1 | should females pastor | 1 Corinthians | "DOC2" | 178367 | ||
in relation to women ministering should we not be careful to take into account the fact that there is no direct command that a women should not minister and that the only scripture (that i know of) which say anything along that line comes from paul who states " but I suffer not a woman to teach" apparantly denoting that it was his personal preference quite possibly based on his jewish background and on the way women were treated at the time. | ||||||

Hello DOC2, You need to be careful with this cultural view, because it logically leads to: Everything Paul wrote is culturally based and therefore not valid for today. Obviously, that is not true, but you need to determine how to make that distinction. I would not do this but rather see everything Paul wrote concerning women as appropriate to be practiced today.

what i am saying is that just as today where many beliefs are coloured by customs and cultures it means that we need to take these things into view when dealing with personal statements such as the one given by paul. the truth of the impact of culture on any belief can be seen in statements such Acts 15 show that even the apostles had to deal with cultural differences. this does not however in any way invalidate anything in the word of God. it only says that we must be sure of doing the right things for the right reason with the right understanding. | ||||||

Hello Doc2, Your argument here, while well intended I am sure, is an old one that does not stand against the test of Scripture. The first time I heard your argument was sitting in church and the pastor declared it as truth. In a nut-shell, he argued that the reason Paul taught that women couldn't teach or have "authority" was due to the cultural norms and values. Actually, I put it to rest for some years after that until that very pastor was run off from the church and the church was taken over by a woman who proclaimed herself the new pastor. It was then that I took a closer look at what the Scriptures have to say about it. Start with your own argument in the post I am responding to and then consider what Paul actually said. consider the folling verse. 1 Timothy 2:11-14 (NASB95) 2:11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression." Notice that Paul doesn't even give mention to cultural norms or customs; not even as a side item. He points only to the beginning; the intention of God. The way God ordained it way back in the third chapter of Genisis. Hopefully, we will allow doctrine and truth to be established by God's word and not by notions and ideas that better conform to the way we wish or want things to be. We don't have to understand it, we don't have to agree with it, and it certainly doesn't have to be politically correct. If it's God's will, we need to accept it. Hope this is helpful, God bless, Jeff |
