Question

Brother Branham, please explain First Corinthians—First Corinthians 11—11, and verse 4 through 6. Does not this mean a (s-e-…) separate—separate (c-o-…) covering from the hair, or is the long hair the only covering we need?

Answer

Get me First Corinthians 11. Let’s see, First Corinthians 11:4. It says, “When praying…” Oh, yeah, he…They got it here. They say, “In praying or prophesying, can we take our hair—can we…” Let’s see, they got a line drawed through something here. When prophesying—when prophesying, can we take our hai...

Question

Brother Branham, are women allowed to work in public affairs when they have a healthy husband and children? I am asking this question for someone else.

Answer

Well, I—I—I—I don’t know about that. I can’t say. But I—I just have this feeling. Let me say this: I believe, if I was a—a woman and I knowed that my husband was healthy and had a good job, working, I believe it would be a—a great pleasure to me to stay home, take care of my children and make the…an...

Question

Brother Branham, is it not Scriptural that women should not speak in the church?

Answer

He’s got two questions here. That is true. That—that is true. It’s not right for women to be ministers and—and speak in the church. That is right, First Corinthians the 14th chapter. Of course all of the church here, you all know this. And this may be a stranger in here this morning; I don’t know....

Question

Brother Branham, in the First Corinthians, Corinthian, chapter the 14th, verse 34th and 35th, says, “Let your women keep silent in churches for it is not permitted unto them to speak.” 35th, “For it is a shame for women to speak in church.” Now, if a woman with short hair speak—speaks in tongues in—in churches, in church, is it the Spirit of—of the Holy Ghost that speaks through her or is it a false spirit?

Answer

Now, you are…And this is a real hard question, and I can only answer it the best that I know how, see. Now, I could not judge, because I was not sent to judge. But I think there’s so many times…I got another question down here somewhere that goes right along with that. But if a person is speaking in...

Question

Now, the next question is one I think that maybe someone was what I said the other night. Explain a wife being saved by bearing a child.

Answer

The wife isn’t saved by bearing a child. But let’s turn now to First Timothy 2:8 just a minute. And let’s just find out what the Bible says about the child. Now, I realize that’s a Catholic doctrine, that the Catholic says the woman is saved in childbearing, by bearing a child. But let’s not…I don’t...

Question

Do you think it is right for women to do personal work outside the church?

Answer

Yes. That’s just a question, just a…not a scriptural question, but…Certainly, I do. Yes, sir, we’re all workers together. Women have their places, and certainly they do. Yes, sir. Just do all the personal work you can do, and God will bless you for it. All right, now let’s see:

Question

Please explain the meanings of the Scripture, and when it will come to pass: Isaiah 4 and 1. Thanks. All right. We’ll just turn over now…You people that’s got your Bibles and wants to, we’ll see what…I didn’t get a chance to look this up, but I thought maybe we’d find some kind of a answer. Here we are. And in…(Oh, yes!) And it shall come…And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, and shall say, We will eat our own bread, and will wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.

Answer

Well, brother, it’s pretty near that bad now. What a falling away has happened to our country! Let me say this, my dear Christian friends. Let me say this with godly respects to everyone: If there ever was…And you people here who’s studied history, we’re right on the same road that every fine nation...
