1 | can a woman be a pastor? | Bible general Archive 1 | WarriorPrince | 74704 | ||
Gee Gee, Yes I believe women can pastor.You are right that women have done great things for God. In the bible there are women prophets, a women named Deborah was a prophetess and a judge, she was a great leader in Israel, there are women in the New Testament that were leaders in starting the church movement, having church in the homes instead of the temple. The first to spread the good news of Christ Jesus's resurrection was women, ther are many examples of women doing the work of God, including evangelism, the women at the well John chapter 4 after her meeting with Jesus she went and told everyone about Him and they came to Him and many believed in Jesus because of her. The word also says that He is no respecter of persons, I believe that in this day yes women can be pastors and be in the plan of God for our times. I have very good friends that are women pastors. The book of Joel tells us that the Spirit of God will be poured out on all flesh. Yes Gee Gee I believe that women can be pastors, I am a minister myself and respect women who fill the role of pastor. WarriorPrince |

Hello Warrior Prince, All of the examples you cited show what women may do. But they do not address whether a woman may be a Pastor. A Pastor is a Shepherd, and a Shepherd is an Elder. The qualifications are clear: he must be the husband of one wife. I'm sure you don't mean to add to the Word so I point you to the qualifications for Pastors in Titus 1 and 1 Timothy 3. The Apostle Paul said women are not to teach or exercise authority over a man: because the woman [Eve] was deceived. Paul wasn't talking about a cultural thing of his day, instead he was laying down a spiritual principle that exist even today: male spiritual leadership. You are right, God is not a respector of persons, but God made male and female unique with their respective roles. Neither man or woman can hope to be saved when they tamper with these things. I respectfully say, a woman may not be the Preacher of a congregation, she may not be a Pastor either. A woman can teach the lost, she may serve in a multitude of ways, she may teach other women and children, but she is not to teach the men in the church. That's man's work. No offense is intended. Good day. |
