Practical application of Pentecostal theology in politics, economy and social issues
In 1st Corinthians 14:34-35 (NASB), Paul says:
34The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. 35If they desire to learn anything, let them …

In 1 Timothy, Paul says:
1 Timothy 2:15 (ESV)
15 Yet she will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith and love and holiness, with self-control.
Does the “she” refer to Eve, or all women? And does the “they” refer to the same object as the “she”?
The New International Version seems to think that it applies to all women:
1 Timothy 2:15 (NIV)
15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
But a natural reading of this doesn’t seem to agree with most Scripture, including:
Galatians 3:28 (NIV)
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
How should 1 Timothy 2:15 be interpreted?
What does Rev. 19: 7-8 mean if the Church is not the femanine gender? (Finis J. Dake)
