God’s Word cannot contradict and still be His Word, and His Word has to be spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14 Therefore, if we think to see discrepancy, we still only see in part.
And in study, having suddenly realized Paul was speaking in tongues when he said for women to be silent in the church, I began to research according to the verses God gave me next (For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:21) … while following Paul’s instruction to not cream the named ‘women’ (as charity is required), but just to show behavior that brought the term ‘women’ and thereby discovered what Paul was referring to was not for all women and, being that Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy, the man they are not to usurp authority over is Jesus.
“He that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness. In the law it is written, With men of other tongues and other lips will I speak unto this people.” (1 Corinthians 14:21)
“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.” (1 Corinthians 14:34)
“Tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not.” (1 Corinthians 14:22)
“There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 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.” (1 Corinthians 14:10-11)
