1 | Can women be preachers? 1Cor.11:4,5 | 1 Cor 14:34 | There | 26086 | ||
Thanks Nolan, I don't think you appear rigid or legalistic for your view. Perhaps the reason is that I don't think women were to be elders of the church either. And the church was to be "led" if you will, by the elders. Not one man, but a group of men that had become wise in the faith. But I do think, while being under the authority of the elders, many women spoke in the churches -- whether the Lord gave them "words of wisdom", or "prophecies", or "interpretation of prophecy", or "teachings". I would suggest that it was probably those elders that brought the issue to Paul in the first place. Possibly because the women would not listen to them either... which could also take the issue back to "submission". But anyway, I think it was the misuse of the women's words that Paul was admonishing them for. Not for speaking, but for not doing it properly. And since they couldn't do it properly, then they should just be quiet. My opinion. God bless. |

Hi There! I've read your posts on this issue in two threads recently. Fantastic! Recently there was a conference of bishops. One woman continually yelled out from the audience, adamant that women should be ordained. At last year's conference the same woman was actually arrested. She lied to gain the stage then did nothing but spew venom until they managed to haul her off. She remains completely unable to see how her extreme emotional outbursts are exactly what the patriarchy fears. Have you ever seen Joyce Meyer? I just LOVE her! She's got a half hour program called Life in the Word. She's also an excellent writer! http://www.joycemeyer.com/ |

Hi LisaMarie, They may be fantastic, but I'm not sure I'm correct. :) Discussion in this forum is both a sharing experience and a learning experience for me... for which I'm grateful. The only thing I'm pretty sure about is that the women Paul was rebuking were doing something wrong. lol And we may have to wait till heaven before we find out exactly what... and by then it won't matter anyway. God bless. |

Indeed! When we fall into that trap of absolute certainty in our own opinion isn't that Pride? A big no no? True or no, I like it. One of those bits one must read in a number of translations I think. Hugs, Lisa |

Hi again, There are definitely places in scripture that are left "iffy" for us, but there are also many teachings that land right on the dime. And when they do, we have to stand fast on each of those issues. Pride in our own opinion is definitely wrong, but standing on God's word is not pride. It's necessary. He is the only Person that does not lie. An example of what I mean... I was in a discussion today with someone who thinks homosexuality is not sin because he believes it is an innate trait in some people. My response was pretty simple. God says homosexuality is an abomination [sin] (Lev. 18:22), and that we can choose to sin or not to sin (Gen. 4:7)... so therefore homosexuality is a choice. I suggested he simply believe God's word instead of taking the word of any man about it. There are many other issues like that too... where God's word is clear. And praise God, any and all sins can be forgiven us if we repent... (all but blasphemy of God's Spirit that is). God bless you, LisaMarie. |

God bless you as well, There! I agree wholeheartedly with what you've said here. We all have "appetites," right? Wants, needs, desires... Some we're born with, some we learn. Some are harmless. Some are sinful. Even to let the fairly harmless "appetites" run rampant is a sin. (Gluttony.) The Lord wants us to control our bodies. Not jsut as it pertains to unnatural appetites either! Complete control. Thus our minds and spirits also fall under our control and are then easily turned in the correct direction. Towards HIM. I find such peace when my heart and mind in a free moment turn to God and to prayer. When it runs rampant with things I need/want to do? ugh. Hard to sleep at night. I find I get to church in the mornings and apologize to the Lord for being so flakey. Hugs, Lisa |
