Question #1
Please explain 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, where it says that women are to keep silent in the churches and in verse 35 it says it is a shame for women to speak in the church. How does this line up with all the women of God who are anointed and preach God’s Word?

Question #2
What does the Bible say about taking medication? I have a medical marijuana card that I use for pain relief from a back injury. What is the difference between Rx pain medication (Vicodin, Percocet, etc.) and medical marijuana? I have heard Pastor Tom talk about marijuana from the pulpit, but never about other pain medication. Isn’t it better to use something more natural for pain relief as opposed to something that is habit-forming and that your body builds up a tolerance to?

Question #3
Is there a time when Jesus chooses not to heal or maybe it is not the right time to heal? I recently saw an interview between two Christian men, one born with no arms and legs. The second man asked him if he questioned healing because he was born this way. They both agreed that there are times when God does not choose to heal. Talk about those in situations like this or in any situation where they are sick or suffering.
