1 | Biblical basis for office of Deaconess? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 238363 | ||
Hi, Marji... Welcome to the forum! I do not think that one can make a persuasive argument that women held the office of deacon in Scripture, nor that such a practice was advocated by the apostles. Matt Slick does a pretty good treatment of this question here: http://carm.org/there-were-deaconesses-so-there-can-be-female-elders-and-pastors Of course, women have a special service in the church. I am always amazed when I consider, for example, Titus 2:3-5. Imagine, women can actually have an active role in preventing the Word of God from being reviled! In Him, Doc |

We have no qualifications in Christ's New Testament for deaconesses. Revelations 22:18-19. |
