Those who reject the Word or Logos deny Paul's clear text:
Why? They reject the man, the context and numerous reasons for silence
in the assembly. There are many passages demanding silence of both
male and female so that the command to PREACH the Word by READING the
Word can take place: "That all might be saved or SAFE and come to a
knowledge of the Truth." The Word of Christ or the Logos IS truth,
spirit and life and the only reason for assembly. rough notes to be
continued.
Senior males were always the Teachers of the WORD on the rest days
because the public display of a woman exercises authentia authority
which is both erotic and murderous. Giving Attendance to the Word
is theonly worship word and females and effeminate males know that they
and not Christ are AT THE CENTER--and pay them too violating commands.

Prophesying is defined clearly:
1Cor. 14:3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
This is the OPPOSITE of speaking a language not understood by the church in Corinth:
1Cor. 14:4 He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

Because of it's location on a land bridge between two ports many of the
strangers who mostly past through Corinth would probably speak a
"tongue" which to the Greeks was any minor dialect NOT Greek. Many
people would want to tell about their experiences but did not
understand Koine which was the language of business of travel.
They could just be silent and rehearse their story to themselves because
only God could understand them. This is a defacto proof that the ONE
gifted in understanding many languages--like Paul--did not exist in
Corinth. That would be fine because the assembly intended to PREACH the
word by READING the Word and probably translating. The fellowship which
existed might be a problem.
1Cor. 14:5 I would [wish] that ye all spake with tongues,
but rather that ye
prophesied:
for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh
with tongues,
except HE interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
1Cor. 14:6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with
tongues,
what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by
revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?
1Cor. 14:7 And even things without life giving sound, whether pipe or
harp,
except they give a distinction in the sounds,
how shall it be
known what is piped or harped?
1Cor. 14:8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?
1Cor. 14:9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to
be understood,
how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak
into the air.
1Cor. 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world,
and none of them is without signification.
1Cor. 14:11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice,
I shall be
unto him that speaketh a barbarian,
and he that speaketh shall be a
barbarian unto me.
1Cor. 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to the edifying of the church.
1Cor. 14:13 Wherefore let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that HE may interpret.
1Cor. 14:14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue,
my spirit prayeth,
but my understanding is unfruitful.
1Cor. 14:15 ¶ What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I
will pray with the understanding also:
I will sing with the spirit,
and I
will sing with the understanding also.
1Cor. 14:16 Else when thou shalt bless with the spirit,
how shall he
that occupieth the room of the unlearned say Amen at thy giving of
thanks,
seeing he understandeth not what thou sayest?
1Cor. 14:17 For thou verily givest thanks well, but the other is not edified.
1Cor. 14:18 I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:
1Cor. 14:19 Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my
understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten
thousand words in an unknown tongue.
1Cor. 14:20 Brethren, be not children in understanding: howbeit in malice be ye children, but in understanding be men.
1Cor. 14:21 ¶ In the law it is written, With men of other tongues
and other lips will I speak unto this people; and yet for all that will
they not hear me, saith the Lord.
1Cor. 14:22 Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe,
but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that
believe not, but for them which believe.
PAUL'S ABSOLUTE PARADIGM OR THESIS
1Cor. 14:23 If therefore the whole church be come together into one place,
and all speak with tongues,
and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers,
will they not say that ye are mad?
1Cor. 14:24 But if all PROPHESY, and there come in one that believeth not,
or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
1Cor. 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest;
and so falling down on his face he will worship God,
and report that God is in you of a truth.
THE PAGAN THESIS ALWAYS WOMEN OR EFFEMINATED, EMASCULATED ANTI-THESIS.
On the Radical Opposite Paul condemned what was happening in the
Corinthian assembly. Because of the UNcovered female prophesiers
Paul could say YOUR ASSEMBLIES DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
1Cor. 14:26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together,
every one of you hath a psalm,
hath a doctrine,
hath a tongue,
hath a revelation,
hath an interpretation.
Let all things be done unto edifying.
In 1 Corinthians 11:5 the uncovered "prophesiers" were identified even
by feminists as the "mad women of Corinth." Normal males could not be
bewitched into speaking gibberish as the Oracle of Delphi under
theinfluence of drugs or vapors. Music was the most powerful
device identified in Scripture as sorcery.
MALES who might have some knowledge of the revealed Word would
would speak in "tongues" of which the Greeks identified 70 minor
dialects. They might speak Spanish in an Italian church but while
their thinking was good their speaking needed interpretation. The only
purpose of theasssembly was edification or education.
If a MAN speak in a tongue or minor dialect of his mind or native thinking:
1Cor. 14:27 If any MAN speak in an unknown tongue,
let it be by two, or
at the most by three,
and that by course; and let one interpret.
There is ZERO evidence that Corinth had any PROPHETS: God does not send
Prophets without BREATHING Spirit into them so that THEY articulated
only what the Father things: Jesus spoke only what He HEARD from the
Father Who was IN Him as the WORD made articulate.
In 1 Corinthians 12 Paul said that there might be ONE with one gift and
ANOTHER with another gift. Therefore, these men would prophesy which
speaks exactly what God has revealed to them.
If only two or three could speak the delivered Word at a time, that
would EXCLUDE a dozen men and women claiming to be inspired. Scripture
is to prohibit all of the pagan ROLES which would be about 100% women
and the Laded Burden of the Hypocritic Scribes and Pharisees
Paul is speaking of a known minor dialect which can be interpreted.
Paul equates and the Greek defines the speaking in tongues as
including playing on musical instruments. They could not be interpreted
and that would silence the females.
1Cor. 14:28 But if there be no interpreter,
let HIM keep silence in the church;
and let him speak to himself, and to God.
The command is always to READ or SPEAK the Biblical text for LEARNING: Disciples go to Bible class.
The LOGOS speak words are opposite to ODE. And especially
exclusive of rhetoric, singing or playing instruments: Jesus called that
HYPOCRITICAL.
The ODE and PSALLO (never a musical word) was IN the heart which is a PLACE.
Therefore, Ephesians 5:19 means KEEP it Silent, Silly. Either lauguages which could not be translated or instruments are SILENT in the church.
1Cor. 14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three,
and let the other judge.

1 Timothy 2 both men and women were to be silent and sedentary because the PATTERN was to PREACH the Word by READING the Word.
The need for peace and silence (opposite confusion) was:
- Because it was almost always women who spoke in gibberish and claimed that they were speaking for for a god.
- Paul said that there is just ONE GOD THE FATHER and One Mediator the man Jesus Christ: He has revealed.
- The purpose was that "ALL be saved or SAFE and come to a knowledge of THE TRUTH" or THE WORD.
- That denies the beginning and ending mother goddessess or Triple goddesses
- who now say that they have a NEW PARADIGM which contradicts the old LOGOS, Word or Regulative Principle.
Confusion would be the women speaking in tongues as one form of prophesying.
True Prophets would speak the WORD by inspiration and would not be confused.
1Cor. 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.
IF there happened to be a prophet in the assembly He would be BREATHED
on by God intending to REVEAL something the Apostles had not taught or
written. Thare 'revelation' would be interpreted or JUDGED by ANOTHER
inspired persion. In Paul's irony when everyone want to speak he is
really dening that any man or women had the power to speak beyond that
which had been taught or written.

God has declared in prophecy and others in contemporaneou literature that it is by NATURE:
That women fall into the temption to embellish the Word as
they do to a house. Their prophesying is defined as charismatic
ecestasy or madness. They are out of their mine or enthus-O-mania.
Men, on the other hand by nature are less tempted to try to AIDE the Word of God.
1Cor. 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.
Why are the men regulated so harshly as to exclude any spiritual gifts
and only the women considered their irrational nature the sign of a
"god" or "demon" living inside of them. Verse 35 must be left in
context whatever copies say because that is the message from Genesis to
Revelation.
In the three major examples, it is clear that the
women prophesiers thought that the truth originated with them while IF
there was a true prophet he would understand that the word came from
God. The evidence is that the wage-seeking super apostles also claimed like the Scribes and Pharisees that their teaching was to replace God's. That is why verse 34-35 may have been moved since it would silence any priest or prophets who did begin to claim to represent God in place of Jesus.
Then and now speaking in tongues or singing and playing lifeless instruments would be a warning directed primarily to women since Paul always removed the "dogs" or "concision" which would be mean either "drunk, perverted or just having fun." Based on recorded history it would be extremely rare for Paul to have to warn against prophesiers which applied to tongues, singing and playing instruments.
The reason the WOMEN are to be silent and sedentary? That would also
apply to the very rare male which Paul identifies as the superapostles
claiming that Paul's messages were not WORTHY of a wage.
1Cor. 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
1Cor. 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.
If the Corinthians needed additional information Paul would WRITE them proving there were no PROPHETS to speak the WORD by inspiration
2Cor. 1:13 For we write none other things unto you,
than what ye READ or acknowledge;
and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
2Cor. 13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent,
lest being present I should use sharpness,
according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification,
and not to destruction.
An old Testament raving prophet is defined by the phrase MAKETH HIMSELF A PROPHET.
True Prophets will have left a record by the Spirit OF Christ only in theprophets and apostles.
Prophesying was arousing a state of excitement by singing, playing instruments, dancing or even engaging in sexual perversion
First: A prophet is one who has been gifted by the hands of an apostle: They only teach the WORD by inspiration. There were no prophets in Corinth. Prophesying is also reading or speaking the revealed Word so you can say "thus saith the Lord."

Plutarch Marcus Antonius: For in the city of Ephesus, women, attired as they go in
the feasts and sacrifice of Bacchus, came out to meet him with such
solemnities and ceremonies as are then used: with men and children
disguised like fauns and satyrs. Moreover, the city was full of ivy,
and darts wreathed about with ivy, psalterions [psalteries.] flutes, and howboyes [hautboys] and in their songs they called him Bacchus, father of mirth, courteous and gentle: and so was he unto some, but to themost
part of men cruel and extreme. For he robbed noblemen and gentlemen of
their goods, to give it unto vile flatterers: who oftentimes begged
living men's goods, as though they had been dead, and would enter their
houses by force. As he gave a citizen's house of Magnesia unto a cook,
because (as it is reported) he dressed him a fine supper. In the end he
doubled the taxation, and imposed a second upon Asia.
The book of Enoch associates music as sorcery
or magic and abortion as the crimes for which God will come with ten
thousand of His saints. In the Classics
soothsaying was often related to the sounds or music which issued
from musical instruments or from a ventriloquist speaking or singing
for idols.
"There were guilds of roving
prophets who indulged
in practices not unlike clairvoyancy and used music to induce the state; madness
was ascribed to the prophets as a class (II Kings 9:11). Saul came
under their influence, and in frenzy he stripped off his clothing, rolled on the ground, and
prophesied for a day and night." (Clark, Elmer T., The Small
Sects in America, p. 85, Abingdon)
"They resemble each other also
in their pomp,
having the same processional to the scene of their display from
temples and altars, and that mournful profusion of incense and blood,
with music of pipes
and trumpets, all under the direction of the soothsayer and the undertaker, those two foul masters of funeral rites and
sacrifices."
(Tertullian, de Spectaculis, Ante-Nicene, III, p. 84).
Second: In Corinthians 12 IF there were any spiritual gifts in Corinth there would be ONE with
this gift and ANOTHER with another gift. There would be no need for
several prophets in Corinth. Paul warned that they ALL fell into
this madness.
Third: if there was any ordained male prophet in Corinth: 1Cor. 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.
Men in corinth were demanding to be HIRED and claimed that Paul refused to take money because his sermons were not WORTH a wage.
1Cor. 14:38 But if any MAN be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
Even feminists understand the Mad Women of Corinth and the evidence is
that women have just lost their jobs as witches or sorcerers.
Historically both men and women were silent and reverent when the elder
PREACHED the Word by READING it and maybe discussing THAT read portion.
Only those "just out of paganism" would feel the need to INTERPRET the
text.
1Cor. 14:38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
A prophet would have been ordained at the hands
of an apostle. However, prophesying in the faithful teaching
of the Word as it has been taught is a very rare gift. It is imposible
that a preacher who writes his own sermons and defined as a hypocrite as
were the Scribes and Pharisee could stand in the pulpit tying to earn a
wage God didn't give him without being forced to prophesy in the female
sense: rhetoric, singing, playing instruments, acting or dancing.
1Cor. 14:39 Wherefore, brethren,
covet to prophesy,
and forbid not to speak with tongues.
1Cor. 14:40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
SOME REAL CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA ON WOMEN TEACHERS
Clement of Alexandria
beating a
drum and
sounding a
cymbal strung from his
neck like a priest of Cybele,
condemning him as having become
effeminate among the Greeks, and a teacher of the disease of effeminancy to the rest of the Cythians. (Clement
of Alexandria, Exhortation to the Heathen, Ante-Nicene, II, p.
177).
Chapter
II.-Against
Embellishing the Body.
It is not, then, the aspect
of the outward man,
but the soul that is to be decorated with the ornament of goodness;
we may say also the flesh with the adornment of temperance. But those
women who beautify the outside, are unawares all
waste in the inner depths,
as is the case with
the ornaments
of the Egyptians; among whom temples with their porticos and vestibules
are carefully constructed,
and
groves
and sacred fields
adjoining; the halls are surrounded with many pillars;
and
the
walls
gleam with foreign stones,and
there is no want of artistic painting;
and
the
temples
gleam with gold, and silver, and amber, and glitter with
parti-coloured gems from India and Ethiopia;
and
the
shrines are veiled with
gold-embroidered hangings.
But if you enter the penetralia of the enclosure,
and, in haste to behold something better, seek the image that is the
inhabitant of the temple, and if any priest of those that offer
sacrifice there,
looking grave, and singing a paean in the Egyptian tongue, remove a little of the
veil to show the
god, he will give you
a hearty laugh at the object of worship.
For the deity
that is sought, to
whom you have rushed, will not be found within, but a cat,
or a crocodile, or a serpent
of the country, or
some such beast unworthy of the temple, but quite worthy of a
den, a
hole, or the dirt.
The god of the Egyptians
appears a beast
rolling on a purple
couch.
So those women who wear
gold, occupying
themselves in curling at their locks, and engaged in anointing their
cheeks, painting their eyes, and dyeing their hair, and practising
the other pernicious arts of luxury, decking the covering of
flesh,-in truth, imitate the Egyptians, in order to attract their
infatuated lovers.
But if one
withdraw the veil of
the temple, I mean the head-dress, the dye, the
clothes, the gold, the paint, the cosmetics,-that is, the web
consisting of them, the veil, with the view of finding Within the
true beauty, he will be disgusted, I know well.
For he will not
find the image
of
God
dwelling
within, as is
meet;
but instead of it a fornicator and adulteress
has occupied the shrine of the soul.
And the true beast will thus be detected-an ape smeared with white paint.
And that deceitful serpent,
devouring the
understanding
part
of man through
vanity, has the
soul as its hole,
filling all with deadly poisons;and injecting his own venom
of deception, this pander of a dragon has
changed women into harlots.
For love of
display is not for a lady,
but a courtesan.
Such women care little for keeping at home with their husbands; but
loosing their husbands' purse-strings, they spend its supplies on
their lusts,
that they may
have many witnesses
of their seemingly fair appearance;
and, devoting the whole day to their toilet,
they spend their time with their bought
slaves.
