Doc End quote and love and with sincere desire that we all come together in the unity in the body of Chirst. I belive women can be called by God to teach or preach but just not to become pastors. | ||||||

Dear Devon, Thank you for sharing your beliefs with us. No one will take issue with your having beliefs. However, as I stated elsewhere today, our forum is based on the authority. The only explicit statements regarding women teaching are older women teaching younger women. Therefore, that is the only thing that we can state with unwavering certainty. We do not have a single example in Scripture of a woman independently and autonomously teaching the Word of God to men. It is possible that your belief is correct. However, I'd rather err on the side of the certain, clear, infallible, necessary, and sufficient Word of God in forming my own beliefs. To go beyond what the Word of God actually says is presuming on the Holy Spirit. Let us seek to master, by His grace, what the Word explicitly teaches, and the "gray areas" will fall into place. In Him, Doc |

To Doc and Devon, I am new to the forum and have been reading many of the past posts concerning this topic. If I might add a few thoughts. The subject of the silence of women and also the submission of women is difficult in these times but we must always emphasis that this issue is not one of value or worth of the person. Gal3;28 among others teaches us that there is no difference. My soul and the soul of my wife are of equal worth, value, and importance. Nor is this an issue of gifts or talents. The Lord doesn't need leaders who are either, if He did He would never have chosen Moses to lead His children out of Egypt.No,God chose him because of his humility, Num12:3.This same trait Jesus tells is in the children we need to immulate Math18:4. I believe the greatest sign of humility is submission. Failure to submit is probably what got lucifer thrown out of heaven. Submission was also the greatest lesson Jesus taught when He prayed in the garden "Thy will be done" Math26:39. When we come to this topic we must always point out that silence and submission are NOT for women only but for all christians, note 1cor14:30. Simply put, God has told us a pattern for the worship that is pleasing to Him and that avoids confusion, 1cor14:33,40 who am I to argue. In Christian Love |

Dear GospelMann, Thank you for making this point. You are correct that God has not commanded these things because one human being is superior to another. We are all equally inadequate and impotent before our Holy God. Indeed, the cost of our salvation is not because we are worth so much, but because His righteousness is so great (cf Romans 1 through 3). Isn't it amazing that in the light of all this, we still have such pride? (Proverbs 15:16; 16:19) Thank you for reminding us of the incredible worth of our Lord! In Him, Doc |
