August 9, 200818 yr Who am I to judge weather or not God has called a woman to preach? If a woman feels called, that is between her and God. I would venture to say that Beth Moore is doing some good work in the name of God from behind the pulpit. I'm sure there are many other women who are going about the work of the Lord and not being silent.

August 9, 200818 yr A number of things I saw at my first Catholic mass interested me. One of those things was that a woman got up, in front of the whole church, and actually read a reading. gasp......This would have been unheard of in my Baptist Church. Women in "my" Baptist church was only allowed to play the piano/organ, lead the singing, take care of the nursey and cook the food for the potlucks. To see women have such an active roll in their church amazed me. When I got more involved with the church I saw that women were allowed to actually have a voice in the running of the church. I was so pleased and yes I enjoy my active roll in our church and am pleased that the Catholic faith understands that women have something to give the church other than the ones I mentioned above.

August 10, 200818 yr Author It's reasons like this makes me question the Christian faith. What about it questions your faith? I thought it was clear that the explanation of the verse is based on a culture issue at the time and the only permanent meaning is to have order in worship.
August 10, 200818 yr The Bible is Right. So you feel women shouldn't be allowed to participate in church services?
August 10, 200818 yr So you feel women shouldn't be allowed to participate in church services? I think what Larry is saying, is that what Paul is saying is correct, when applied to that specific church at that specific time.
August 11, 200818 yr Fan, what does the Bible say? There are written words in the Bible where woman had main roles that men wasn't used and they weren't "silent". A woman shouldn't be a Pastor, Elder, Deacon or teach men as a leader. Scripture not me. She can give testimony, pray, sing solo (my wife), Hollar out AMEN, ask for prayers, and say "I do".
