1 | God can use woman in the ministry? | Gal 3:28 | inHzsvc | 3328 | ||
As far as being a Christian is concerned, this Scripture is true--anybody who trusts in Christ is a member of the family of God. This has nothing, however, to do with being a pastor. There are plenty of Scriptures that teach that women cannot be pastors, but, women generally spiritualize them away to go along with their own teaching. Take I Cor. 14:34,35--"Let your women keep silence in the churches (notice, not just church, but, churches): for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." How often in today's liberal society do women shame their churches by speaking out. This Scripture is plain. I Tim. 2:11,12 reads, "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." Do these passages rub against you wrongly? If so, don't be mad at the messenger. The Word of God is simply too plain to be misunderstood here. The qualifications for pastors (I Tim. 3:1-7, Tit. 1:5-11) are just as plain that is must be a "man" and a "husband" which is ordained into the ministry. This is not to belittle women. My mother is a woman. My wife is a woman. I love them both dearly. However, I love the Lord more and I must follow His plain teaching. Some things in Scripture are not plain and there is room for debate. This subject, however, is quite plain. There is no room for debate here. God bless. inHzsvc |

2 | God can use woman in the ministry? | Gal 3:28 | adonastorg | 3359 | ||
As far as the two scrpitures you quoted of women being silent ....taken at face value you are correct... that women should be kept out of pastorial positions and much more .. The problem with that is there is more to those scriptures... you need to go back to the Jewish customs of that time...afterall the Bible is a Jewish book ....The custom at that time was for the women to sit on one side of the church and the men the other...therefore if a women wanted to ask her husband a question ..in stead of waiting til they returned home she would shout across the church ...this caused a disruption .. therefore they were told to "be silent"... women are permitted to fill any position in the ministy of Christ Jesus....the women back then may have lacked manners...but are today intitled to hold pastorial positions... afterall God does not see male nor female we are all worshiping spirits to Him...and in heaven there is no male nor female....Also the first evangelist was a women ...Mary Magadelene was the first to the tomb and went to the disciples to proclaim that Jesus had risen ........ | ||||||

On I Tim. 2:11, John Gill writes: Ver. 11. "Let the woman learn in silence", The apostle goes on to give some other instructions to women, how they should behave themselves in public worship, in the church of God; he would have them be learners and not teachers, sit and hear, and learn more of Christ, and of the truth of the Gospel, and to maintain good works; and he would have them learn in silence, and not offer to rise and speak, under a pretence of having a word from the Lord, or of being under an impulse of the Spirit of the Lord, as some frantic women have done; and if they should meet with anything, under the ministry of the word, they did not understand, or they had an objection to, they were not to speak in public, but ask their own husbands at home; see "1Co 14:34,35". And thus, they were to behave "with all subjection"; both to the ministers of the word, and to their own husbands; obeying from the heart the form of doctrine delivered to them; and submitting cheerfully to the ordinances of Christ; the whole of which is a professed subjection to the Gospel, and which becomes all professing godliness. This man knows more of Hebrew customs than you or I. Perhaps you are right, as far as the custom was then. That doesn't change the fact that Paul was inspired to say of women "for it is not permitted unto them to speak."--no reason is attached to this except that "they are commanded to be under obedience." This has nothing to do with them sitting on the other side of the church. It would cause no more commotion for men to rise and speak to their wives on the other side of the church than the women. This is not a good argument when it is disected. Again, Scripture is plain on this subject. You have to add to the Word of God to make it say what you want it to say. Timothy was inspired to say that women weren't to "teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." How can you say that this is because they were on the other side of the church. That is a cop out that makes no sense when taken in light of Scripture. Never go into a study of the Bible with preconceived notions. When you do, you have corrupted your study already. Take the Scripture for what it says and leave it at that. God bless. |
