The bible is BS. Written by men as a means of control. They wouldn't want it any other way.

Gee, how many times is this question going to be asked today? Here's the answer, if you really want to know.
Back when the church first started, women were allowed in to view the mass (something that if I recall correctly, they couldn't do in the Jewish faith). Since the women knew nothing about what the order of the mass was or any of the readings (having it been a male thing for a long time), they would pester their husbands during mass to explain. THe letter from St. Paul means to wait until after the mass so you are not disturbing anyone. LIke today, you do not just talk in mass, it's rude to those around you.

If you are married then the divine order would be to get your first confirmation from your spouse. the confirmation is to what the Spirit of God has already told you. You can ask your questions directly to the Teacher, that is the Holy Spirit. He will answer you and then you ask your spouse, if you have one. The answers should be the same. If you do not have a spouse and you are looking for two or more witnesses then go to the written word, Bible, and then your pastor. It should line up with what the Spirit of God is talking to your heart about.
Please do not project even the possibility of divorce unless pehaps you are not truly married in God's eyes.

Some of the things written in the bible were written to a specific group of people with specific problems back then. Paul said that to a church that was in a city where the women were abnormally dominate and probably leading the men to sin. Plus, times were different back then. It's true that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, but the times are not. Paul and the other Godly men of their time, even God himself in the old testament condoned slavery. lt was just a fact of life back then but to us today is a terrible and shameful thing.

No,no,no. You got to take the verse in its historical context. In Corinth, the crowd was separated, men on one side, women on the other. When a women had a question, she would attempt to get her husband's attention on the other side of the room during the presentation of the message. That caused chaos when several people are doing it. Its not an anti-women thing Paul is doing, Yes, you can ask God anything you want, anytime you want. The verse is talking about order in the church, that's all.

Women keep silence!
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. 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. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35
It appears that the men and women were separated and seated on either side of the assembly during services. It appears that the women were calling to their husbands to ask questions during the service, so Paul asked the women to wait until they were home to discuss the message. There is no doubt that women played a definite part in the life of the church (see verses in the last paragraph). Why, then, should they be prevented from speaking in public? The answer is found in verse 35. Paul says it’s a “shame for women to speak in church” This was true because both Greek and Jewish custom dictated that women should be kept in the background in public affairs. Violation of this custom would be looked upon as disgraceful and would bring reproach upon the church. But he’s not saying that they cannot prophesy or pray, for he gives guidelines for praying and prophesying in 1 Corinthians 11:5. He appears to be talking about women asking their husbands questions during the service, and interrupting the service. He makes this point clear in the verse before addressing the silence of women: “For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.” (verse 33). He’s trying to restore order in the worship service. Kinda of like today if the women of our church kept whispering and talking and giggling, and the speaker said “The women need to be quiet and listen.”
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1 Timothy 2:11-12.
It appears that there was a problem with interruptions with the women talking among themselves or to their husbands during the study time. Paul here says that they must “learn”, not teach or be in church, in silence. In the culture of their time, women were not allowed to take a prominent role, and the only place you would find women being loud or taking a lead was in the pagan temples where prostitution was a part of the worship. A lot like some of the Oriental and Arab nations today. Imagine going being raised in a culture similar to Saudi Arabia, where in every man’s household the women place was lower then camels, children, and all the other men, and you walk into a new church with a unique religion, and you find women teaching! Again Paul seems to be encouraging the Christian women to not use their liberty as Christians to be loud and boisterous or talking in public. The Oriental custom was for women to be quiet in public. Only the temple prostitutes and lower class women overstepped these boundaries. Apparently some of the Christian women were using their new found identity (“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus”) and this was causing confusion, as well as a disgrace to the church, for when the visitors came to church, they would be appalled and see similarities to the pagan temples where women took a very prominent role in the worship.
There are several examples of women in the Bible who prophesied: Miriam (Exodus 15:20), Deborah (Judges 4:4), Huldah (1 Kings 22:14), Noadiah (Nehemiah 6:14). And there are several examples in the New Testament: Anna (Luke 2:36-37), Philip’s four daughters (Acts 21:9). And women were instrumental in Paul’s work (Philippians 4:3). So we cannot use these verses to say that women are not allowed to speak or phrophecy in church.

You shall tell the person who wrote Bible that whom shall the husband ask if he does not know the answers to your questions. Religion is nothing but individuals faith in the supernatural (which we give a name and call GOD). All except that is bulshit. How is the church/GOD going to punish me if I say this-" I DON'T BELIEVE IN RELIGION"

Remember, women are supposed to be subservient to men according to the Bible. Many today will say that is not the case, but that is because the church has tried to be politically correct in today's times to retain its followers.

the point of that statement in the Bible was in reference that in the church that it was being written to the women where asking out loud in the middle of the service their questions interrupting the whole service, the instruction was to wait till later to ask questions
