1 | who should be a pastor? male or female | 1 Tim 3:1 | justme | 159721 | ||
The more important question is what does Scripture say about this? When seeking this answer it is important to be able to see how much culture had a part in what Scripture says. I would encourage you to look at Denominations that have women as pastors. Are these denominations that accept homosexuality, whats their view on is Scripture without errors? This topic has been debated before, and perhaps women in ministry might be a better topic than "who should be a pastor? male or female." I believe, women have long been the missionaries that have served in foreign lands with only the call of God, and no ordination. We allow women to be responsible for our health as doctors, surgeons, proffessors, diplomats, senators, lawyers, judges, pilots, ceo's, astronauts, soldiers, and the list is never ending. Yet there are denominations that will not allow a woman to minister as an adult Sunday School Teacher, usher, trustee, just to name a few positions. However when it's time to serve the babies in diapers, and clean their bottoms, most generally men are above such "ministry". I have heard it said if there was not a "man to fill the position, it would stay empty." This does not seen Biblical to me, at least as I read Scripture. I am not a liberal, nor a radical for reforming the church. I just think Scripture has been used wrongly to elevate men, and let women carry a heavier burden of load of ministry. There often is little or no recogination in titles or respect for womens wisdon and calling to serve where God where a woman would be more effective if we would only allow women to serve in the full capacity God has given them. The real problem lies in our culture holding to the Jewish tradition of male authority and domination, rather then equal servents of Christ Jesus. I have expressed my understanding of Scripture, with no intention of offending, or causing anyone grief. I would draw attention to, what often is overlooked. The New Testament records many women with authority: Phoeby, Euodia, Syntyche, Prisca, possibly also Stephana, Tryphosa, Chloe, Lydia, Mark's mother, Nympha, and Apphia. A close study of these women is more than worth while when considering the role of "women in ministry." Justme |

???? "How much culture had a part in what Scripture says" ???? ... God's day to you Justme, I would say the Holy Spirit inspired all Scripture (2 Tim 3:16) and transcends all cultures ... and may have been written to correct cultural errors, so they are in line with the Bible. Steve |

Sctipture ... 1 Corinthians 11:1ff ............. Aliennow, God's day to you, For example, when Paul wrote 1 Corinthians, there were many corrections in the letter, including the position of women - men in the first half of chapter 11. Some say that it only applies to that group, and is not universal. I contend that it was a problem in Corinth, that was not in line with God's standard. Side nore: There are things that I now consider wrong, but before I didn't. It is not written in the Bible asa wrong ... it is something I belive God told me is wrong. |
