2 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Galatians | BradK | 50089 | ||
Dear Sistet007, What is your SCRIPTURAL basis for backing up what you state? You are ignoring the context to simply imply that because Jesus "sent" Mary (Jn.20:17) that this is proof of Him "okaying" women to preach. The context does NOT support this. It is dealing with His appearance to Mary, not establishing the qualifications for pastors and teachers. Mere opinion does not prove the veracity of such speculation! This has been dealt with before, but I might suggest you read and study 1 Tim.2:11-3:13, Titus 1:5-9. Abiding in Him, BradK |

3 | Should women be allowed to preach? | Galatians | justme | 50116 | ||
Dear BradK: Should we bring back the thousand of women missionaries who have preached all over the world? Ther are teams of women serving all over the world wher men can't be found in large enough numbers to send. In America for more than 200 years there have been women preaching and pastoring. I prefere a man pastor my self. However, have you ever heard Dr. Billy Graham's daughter speak? Do you think that the culture of biblical times was inspired as the word is? I think our culture has educated women, which was most certianly not the case back at Pauls writting. If the church today depended upon men keeping it going it would fall appart. Many churches are supported by as much as 75 percent women. Re-read Gal.3:28. Do you not read there is neither male of female in heaven? Is not our Father God neither male or female, sexually, but complete in and of the Faters self? I just wanted you to see it in a new light. agape, justme |

4 | The Primacy of Gods' word | Galatians | BradK | 50133 | ||
Dear justme, Your response brings up a number of issues. I'll start by stating my view on the Primacy of Gods' word.(2 Tim.2:15) Gods' word must be foremost(primary) in our dealing in scriptural matters.(2 Tim. 3:16-17) We do need to be careful that we do not supplant 21st Century cultural influences for the Word! (Jn. 17:17) I hope we are in agreement on this. I have no problem with women being in the mission field or serving as teachers and speakers like Dr.Grahams daughter. There doesn't appear to be any scriptural prohibition against it. However, when it comes to doctrinal guides pertaining to who is qualified to be a Bishop, deacon, or Pastor-Teacher I believe 1 Tim. 3 and Titus 1 are ample for support. Note that ALL references to offices are in the masculine in the Greek! This is a debatable matter, but I personally hold to these offices in the NT as being masculine in gender. (Our church holds to this view as well). Do I "think that the culture of biblical times was inspired as the word is?" I can't speak to this other than to say I know the word is inspired, but will not go beyond what is written into speculation! (1 Cor.4:6) Gal.3:28 is dealing with the "oneness" of those in Christ, not gender neutrality in heaven. As far as "Our Father God neither male or female, sexually, but complete in and of the Fathers self?" What does this mean? I'm not sure but it seems to stretch the revealed word of God.(1 Jn 3:2) Scripture ALWAYS refers to God in the Masculine, the Greek is very specific here! I will gladly see something if it's in the realm of Biblical truth. Hope this helps. BradK |

5 | The Primacy of Gods' word | Galatians | justme | 50173 | ||
Dear BradK: I must admit I do have a serious problem with women being alone in the mission field. I think if there is no man christian enough then maybe the mission should be halted from the first. It is high time men who feel that praeching and pastoring is for men only, to close the churches down! Perhaps, some of these wimpy pansey christian men will see people are going to hell because of there view women are second class christians! Culture has much to do with how we understand scripture! Lets turn arround and ask should we return to the culture ways of Paul? Please consider God does refer to him as a hen wwho would gather her chicks, and other references that show that God is tender atributes of a female as well. Why was Adam incomplete? What made him complete? a woman, female EVE, not Steve. God is neither male or female! As God moved on men to pen His perfect without error word He used words that we could understand. I doubt he was ever saying man is so much better, or woman is much less. We are co-workers with different abilities and responsibilities, different but both are equal in Gods sight. That's what Gal.3:28 is about. I gladly seek understanding of Scriptual truth, to up lift all children of God. Hope this helps also. agape, justme |
