Is It OK For Females To Speak In Church

If 1 Corinthians 14:34,35 was only talking about a husband, he might be OK with her asking any question in service. Some male pastors might be OK with a woman asking a question in service and that could be publicly known. So it seems like there are no exceptions, at least when it comes to women asking questions.

Here are verses instructing women to be quiet and to not teach (and a reason why: Eve being deceived...): 1 Timothy 2:11-15. Before that New Testament teaching was revealed, the Jews would not allow a woman to read scripture in their synagogue. They would allow a boy to. So for some reason, the Jews already thought that it would be wrong for a woman to teach and/or read scripture in their religious building.

According to St. Paul, women were not allowed to be public teachers in the church because teaching is an office of authority.

Rabbi means 'my master'.

A preacher has authority over a church service [when songs, prayer, the offering, announcements and any stories that he may wish to share (even unplanned ones) take place (and also if the congregation will skip the closing hymn due to running late. He decides how long he wishes to preach), which the rest of the males have to put up with, unless a woman interrupts/takes up the pastor's time (which he was, until that point, decided how to use)]. It has been thought that a preacher is the leader of a service.

I read that a woman could not teach in a public congregation, unless she was a prophetess (like Mary, Anna, Huldah and Deborah).

A female could maybe be a preacher nowadays if she received 1 prophecy from God, as she would technically be a prophetess.
