Anyway now I've stopped laughing at the answers to my dinosaur question I have another question:
Why are women not allowed to speak in church?
Quote:
1 Corinthians 14
As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
You said above:

what God requires of me is the same now as it was for the first believers in Jesus Christ
From this we can believe that it would be shameful for you or any women to speak in church therefore you dont?
I really would rather say nothing on this thread but this one I have to comment on. If you keep in context what Paul is addressing in I Cor. 14, then you could not come to the conclusion that he is saying that women are to never talk in church. The subject he is covering is speaking in tongues and in the middle of talking about speaking in tongues is the verse you choose to cherry pick. I don't believe Paul would be talking about one subject, in the middle of that subject switch to a new subject and then switch back to talking about his original subject. For me, Paul has to be referring to women not speaking in tongues in church and he can not be referring to women remaining completely silence. Just my two cents worth.
