1 | What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? | Eph 4:8 | benjamite | 35885 | ||
I don't follow. We might say that "He gave gifts to 'people'". The greek is "anthropois", being the generic term. However, there are a couple points... 1) it doesn't say who got what gift. 2) it doesn't deregulate the usage of these gifts. The regulations are given in passages like 1 Tim. 2, 1 Cor. 11 and 14, among others. In Him, Benjamite |

I think one of the gift is Pastors. Therefore women can be pastors and teachers, right? |

3 | What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? | Eph 4:8 | benjamite | 36151 | ||
We need to define our terms - "pastors" and "teachers". If you mean someone who teaches or shepherds a normal "mixed" church gathering (both men and women), the Bible explicitly says "No" - 1 Timothy 2:12, 1 Cor 14:34. As you see from my other post, "Pastor" is only used once in the New Testament - Eph 4:11. The word translated "pastor" is the greek word poimen - found 18 times in the New Testament and is usually translated "shepherd" (see Luke 2, John 10, and elsewhere). Can women teach other women? Yes. From Titus 2:3-5, "Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." In Him, Benjamite |

You don't think women can teach men, outside the gathering or if you may, church? | ||||||

We aren't talking about what happens outside the church. You asked about women being pastors. I assumed you meant inside the church. If you'll notice the top paragraph in the note you responded to, you'll see that I qualified my response, limiting it to a "normal 'mixed' church gathering ([meaning] both men and women)". Christ is the Head of the Church. What I say, doesn't matter. What He says, does. |
