There is actually good evidence from ancient manuscripts that 1 Corinthians 14:34 were not written by Paul, but added later by scholars who shouldn't have been meddling with the manuscripts. This is known as an interpolation.

Please do not bash religions and keep it calm.
yea !! as i was reading the passage and i saw that in the footnote and was including it in my thing and looking up more info about it.
This is a stupid question but for Greek Mythology, is there a bible or an equivalent piece of writing?
I really don't want to start an argument, but I do have a quick question for the Christians here since I don't get the chance to talk to Christians very often. What are your feelings on 1Corinthians 14:34 and 1Corinthians 1:3-6? In particular I'm interested in the female Christians' opinions but certainly I'd love to hear from anyone.
As one of you guys mentioned Christians tend not to follow any of the laws or rules in the Old Testament since they believe that Jesus's death removed that obligation (although he said he came not to abolish the law but to fulfill it? maybe someone could clear up that statement if it's not meant to apply to Old Testament law?). So anyways I'm curious why there are so few Christians (women in particular) who follow these New Testament laws. Just looking for friendly clarification on what most Christians believe. Thanks!
For the first verse, I personally believe it was an interpolation and actually never written by Paul himself: it may have been added by someone who was tampering with the manuscripts. this site attempts to translate the context and meaning if it actually was written by Paul, however: http://fuller.edu/about/women-in-ministry/women-in-ministry--1-corinthians-14-34–35/
as for the second verse (putting it here):
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. 5 For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. 6 If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer.
Okay, so breaking this down it basically says that we as Christians are meant to go through hardship. As a Christian, I'm often thought of as inferior, and a lot of people I know don't respect me at all. Christians get so much backlash, and that's here in a country like the US where we supposedly don't have religious persecution. Over in many third world countries, people are dying for our faith. But, the verse also reminds us that God will reward us in the end, and that God is always with us and that we can rely on him.
Christians are definitely NOT treated as inferior in the U.S, though.As a Christian, I'm often thought of as inferior, and a lot of people I know don't respect me at all. Christians get so much backlash, and that's here in a country like the US where we supposedly don't have religious persecution.

Yes they are. Trump said that the IRS audits him because of his deeply held Christian beliefs.
