1 | Women Preachers? Yes or No? | Bible general Archive 2 | Nikkicole | 139121 | ||
Those charged with oversight of a congregation are described in the Bible as being males. The 12 apostles of Jesus Christ were all males, and those later appointed to be overseers and ministerial servants in Christian congregations were males. (Matt. 10:1-4; 1 Tim. 3:2, 12) Women are counseled to “learn in silence with full submissiveness” at congregation meetings, in that they do not raise questions challenging the men in the congregation. The women are ‘not to speak’ at such meetings if what they might say would demonstrate lack of subjection. (1 Tim. 2:11, 12; 1 Cor. 14:33, 34) Thus, although women make valuable contributions to the activity of the congregation, there is no provision for them to preside, or to take the lead by instructing the congregation, when qualified men are present. But may women be preachers, proclaimers, ministers of the good news, outside the congregation meetings? At Pentecost of 33 C.E. holy spirit was poured out on both men and women. In explanation, the apostle Peter quoted Joel 2:28, 29, saying: “‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I shall pour out some of my spirit upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams; and even upon my men slaves and upon my women slaves I will pour out some of my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.’” (Acts 2:17, 18) In like manner today, women properly share in the Christian ministry, preaching from house to house and conducting home Bible studies.—See also Psalm 68:11; Philippians 4:2, 3.

Watch Tower is the publication of the Jehovah Witnesses. Jehovah Witnesses are a false cult that has many strange teachings not the least of which, is the belief Jesus returned in 1918. Jehovah Witnesses are anti Christian and teach that unless you attend their church your deceived. They use a Bible called the New World Translation that basically a rewrite of the King James Bible that includes Jehovah Witness false teaching. While the Jehovah Witness will not formally reveal the names of the translators of their bible, their names have been discovered and none of them had any formal training in translation or even in Hebrew or Greek. |
