Women are not allowed to give sermons in the genuine church of Yahweh, the Father in heaven
Why aren’t women permitted to preach in churches? This topic is widely overlooked, but I’ll let the Bible clear up any misnomer once and for all. Welcome to another episode of the Educational Podcast, where we dive deep into Almighty Yahweh’s Word, to uncover His unchanging truth for His people. I’m Elder Dan, your host.
Today, we’re tackling a topic that’s stirred up plenty of noise in modern churches, but one that Scripture addresses with crystal-clear authority: I’m talking about the role of women in church gatherings, specifically their silence, as laid out in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35.
Buckle up, because this is not about opinions or debates—this is about what the Father in heaven, Yahweh, says through His chosen apostle Paul. Let’s get started.

The Clear Command of the Holy Scripture
Folks, let’s cut straight to the chase. In 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, the Holy Spirit, speaking through Apostle Paul, says this: “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.”
Now, I know what some of you are thinking—“That sounds harsh!,” or “That was just for back then, right?” But hold on. This is not Paul’s opinion. This is not a cultural suggestion. This is Yahweh’s Word, inspired and authoritative, given to guide His true church for all time. The Bible doesn’t stutter here. Yes, women are not permitted to speak in church gatherings! No preaching, no teaching, no leading! The biblical text is very plain, super clear, and quite simple: silence and submission for women are the call for all generations!
Did you catch what Yahweh communicated to His church (body of Messiah Yahshua) for all time regarding the role of women in church through Paul? We hope you did because we can’t emphasize it enough!
No Room for Debate
Here’s where things get sticky for some, folks. In many churches today, we see women taking on roles as pastors, elders, or teachers over congregations. But let me be clear: this is not up for debate. Yahweh’s Word is not a suggestion box. When Paul writes, “as the Law also says,” he’s grounding this command in Elohim’s eternal design, not some temporary cultural norm. The Law—Yahweh’s unchanging standard—points to order in worship, and that order includes women submitting in silence during church gatherings.
Now, don’t get me wrong. Women are vital to the body of Messiah. They’re called to believe in Yahshua, follow His teachings, serve in countless ways, and shine as lights in the world. Think of the women in the New Testament—Mary, Lydia, Priscilla. They were faithful, bold disciples. But nowhere do we see them preaching or holding authority over men in the church! That’s not their role, and Yahweh’s design is perfect.
Why This Matters
You might be wondering, “Why is this such a big deal?” It is big because obedience to Yahweh’s Word, the Bible, is non-negotiable! When we start picking and choosing which parts of Scripture to follow, we’re not just tweaking traditions—we’re challenging Yahweh’s authority. Paul says it’s “shameful” for a woman to speak in church! Did you catch it? That’s a strong language, friends. But it’s not about diminishing women; it’s about honoring the roles Elohim has assigned! Men and women are equal in value, but different in function! That’s the beauty of Yahweh’s order. Got it?
In the early church, this was understood. Women didn’t stand up to preach or lead the congregation. They learned, they served, they supported, but they didn’t take on roles of authority. And you know what? The church thrived under Yahweh’s design. So why are many churches trying to rewrite the playbook now?
Addressing the Pushback
Now, I can already sense the confusion. You might ask: “But what about gifted women? What about equality? What about Galatians 3:28?” Let’s tackle that last one really quick. The full context and real meaning of Galatians 3:28 is about our equal standing before Yahweh in salvation, not about erasing distinct roles in the church! Salvation is the same for all, but roles are not!
As for gifted women, of course, Yahweh absolutely uses them. They can teach other women in household chores, disciple children, serve in ministries, and share the Gospel. But the pulpit or the elder’s chair? Yes, that’s reserved for men, as Yahweh’s Word commands! And if you’re tempted to argue, Paul shuts that down in Corinthians 14 verse 37 that says: “If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of Yahweh Almighty.” Yes, that’s an emphatic period, people. Case closed!
Living it Out
So, what do we do with this? Churches, it’s time to stop debating and start obeying. If your congregation has women preaching or leading over men, you’re out of step with the Bible! To all the church leaders out there, you’ve got a responsibility to uphold Yahweh’s order!
Therefore, women, embrace the beautiful role Yahweh has given you. Your silence in the church is not a limitation—it is an act of worship, a submission to Elohim’s perfect design. If you’ve got questions, like Paul says, ask at home. Study the Holy Scripture with your husband or better with an ordained spiritual leader. But don’t let the world’s ideas about equality or fairness twist what Yahweh has made clear.
Remember, His ways are higher than yours and ours! I’m sure many of you are not aware, perhaps even surprised by these things I have discussed today, but I’d like you to know that spreading the Bible truths is very crucial in our ministry. We truly care about you, our dear listeners and readers, and we want all of you to learn the genuine truths of the Holy Scripture.

Brethren, before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. I humbly pray all these things to Yahweh through Yahshua the Messiah, our Master and coming King, amen. Kindly keep praying for the shalom of Israel. Take care. Halleluyah!
