Subject: Should women be allowed to preach? |
Bible Note: I've read the statements about women being able or allowed to preach, and I see that when discussing the topic it is very important to stay on the subject and with in scripture. The bible clearly gives an answer to this question but because the times have changed some people will say the the word of God is or parts of it have become out dated. To say that is really to say that God has become out dated. God is his word and his word is him; the two are the same. From Adam all the way down to Jesus himself (and Paul seen this and expressed it to the church) God has never addressed himself on the female agenda. God always addressed himself as he, because man is the representation of God. God sent prophets with the divine message to preach, but he never sent a prophetess to preach. He sent a prophetess to foretell a future event, but he has never sent a prophetess to come before the people and breakdown the scriptures, analyze the scriptures and to charge, rebuke and chastise. Because the women can not have usurp (dominate) authority over the man. That's what the bible teaches and I believe that. I also believe that there are women preacher who has been anointed by God to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that it sounds contridictive but it isn't. When Jesus entered in to Jerusalem the people took branches of palm trees, and went to meet him saying Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that comes in the name of the Lord. Then the Pharisees came to him to command him to stop them, but Jesus said if they hold there peace the rocks would cry out (and praise him). God will not share his glory with anyone and if his creation (we the people whom he created) refuse to praise him who can talk, than God will get his glory from his creation that can't talk (the rocks). What I'm saying is that men have submitted themselves to women and have refused the word of God (the bible) because they don't understand Gods reasoning for stating this (1Tim 2:11-12) in scripture. Remember that it wasn't just a culture difference but Gods will. Paul was not writing to the Jews. Paul was not called to the Jews. Paul was writing to the gentiles (non-Jews) teaching them how the house of God ought to be run. Man did not make this up, God ordained it and we preach what God said but for some reason the church refuses to preach it because it offends. News Flash *** everything that is not in obedience to God is offended by the gospel, so if people who are saints or sinners are going to be offended by the church preaching the gospel; let it be because the whole gospel was preached and not a water down version. But I've noticed that for a long time generally across the board that there isn't alot of men in the churches but are in the streets. Women and children have filled the churches for the longest, but sense the men have been absent form the church God has called and anointed women to minister his word. Like the rocks God will use his creatures no matter who they are to do his will. ** Note** Look at Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages o unrighteousness; but was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbad the madness of the prophet. It is a shame for men who have been made to rule over the women to submit to that which he has been given power over. Like Balaam who was put to shame by the ass and the people who would have been put to shame by the rocks had they not glorified Jesus. So should the men of the church be put to shame for not being men of God in the church. But God will continue to use women in the ministry because God has ordained it by the lack of response of the men to the ministry by God. |
