I'm not an authority, but I have done some serious study on this matter as it is close to my heart. For I will not be mislead. I like the way you put it. "when men will not step up to the plate, women sometimes have to." So far my studies have not shown me anything biblically that "I beleive" directly forbids a woman to preact. Paul puts up a good argument against such in his first epistle to Timothy 2:11-15. If you will note however, he says "But I suffer not a woman to teach." He didn't command that a woman not teach. He said "But I suffer not a woman to teach." And he then gave his reason. Which in my humble opinion was a very good one. However, in the book of Judges, was there not a woman who once led Israel as a prophet? There was. It will be a good experience if you research this if you are not aware of it. Also.... In Galations Paul writes Gal 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. PAULS OWN WORDS WERE "there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. My personal studies would conclude that although, as he specifically stated that "he" was against women preachers, Paul left it up to the individual and the church to make the decision as to whether their preacher would be male or female for "there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." And that there are other occurrances in the word that uphold my conclusion. If one takes "the WHOLE bible into consideration," they would concur. God has not contradicted his word. It has simply been mis-interprited. Perhaps some leven has gotten to your bread. It is not a contradiction of Gods word for a woman to preach. I defy anyone to "PROVE BIBLICALLY" otherwise. If this can be done "through the word, and in a "Christ like" manor, I will post an appology. Otherwise I simply don't care to hear mans "levin." George |

Myself - I don't have a problem with a woman being a pastor, teacher, president or boss. Apparently God does not allow it. I have a problem with ignoring verses in the bible. And I can't ignore 1 Corinthians 14: 34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. 35 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. 36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? And yes, we are the same in his eyes when it comes to salvation and eternity and we are all called to: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach (preach to) all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Understand that Galatians 3 is speaking of the offer of salvation through Christ and not from the law. 22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. |
