Shameful for *Who*?

Posted September 11, 2007

None of this is to say we shouldn’t test what we’ve been taught, talk it out, use the community as the context for “field testing” theology, work at iron sharpening iron, hold our teachers accountable, etc. It is only to say that the worship gathering is not the right forum for the discussion. — Jared Wilson, Further Thoughts on Sermon-centric Worship

“When you come together… Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. [...] If there is anything [the women] desire to learn, let them ask their [men] at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.” — The Apostle Paul, 1 Corinthians 14:26,29,35 (ESV)

I wish Jared would go the whole way and require the non-preaching men of his church to wear dresses!

    This is such an unfair, uncharitable, and superficial response, it hardly merits reply.

    I addressed the issue of “weighing” in the post. You either didn’t read it or wish to misrepresent me.

    You said, “the worship gathering is not the right forum for the discussion.”

    The Apostle said, “the worship gathering is exactly the right forum for the discussion.”

    Is that from the Travis Authorized Version?
