By her, I mean the generic ‘her’, but honestly, why not? Can a woman, except for Mary, Mary, May, Anna, the Canaanite woman, Wisdom, the woman in Proverbs, Hannah, Ruth, Esther, Deborah, and Martha, tell any man, you know except Judas, Judah, Jonah, David, Saul, Peter and all the other apostles except John, the men in charge at Corinth, the unbelieving husbands of 1st Peter, anything about God?
Doesn’t she deserve to be heard as well? I mean, once she gets out of the kitchen and all, right, guys?
The Corinthians who had already messed up by creating a system of exclusion based on baptism and other issues: ‘If they have any questions, they should ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to speak in church meetings.’
I wonder if this was a slight at Chloe?
Apostle Paul who is clearly fed up with the Corinthians: “Or do you think God’s word originated with you Corinthians? Are you the only ones to whom it was given?”
(1Co 14:35-36 NLT)
