God says hes not the author of confusion so why would a well known preacher say it's alright for a woman to be a preacher

1st Corinthians 13:4-7 is on a framed poster on the wall next to my computer.
1st Corinthians 14 34-35 does refer to women speaking in the church.
This has to do with the culture and the man made laws of the times, not God's laws.
Paul felt it was very important to behave "properly" according to the culture and society you were in. A Christian should obey the laws of that culture and society so far as they did not conflict with God's law.
This restriction was culturally/society based and, in context, has to do with speaking in tongues specifically.
It is not a restriction against women in the church forever, although some people would like it to be.

???? There is no 1 Corinthians 13:34-35. I suppose you are talking about 1 Corinthians 14.
You need to check other scriptures. Women can be teachers. Some are prophets. We all have a little nitch that God has for us. You need to expound a little on who you are talking about.
Also many do not understand the culture of the day. Paul was talking to people who were still under the law of the Old Testament.
Also, the entire text is about the church being in order. Women were generally in the back of the church. You can call it chauvinism or whatever, but remember, before Christianity, they weren't allowed IN the church, so this was a leap forward for women. This was also before loudspeakers, so many couldn't hear in the back of the church. Should they yell to the front to ask what was being said? This is why they were to get confirmation at home.
Read the end of the chapter: "Let everything be done decently and in order".

Bible is more like a book that tells idiots how to act. Explained it in stories what being a civilized human was. Taking real advise from people who thought the world was flat is misguided. Then there is the other guy babbling about confusion and promoting the koran. That is the same thing just their leader was a pedifile. Don t be religious think for yourself be spiritual

You have your Chapters wrong, but concerning a woman preacher, God never calls a woman into the ministry, That is Bible, As far as the woman keeping silence in the church & ask her husband at home, Friend, you will have to know how to read & understand this subject, This means that a woman is not to take the pulpit & tell men or anyone else how to live, There is a 5-fold ministyry in Eph 4:11-17 & all 5 callings are in the masculine calling, let me ask you this question, if you want to literalize this verse, What if that woman has a husband that is not a Christian, who is she to ask then, Think about it. We need to know where to draw a line at. & many can't even see a line let alone able to draw one.

There IS no 1 Corinthians 13; 34,35
The verses end at 13.
12 For at present we see in hazy outline by means of a metal mirror, but then it will be face to face. At present I know partially, but then I shall know accurately even as I am accurately known. 13 Now, however, there remain faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
14 Pursue love, yet keep zealously seeking the spiritual gifts, but preferably that YOU may prophesy. 2 For he that speaks in a tongue speaks, not to men, but to God, for no one listens, but he speaks sacred secrets by the spirit.
The scripture you mean is; (1 Timothy 2:11-15) Let a woman learn in silence with full submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 Also, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and came to be in transgression. 15 However, she will be kept safe through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and sanctification along with soundness of mind.

In the Koran it tells us that God is not the author of confusion, but the Bible has many conflicting entries, interpolation and fabricated materials.
So the Biblical God is full of confusions and misleading information.

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.
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.
You pastor is false pastor. A woman could not lead and preach the words of God in the bible, but she can be a worker.
