Sorry this is not true!

Paul said each letter should be read in all the churches he established:

And when this letter has been read among you, arrange for it also to be read in the congregation of the La·o·di·ceʹans and for you also to read the one from La·o·di·ceʹa. Colossians 4:16


I am putting you under the solemn obligation by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers. 1Thessalonians 5:27

The letters are for all the congregations!

Paul was simply instructing order in the then Corinthian church. The Corinthian church women were not organized in their speaking in church and that was why Paul said they should be silent.

Why would God put the HOLY GHOST in men and women and expect women to be quiet?

Haba, don't be biased.

We do not box God and who He decides to use. If He used a donkey to declare His intentions, aren't women better than donkeys?
A balanced analysis of the verses quoted will help a lot. We may want to ask ourselves 'was Paul speaking to the universal assembly or a local assembly? I am of the opinion that he was addressing the assemblies in Corinth and Ephesus where there were contending issues that needed to be addressed ASAP. Remember, same Paul had women (Priscilla, Phoebe, Junia(mentioned by Paul as an Apostle - Romans 16:7), Chloe, Euodia, Syntyche, Mary, Julia, Tryphaena, Tryphosa ) who worked with him and many of them must have been in leadership positions and even had Churches in their houses (Romans 5) and were admins in other branches.
The verses in the book of Timothy and Corinthians did not address universal Christian women and have been taken contextually without an understanding. There was a mention of women keeping quite but elsewhere in Corinthians and Joel, the gift of prophesy is encouraged and promised. How do you prophesy and pray when you are quite? May the revelation of Christ be full in our hearts. Amen

Exactly the point I was trying to prove.

Paul was directly addressing the Corinthian church and not as a general standard that women shouldn't lead churches.

Very aggressive as a defender....

Will he transfer his aggressiveness to his players?

GreatAchiever1:
Go and re-do that research. I'm 100 percent certain that you got your research from Egalitarian sources which are not but pure lies.

This topic is very sensitive and as a result many Christians have different varying opinions on it .

However, in describing ministry gifts, Paul never designated the office of pastor solely to a man. So are the other ministry offices.

Think about it carefully.

Congrats to him...I was his big fan at Man utd. No one (or 1%) in world football could curve balls like him.

However, his tattoos remain a mystery.

Go for a long walk to calm my nerves, read my Bible to build faith and Worship 🎵

No stress, worries or hassles in God's presence just rest.

They were God's commandments through Paul for the setup of the church, and not Paul's opinions.

1 Corinth 14:37, "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

1 Corinthians 14 (KJV)
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
²⁹ Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.
³⁰ If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.
³¹ For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
³² And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
³³ For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
³⁴ 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.
³⁵ And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
³⁶ What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
³⁷ If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

I just did a research....

When Paul admonished women not to speak in church, he wasn't speaking against women ordained as pastors. What he was speaking against was the disorderly manner some high status women in the Corinthians church who taught and preached in their services.

Paul wanted these women to correctly submit to church authority in the Corinthian church before handling church leadership.

Paul wasn't referring to women pastoring a church.

The New testament was in Greek, so there are bound to some misinterpreting in English.

All church leadership in the Bible were males, but that doesn't mean a woman can't head a church.

Most of what Paul said against women leading in church was from His own opinions not God's.

Why would God gift women with the same spiritual gifts as men if He didn't want them to pastor churches?

God is the perfect father.....

Unlike some earthly fathers, He is 100% approachable because He is 100% ❤️

No time in His presence is wasted. In His presence is joy, peace, strength, glory, promotion, blessings, increase, power, angels, favour... add yours.

This man just cheated death by the narrowest of margins....✈️⚰️

What if he was too scared to jump at the last minute?

Such is life o jare.

But God Almighty be praised.

You need to comment with wisdom and not open your mouth without thinking

Fortunately, I think carefully before I speak or rather write in this platform. I don't talk or write anyhow.

I follow prophecies, and believe it or not, prophetically USA is at the brink of collapse. DT has allowed pride enter into his head and he's acting as a democratic dictator by his impetous policies especially on immigration.

Prophetically DT life is still in danger as he has more enemies now than before.

crossbreedwears:
Less than 4 years from now, he will leave office and the next president will reverse most of his stupid policies

He may not finish his tenure.... he's likely to be impeached or assassinated.

He has too many enemies than friends because of his hasty policies.

With God there no impossibility....

according to your faith be it unto you.

This is a rotary dial telephone, like the kind that we had. We initially had a black one and we later had a blue phone.

No privacy when making calls with this phone ☎️....had to wait to midnight or when no one around to make personal calls then.

Joseph didn't rely on fasting and prayers to solve the famine in Egypt, he used wisdom.

Truth must be told: while fasting is extremely important because certain things can't happen spiritually unless we fast, our leaders must not tempt God by refusing to do what ought to be done for selfish reasons.

No condition or position is permanent....

Change is inevitable.

The last can be the first tomorrow and vice versa.

I thought about this earlier...🤔

Emotional and mental health determines how fast or slow one's ages.

God's presence too determines how one ages as with Moses.

...for what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

May God keep us.

💔 heartbreaking....

Mostly happens in a loveless marriage.

A respectable draw especially between 🐻‍❄️ and 🦏.

After fighting for so long, they will stare at each other in utter fatigue

Between hard drug and porn, I wonder which one is more lucrative $ in the USA.

Both however are roads to no return.

Invest wisely osimhen now you are young....money get wings🪽 e fit fly unexpectedly.

See the lacerations/scars on the girl's back?

Where did she get them from? Domestic or boyfriend abuse?

Poverty is a choice.... don't blame the church.

Many Christians today remain in poverty because they don't understand the principles of God's blessings and hard work.

I've caught my wife cheating more than 3 times but I forgave her. There was a time I caught her sending nude to someone and I still forgave her. After that I still caught her cheating again but right now I'm finding it to forgive but she's still in my house, it keep ringing in my head everyday.

At this point I honestly wanna send her packing. What do you think guys? I wouldnt say I'm a saint. I've cheated before and she has caught me severally in the past too but that was in the past which i've stopped like 4 years ago.

Probably fiction....but several couples are passing through what you narrated here.

How to handle a cheating spouse that refuses to stop?

Divorce o.

Adultery is forgivable, but not negotiable.

... as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the DEPTHS OF SATAN...
— Revelation 2:24

This man is talking like this because he doesn't know the depths of satan.

If he knows why wickedly wicked the 👿 is , he will not sell his soul so cheaply.

Guys, don't give up on God

Na so 👍

A big mistake is marrying out of desperation. No matter your age, never allow anyone pressurize you to marry or you might make a huge mistake you will live to regret.

Marriage isn't by force o. You marry someone you genuinely love/are attracted to, can tolerate/forgive despite their flaws and are comfortable/compatible with.

Wait patiently for God. Worship Him sincerely, He will lead or bring the right person to you.

How time flies...nothing, absolutely nothing lasts forever.

If his REPORTEDLY looted billions $€ could keep Abacha alive, he could still have been in power today. But it couldn't.

Even madam Abacha looks so old and wrinkled, beauty faded.

We all especially our politicians should fear God: He alone determines our eternal fate.

Zonefree:
Nigerians jubilated more than this on hearing the news of Abacha's death.

Decades later, same Abacha's evil government is far better than Tinubu's government.

I won't forget that day Abacha died...it was as if Nigeria won the world cup plus nations cup

Sadly we are far worst economically than under the evil dictator.

How is attaining a PhD a miracle??

I thought it's more of intellectual activity than spirituality?

Anyways, it's good to thank God for every thing including our achievements.

President trump is already an old man, but he looks and keeps fit.

So His slip is rather surprising but vulture meat for many of his critics.
