1 | "Women being silent" | Gal 3:28 | YenIsaRap | 218367 | ||
Dear Yedida Why do you suppose Jesus did not choose any women to be in His inner core of Disciples, those chosen personally by Him, and thereby becoming the Apostles? Seeing that God, and Jesus are one in the same. In the Old Testament we see that God did not appoint any women to service in the Temple. And in the New Testament Jesus did not appoint any woman to be Apostles. Was that due to a cultural prejudice, or could it be understood that women are not to be in positions of authority over man. Now we know that when Paul said woman, there are different categories of women. 1 Virgin 2 Young women 3 Married Women 4 Older women 5 Widows What category was he speaking to? When it is all said and done, is there any (SCRIPTURE) that contradicts Paul's teaching? 1Ti 2:12 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

2 | "Women being silent" | Gal 3:28 | Yedida | 218375 | ||
Yesisa, Could rhat scripture also possibly be to that particular group of people alone. Could there possibly have been a group of women who were disrupting the study/teaching sessions by "usurping" the attention of all to give unbidden their own opinions? Looking at the cultural context, the roles of women in those days were quite different from today. To make society work, they remained in the home, taking care of home things and raising children. The men went aabout their jobs outside of the home, I would imagine that it would have been not much different then as in a synagogue today - if there is no one to look after the younsters, the women are expected to come by after the husband returns home (at least on the High Sabbaths) rather than take noisy children into the sanctuary, and on regular Sabbaths to just get the teaching from her husband at home. Could this be what was going on at that time? The Lord gave the first commission after the resurrection to "go and tell..." to a woman. Yedida |

3 | "Women being silent" | Gal 3:28 | YenIsaRap | 218380 | ||
Dear Yedida No one has of yet answered any of the questions I have posed for the purpose of validating the position of women in ministry. ie, pastors, preachers, teachers. You do not have any scriptures to uphold your beliefs, but rather your assumption as to what something "might" be saying. Even by trying to use the position of (Prophetess). Which has not been in question for women. A woman who speaks by divine inspiration or as the interpreter through whom the will of a god is expressed. ......free dictionary online This does not gain for women the position of Preacher, this position is totally different, because Prophesy is when God speaks, not the Preaching of the written word we call the Bible. There is a big difference in the two. Num.22:27-30 27 And when the ass saw the angel of the LORD, she fell down under Balaam: and Balaam's anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff. 28 And the LORD opened the mouth of the ass, and she said unto Balaam, What have I done unto thee, that thou hast smitten me these three times? 29 And Balaam said unto the ass, Because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now would I kill thee. 30 And the ass said unto Balaam, Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? Was I ever wont to do so unto thee? And he said, Nay. Luke 19:38-40 38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest. 39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. 40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. From the preceding verses, do they give credence for asses and stones to Preach? When you say "The Lord gave the first commission after the resurrection to "go and tell..." to a woman." There was no "Commission" to women, at that time, or any other time, to Preach. That is tantamount to what the Catholic Church did by taking the "greeting" from the angel Gabriel, and Mary's cousin Elisabeth combining them together and making a prayer out of them. Luk 1:28,42 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 42 And she spake out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
