The inspired Word of God issued to us through
the apostle Paul for all congregations makes no mention of allowing women to
'dispute' or raise
'challenging questions',
or to ignore the headship arrangement in any way. The authority of the
congregational order from God is addressed to brothers in the faith, to prophets
and husbands, and the gifts of the Spirit to be expressed in an
orderly
fashion, in turns, for true benefit. For if they spoke at the same time,
unbelievers would reasonably think them mad, and would not benefit. As the
Lord's commandment does not embrace women as "brothers"
in the faith, "brothers" are urged to "let the women keep
silent in the congregations" and "let them be
(allow them to be) in subjection". They are not
to speak even to ask questions, but "let them question their own husbands
at home". Whenever a woman speaks in a congregation of God, she is
disgracing herself, her husband (her head), other men present, The Christ, and
Almighty God. No man standing, sitting, or adopting any other physical or
spiritual position before the congregation can alter the Will of God respecting
the headship arrangement issued through His Son Christ Jesus our Lord.
