    Can someone shed light on verses 34-35? Is there somewhere else in KJV that indicates women can preach/teach in church? We had a visiting pastor who indicated women could preach/teach in the church but was not able to give scripture at the time. I've searched and found that women could be messengers outside of the church. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. May God bless and keep all my sisters and brothers is my prayer. Amen.

    You can get many views on this matter, so you need to read the portion you have quoted, as well as 1 Cor 11:3 onwards (specifically on the relationship between the Godhead and mankind). Bearing in mind also that women played a very important part in the Church & most definitely as mothers in raising godly children (e.g. Timothy). Based on what the Scriptures say on this subject & without any further details elsewhere, it seems that apostle Paul does require the silence of women in the Church in regards to teaching. Of course, to sing and pray is allowed, but teaching is the responsibility of men. I know women now pastor & lead & blessings have flowed; but there is a biblical warrant here.
