Can you please explain to me the following from the Bible:
Corinthians 14:34-35 (King James Version) -
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.
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.

Steve N: Okay. But why do you even have the Old Testament in your teachings if you don't follow them?

Corinthians IS NOT part of the OLD testament smart a sses --
It is part of the New Testament
Women and men had different roles. It is not disrespectful.

Many Christians believe that the woman's place is not in leadership. Some say this is disrespectful, others so not.
I'm not trying to be smart, but am curious - does the Quran teach that killing a spouse, or striking a spouse, is acceptable for any reason? Is there moral support in the Quran for 'honor killings'?
I disagree with Steve - the Old Testament is not to separated from the New - the New is the fulfillment of the Old - it is the New Covenant between God and his creation.

Alhamd o liLlah. But, these quotations from Ahl e Kitab donot reflect on any 'poor' treatment of the women. Just a lesson in good etiquettes.

Your quoteing the Old Testiment which is the Jewish Bible. Christianity is based on the New Testiment.
The Old Testiment is included because of it's 300 prophecies of the coming of Christ.

look, all the abrahamic religions treat women as lamp posts.
That is because they were thought up by misogynist ignorant bigots who lived a couple of thousand of years ago.

All right, that thing you're quoting is 2000 years old, and your stupid faith CURRENTLY makes women wear veils and freakish Burkas.
So if that is not DISRESPECT for women, then what the hell is?

Adam was created before Eve but that doesn't mean he was superior to Eve. Also, Adam was just as deceived as Eve and that's why he ate the fruit.
In Christ, men and women are equal (Galatians 3:28). Both female and male believers in Christ are kings and priests unto God (Revelation 1:6) and God calls Christian women and men to ALL offices of ministry within the Church. In a few places of the bible, Paul spoke for himself and not for God (a couple of examples are found in 1 Corinthians 11:6 and 1 Timothy 2:12). In 1 Timothy 2:12, Paul said that he (not God) forbade women to teach men. In the Bible we see that God called many women to be leaders and teachers of men, women and children: prophets (Miriam, Deborah, Huldah, Isaiah’s wife, Philipp’s four daughters), military leader and judge (Deborah), disciples (Mary, Martha, Joanna, Mary Magdalene, Susanna, and “many more”), deacon (Priscilla), and church leader (Lydia).
Furthermore, in Acts 2:17-18 it says:
And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
In the Church, God calls many Christian women to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors (or "shepherds") and teachers of men, women and children.
Ephesians 5:22 instructs wives to submit to their husbands, however the verse before tells us that ALL Christians (both male and female) should equally submit themselves to one another:
Ephesians 5:21
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Both husband and wife must respectfully submit to one another. Neither is superior.
Ephesians 5:25 instructs husbands to love their wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it
If the husband isn't loving and righteous, then the wife should not submit to him because as Christians, we are to obey God not men.
On 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, it is understood that men should also stay silent while the preacher whether female or male is preaching, and if they missed or didn’t understand something, they should wait until later to ask their wives or a fellow brother or sister in Christ or do their own study. The main lesson is to not interrupt the service.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Without God, the spiritual part of the human being is dead (Ephesians 2:5, Colossians 2:13). The sin of our first parents (Adam and Eve) caused the separation between God and man. Romans 6:23 says the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Sin causes us to be separated from God which results in spiritual death. Christ, the 2nd Person of the Triune Godhead was made flesh (through the immaculate conception) and paid the price for our sins by dying on the cross so we could through faith in Christ as our Saviour be instantly redeemed and united to God and have the indwelling of the Holy Spirit who teaches us, comforts us and grants us fruits to live in righteousness and gifts to help and edify the Church. There is no redemption or unity to God apart from receiving the Lord Jesus Christ as one’s Saviour and Lord.
REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH
Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.
If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:
"Dear Jesus, I am a sinner. I repent of my sins. Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood. Come into my heart. I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior. Amen"
