Freed By Christ to Serve Christ
What Almost Heaven stated, from (equip.org) mirrors the thought of what I posted above with reference to a mans responsibility concerning his wife and women teaching in the church. Knowing about the pagan goddess cult is a perfect example of always seeking out background contexts before applying Scripture. It avoids false interpretation and in this case a man lording his authority over a woman. The fact is a woman should never have to teach a man if she is properly and spiritually fed by her husband. If that is not the case then she may need to teach him, but should do it at home, so as to not give the wrong biblical impression to others.The shamefulness should not be pictured as an embarrassed woman running away in shame but a picture of a woman who knew that men had a role given to them by God and she is trying to take that role to herself. Again, it goes back to the model of God being the giver of wisdom to man and he being obedient to give the same to his wife. The same sin would be seen if man was trying to teach God! Looking at our society we can see where that has gotten us!!!
For reference: 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 NKJV
(34) Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says.
(35) And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church.
