Is It Lawful For Women To Speak
In The Church?
1 Clem. 1:3
For ye did all things without respect of persons, and ye walked after the ordinances of Alahayim, submitting yourselves to your rulers and rendering to the older men among you the honor which is their due. On the young too ye enjoined modest and seemly thoughts: and the women ye charged to perform all their duties in a blameless and seemly and pure conscience, cherishing their own husbands, as is meet; and ye taught them to keep in the rule of obedience, and to manage the affairs of their household in seemliness, with all discretion.​
-
Let us find out what "the rule of obedience" in the church that was taught is for the women:
1Co 14:34
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.
-
In part, "the rule of obedience" for the women is to keep silence in the churches. Not only does it profess their obedience unto Yache by doing what He commanded, but it's also a manifestation of the moderation of their tongue to perform this good work.
1 Clem. 21:6-7
……. Let us guide our women toward that which is good: 7 let them show forth their lovely disposition of purity; let them prove their sincere affection of gentleness; let them make manifest the moderation of their tongue through their silence; let them show their love, not in factious preferences but without partiality towards all them that fear Alahayim, in holiness…
-
It is of great price in the sight of Alahayim to perform this command showing moderation by being of a meek and quiet spirit:
1Pe 3:4
But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of Alahayim of great price.
Married Women with Believing Husbands
1Co 14:35
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
-
If a married woman wants to learn anything, she ought to ask her husband at home outside of the church setting to avoid the shame of speaking in church;
1Co 14:37
If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
-
These are the commandments of the Lord for a married woman to abide in the rule of obedience and uphold the faith in the churches.
​
Unmarried Women or Women with an Unbelieving Head of Household
1 Timothy 2:1-12
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
-
Women, whether married or not are to abide under the rule of obedience to be in silence not usurping authority over the man and learning in silence with all subjection in the churches. For their maintenance of purity in the faith, it is a shame for a woman to speak, teach in the church, or usurp authority over a man to teach him doctrine. If a woman doesn't have a husband or father in the faith, she may ask the ministers of the church outside of the church setting any questions she may have for her learning to uphold the law, as the ministers are given for the edifying of the body.
1Co 12:27-28
Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 28 And Alahayim hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Eph 4:11-12
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
-
In the church, these ministers are for the edifying of the body. These Hebrew men are ordained of Alahayim to minister to us for good:
Rom 13:1-5
1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of Alahayim: the powers that be are ordained of Alahayim. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of Alahayim: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 4 For he is the minister of Alahayim to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of Alahayim, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake​.​
-
Being in subjection to them is not only for conscience sake, it’s also for the purpose of putting to silence the ignorance of foolish men;
1Pe 2:15, 13
For so is the will of Alahayim, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men: 13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
-
Christ, the man, is the King as supreme
1Pe 2:14
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
-
Governors are those bishops, elders and the presbetary governing the church. Those sent by the Lord are the other men of Israel ordained to preach the Gospel, whether apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers (of which Bishops and Elders fall under the third rank of teachers after they have learned and uphold the word they’ve been taught by those whom the Lord had sent) for the edifying of the Body.
Rom 10:14-15
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
-
They that are sent are held in higher order than the governors (being of the first three ranks). For this reason, Peter exhorts to be in subjection to governors as unto those that are sent;
1Pe 2:14-15
Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well 15 For so is the will of Alahayim, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men:
-
So for unmarried women/unmarried women with no father in the faith or women with unbelieving husbands, they are to learn in silence in the churches so as to maintain obedience avoiding the shame of speaking in church. When their questions arise, they may ask the ministers of Alahayim outside of the church setting as these men of Israel are in the church for edifying the body. ​

Can A Prophetess Speak in the Churches?
-
In regards to prophesying, in these latter days, sons and daughters shall prophesy;
Joe 2:28
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
-
As daughters shall prophesy according to prophecy, they’ll do so unto edification, exhortation, and comfort, not teaching in the churches or teaching doctrine unto men as that’s unlawful for them to do in the church:
1 Corinthians 14:1, 3
Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
1 Timothy 2:12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
-
A true prophetess would exhort men to be sober minded outside of the church setting;
Titus 2:6
Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
-
A woman who may call herself a prophetess exhorting others to do well, yet breaking the law by speaking or teaching in the Church or teaching doctrine to men, isn’t truly operating in the spirit of Alahayim by evidence of her works as it’s by a person’s life one has to try someone who says they have the divine Spirit;
Hermas Mandate 11
1[43]:7 "How then, Sir," say I, "shall a man know who of them is a prophet, and who a false prophet?" "Hear," saith he, "concerning both the prophets; and, as I shall tell thee, so shalt thou test the prophet and the false prophet. By his life test the man that hath the divine Spirit
-
Jezebel is an example of a false prophetess by her works though she called herself a prophetess;
Revelation 2:20
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols
-
The law doesn’t suffer a woman to teach, but this church was in error for suffering the woman calling herself a prophetess to teach, which caused others to fall into fornication from the faith seeing as though the members and woman were led by spiritual fornication themselves from upholding the ordinances of the Lord. When it comes to a prophetess, she would keep silence in the Church according to the law as the spirit of the prophets would not cause a person to transgress the ordinances of the Lord, whose spirit was sent into the prophets by Alahayim to proclaim the true worship of Alahayim.
3Co 2:8-10
For Alahayim who is over all, the Almighty, the one who made heaven and earth, sent prophets to the Jews first of all, that they might be pulled away from their sins. 9 For he wanted to save the house of Israel. 10 And so he sent a portion of the Spirit of Christ into the prophets, who proclaimed the true worship of Alahayim for many years.
1 Co 14:32-33
And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For Alahayim is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
-
Alahayim isn’t the author of confusion, so His spirits in a woman, wouldn’t lead her to speak in the church setting or teach contrary to His spiritual law. To keep sisters in the faith, Christ’s Apostles gave ordinances to guide sisters and prophetess alike;
1 Co 11:1-2
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
1 Ti 2:12
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
1 Co 14:34
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.
-
A prophetess would uphold the law by the spirit of Christ in her, as it would be blasphemy in hypocrisy for a prophetess to proclaim the true worship of Alahayim while transgressing the commands of Christ in the churches as well. A false prophetess, as in the case of Jezebel, would operate in such spiritual fornication to do such evils;
Wisdom of Solomon 14:27, 12
For the worshipping of idols not to be named is the beginning, the cause, and the end, of all evil. 12 For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life.
Revelation 2:18, 20-23
And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of Alahayim, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; 20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. 21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. 23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
-
For such reasons of keeping ourselves from idols lest we offend the Lord, women, whether they are a prophetess or not, are not suffered to teach or speak in the churches according to the commandments of the Lord. The true prophetess who is operating in the spirit of Christ would not seek to teach or speak in the church, as the good spirits in her will aid her in her moderation and obedience to the law of Alahayim in all things, so as not to sin;
1 Peter 4:1-2
Forasmuch then as Christ hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of Alahayim.
1 Co 2:16
For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
2 Co 10:5
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of Alahayim, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
-
An example of a prophetess operating in righteousness by not teaching doctrine to men or speaking in the church;
Jasher 68:1-3
AND it was at that time the Spirit of Alahayim was upon Miriam, the daughter of Amram and sister of Aaron, and she went forth and prophesied about the house, saying: Behold a son will be born unto us from my father and mother this time, and he will save Israel from the hands of Egypt. 2. And when Amram heard the words of his daughter, he went and took his wife back to the house, after he had driven her away at the time when Pharaoh ordered every male child of the house of Jacob to be thrown into the water. 3. So Amram took Jochebed his wife, three years after he had driven her away, and he came to her and she conceived.
