I wasn’t there and I do not claim to have all the answers but if Paul means for a woman to be completely silent in churches, then why does he tell them to pray with their heads covered back in chapter 11? Would he not tell them not pray at all, or at least until they leave the meeting or get to their homes? And what are we going to do with Chloe who is asking all these questions that Paul is answering? Will she not read the responses to the entire church? Before you say “no!”, what about Pheobe? She delivered the letter from Paul to the church at Rome, meaning she also read it to the entire congregation that was assembled together, both men and women. And what about Philip’s four daughters who prophesied? Who did they prophesy to? The open air in a field somewhere? No! They prophesied to believers that were assembled together!

Paul tells the church at Corinth it is better for them to prophecy because they speak in a language that everyone understands and the entire congregation is built up instead of speaking in tongues and only the one speaking being edified. He explains to them the order, or the way they need to do these things so they do not create confusion, since God is a God of order and not confusion. And, Paul points out that when nonbelievers come into the meetings, their hearts will be exposed when people prophecy and they will be humbled before God! </p> prophecy, converstaion, talk, coffee, order, confusion, chaos, tongues, fire, Holy Ghost, Spirit, edify, edification Paul encourages the believers at Corinth to prophecy instead of speak in tongues, a foreign concept to our charismatic churches today who often push speaking in tongues on believers.

That is the order of authority. 40:27 no <p>Paul is going to bring order to the chaos at the church in Corinth. Since we started studying this letter, we have seen all kinds of chaos in this church and it is going to get worse before it gets better. Paul begins to instruct them how to conduct themselves as they come together as one body and he immediately establishes the order of authority which tells me there were some women who were out of order and dishonoring the authority God has set in place. Any time this takes place, chaos ensues. Paul goes back to Creation when God created the human race, the order He created male and female and how He created male and female. God created the male human being then placed him in the Garden of Eden. Then He took a rib from the male human being, and created a female human being. This is why Paul says God is the ultimate authority, man is next in authority, then the female. In today’s society, we try to re-establish authority and it does not line up with God’s will, whether we like that or not. </p> authority, in charge, boss, jefe, creation, power, control, confusion, confused, wife, husband, man, woman Paul is going to bring order to the chaos at the church in Corinth.

Timothy was a young man that Paul had converted to Jesus and he had traveled with Paul on his journeys as he started new churches and visited churches he established in the past.
