day 23: 1 Corinthians 14 "orderly worship"

it seems like a chapter out of a church rule book. and yet Paul makes sure to mention that this is the Lord's command and needs to be followed.

people who are moved by the spirit should speak (if in tongue, then with an interpreter. interesting that it is interpreter and not translator. you are trying to make sense of it not repeat it.) in turn, at most 2 or 3 at a time (to make sure the thoughts sink in?)

interesting enough, women are not allowed to speak in church but have to at home to their husbands. why????? they "must be in submission, as the Law says.". still why???? this I do not understand unless you are co
paring the different cultures. but then it still wouldn't make sense because this is the lord's command. If it has to do with women being the dirt to fall and made as man's companion, I guess that kinda makes sense. but does that mean we are "less" then men, or is that rule there to keep order and peace (I personally know how generally women like to talk and talk and talk and get absolutely nowhere while men can just bash each other out for it) or something along those lines. really wonder though.
