1 | Women Preachers? Yes or No? | Bible general Archive 2 | Aixen7z4 | 94714 | ||
Not at all. Surely you are confounding the kingdom of God with the kingdoms of this world. "It is not permitted" means it is not permitted by God. Do you suppose that "the law" in 1 Cor 14:34 refers to "the law of the land"?!? The God who asked us to not be conformed to the world in Romans 12, and who says to be friends with the world is to be God's enemy, in 1 John 2, would surely not be here asking us to govern the church according to the "law of the land". |

I agree with you, but there is still the law that we MUST abide by, and still not befriending the world, ie driving on the right side of the road for example. When Paul refers to the law, and if it is a scriptural law, there is always a reference to the Scriptures. I would love to know which part of the Scrpiture he would base himself to say that women are not allowed to teach. The Old Testament has reference to Women leaders. I am not arguing,please do not get me wrong, but this is good and healthy discussion. | ||||||

What "the law" says is that women are to be "under obedience". You may want to read Genesis 3:16 and other passages such as Numbers 30. As Paul says to Timothy, (1 Tim 2:13) "Adam was formed first, then Eve". God has a hierarchy of leadership (See 1 Cor 11:3) and Jesus submitted himself to it. He humbled himself and became obedient (Phil 2:8). We should let the same mind be in us and simply do what he says. We should not be conformed to this world (Romans 12:2). When you speak of women leaders in the Old Testament, whom do you think of? Do you think of Miriam, who was inflicted with leprosy because she resented the leadership of Moses and tried to usurp it? Do you think of Deborah, who went into battle with Barak because he was afraid to go without her? Paul says it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. It may be that the shame is on the men who are too timid to take the leadership. The Lord asks us to avoid making the same mistake that Adam made. |

I take your point. Obedience is a requirement of all not only of women..When Paul said it is a shame..why would it be a shame? If it is not with the era...God does not make preference, like there would be no women/man in Heaven..There will be just the believers who have completed the race sucessfully. What then is the conclusion? Shall we men stop women from having a function in the Church..when there are so many women who have brought so many souls to OUR LORD. |

The Lord has put the church together as he has put our bodies together. There is one head -- that is Christ. There are leaders -- they are called bishops, overseers, elders. There are deacons. These jobs are not given to women. But there are so many other jobs and positions and gifts! Surely, one of the jobs women can do is to bring souls to our Lord. Lois and Eunice had brought Timothy to the Lord. But then they must hand then over to the shepherds such as Paul. The roles that women can play in the church are so many, they seem to be almost limitless. But they are not allowed to be leaders of men. |

Agreed, but who does not allow Women to be leaders of men? God? Paul said "I do not permit"...He did not say God does not permit, actually I have not seen where it say God does not permit women to teach or to lead. I believe,it could not be so at the time of the apostles, because it was not plausible like recently it was not plausible for women to vote. Men cannot have any more value than women in the sight of God, He died equally for both and also we are ALL the temples of the Spirit. To all of us he has given different ministries, including teaching...God looks at the heart and our commitment. I might be wrong in my conviction, I cannot see any differentiation made between men and women, except at home, where the structure is still the same to-day as then. | ||||||
