A Time To Keep Silence & A Time To Speak

It says women should be silent and you are not doing that. In some commandments that you preach you do not follow. You are not following God’s commandments. Repent.

 

A servant of the Lord lives continually in the fear of the Lord, and therefore strives to demonstrate himself a workman in the Word of God that will not find himself ashamed of the Gospel of Christ because of his failure to prepare to give an answer to any that asks a reason for the hope that is in him.  Furthermore, it is characteristic of that servant to “be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth” (2 Timothy 2:24).

It is our duty to deny ourselves (e.g., Luke 9:23), but in no wise to deny God (even while professing that we know Him), so when a stranger articulates our duty to repent, we are instant to consider whether we have false doctrine or false practice from which we must immediately turn.  So, in that spirit I have considered your words and am (by the mercies of God) prepared to give answer.

The passage you reference is at 1st Corinthians, and says this:

“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.” (1 Cor 14:34)

This commandment in the New Testament Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is part of how we are distinguished as the Bride of Christ. The women of WBC keep silence in the church service, demonstrating that they recognize they are to be under obedience to either their father or (if married) their husband. This obedience to the authority constituted by God from the beginning is also demonstrated in the fact that the women of WBC do not cut their hair and while in the church service they have their heads covered (see 1 Corinthians 11:5-10).  that passage shows how critical the matter of the woman’s demonstrated submission to God’s standard of authority (chain-of-command, if you will) inasmuch as it closes with “because of the angels“. That is, this is a matter that goes (for the women who violate it and the men — fathers or husbands — who allow it) to the heart of what cast a full third of the created race of angels into darkness: Pride-driven rebellion against God!

There is, as the great preacher Lemuel articulates at Ecclesiastes 3:7a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;”  When these women of WBC are not in the church service they understand, love, embrace, cherish, and make full proof of their ministry to their co-elect, their husbands, their children, and the reprobate world.  They speak of God, His attributes, His commandments, His providence, His judgments, and that most glorious of things — His return in power and glory!  They speak, because; like those whom Christ referenced at Luke 19:40, if they did not speak the very stones would immediately cry out!

Thank you for allowing me to provide some bit of light on this glorious symbol of God’s blessed, virgin Bride WBC, and her members.
