1 | God can use woman in the ministry? | Gal 3:28 | OldTimer | 37141 | ||
If you believe that Aquila was a pastor, I don't see how you cannot give the same title to Priscilla as their duties and minstry was jointly performed, except for the fact that there is a prejudice against women pastors and leaders in the church today. If you are content that you and your wife are following God's plan for your lives, I can't argue with that. However, to deny a person their calling as a pastor, teacher, apostle, evangelist, prophet or deacon on the basis of gender alone is beyond your authority. I am not a feminist, but I do want to live in the equality, freedom, and unity that Christ has purchased for us by His blood. I belong to a denomination that has always allowed every person, male or female, to fulfill his/her calling in the Lord. We don't have women clamouring for position, as some might suppose, but as God calls and equips them, as they receive training and approval of church leadership, they serve our Lord with thanksgiving and gladness. I would not want to be the one to oppose or discourage such as these. If you do, then you must give an account at the Bema - the judgment seat of Christ. I have done my best to help your understanding, I'm sorry it was not good enough. | ||||||
2 | God can use woman in the ministry? | Gal 3:28 | charis | 37145 | ||
Dear OldTimer, Greetings and blessings in Jesus' name! I am happy for you regarding your denominational stance. I didn't know there was a denomination that has 'always' been indiscriminate in there ministerial positions. Which is it? Would you please refrain from citing the Bema Seat judgment about this issue? You see, in some ways this could be considered a curse. I am sure that you did not mean to curse your fellow Christian. As to whether you have 'done your best' to help my understanding, I hardly consider one post to be much of a attempt! Please be patient with me. :-) You see, I, too, have read the Bible to come to the conclusion I hold. Peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
