In 1Corinthians 14:34-35, wasn’t this
translated from the old language and means for the women not to be "chattering"
in church rather than a prohibition on women ministers? This is what many
churches teach today.
First Corinthians 14:35 holds the key: If
women are to learn, they are to ask their husbands at home, not be formally
taught the Word by a woman preacher. Paul specifically said in 1Timothy 2:12
that a woman is not to teach a man. The fact that all priests were men, and all
the apostles and writers of the New Testament as well, lends support to what
Paul instructed the young Timothy. In the qualifications for the office of
minister in 1Timothy 3:2, Paul said that an individual had to be the husband of
one wife. This automatically disqualifies women.
