Do you honestly think Paul would have told a woman how to dress, not to cut her hair so she could speak in church and then turn right around and say, Shut up…?

Ummm, for about the 100th time - Prophecy is not a sermon from the Scriptures. Never has been & never will be (shall I "copy-paste" the lexical data again for ya'?) !

Ummm, you've got it exactly opposite - "to say a woman CAN be used to speak God's word to men in the church is beyond me" - It was the Apostle Paul who explicitly forbid it !
