in both. The OT says it is a curse on the people if the females are the leaders in the community. It generally means the men aren't stepping up

Peace Bro. Kemetstry,

Thanks so much for contributing. Do you know where in the OT that it says women being the leaders is a curse?

I think that women can be leaders but I agree that it would be evil if only women were leaders because that would be sexist oppression of men.

Peace.
Bro. Ictoan
