Subject: Should women be allowed to preach? |
Bible Note: Scribe, Shalom. I'm not trying to be bossy or puff my chest out to say I'm right and you're wrong. I've studied the scriptures and examined closely as to what the bible says and what I see now. Just as I'm sure you and many others have also. I'm not trying to be little anyone’s understanding pertaining to this matter, because whither anyone agrees or disagree with this the gospel will continue to be preached and souls will be converted and men and women,boys and girls will still love Jesus. There are many simpler subjects than this that the church argues and disagree on and have been sense the beginning of the church and still haven't gotten anywhere on the subject. When something like this can be used to bring brothers and sisters to arguing and fussing like children; calling each others names; than something is seriously wrong and we as a whole have lost focus of the big picture. It's not about me nor is it about you or any other man or women. This thing is about Jesus. It's about preaching the gospel that men and women, boys and girls (no matter how young or old they may be) might hear the gospel and believe on Jesus who gives eternal life. It's about winning soul and nothing else. It's about revealing the Son to those who sit in darkness. I don't care if a man or women, boy or girl preach this thing. I don't care if a 3mo. old baby grabs the mic and preaches this thing. What I do care about is that the gospel is preached, and people who hear the gospel believe it and receive Jesus as their savior. Because when it's all said and done and the dust settles, the last thing I want to discuss with God is why was I so concerned with who preached the message and why I spent my time debating on who's right and who's wrong while the whole time people sitting in darkness never hear the light. Paul said if what I do offends my brother, then I will never do it again. Because when I offend him, I not only sin against him but against Christ who died for him; and again else where he said I would rather suffer to be wronged that there may be peace between my brother and I. God has not called us to fighting and devouring one another but to have peace and love for each other. There are more pressing issues that we are faced with than this and I think that we should face these issues together in agreement of the same faith. Do you love God? Have you accepted Jesus? Do you have the power of the Holy Spirit (and if not pray for it)? If we agree on these fundamentals of the bible than we are brothers of the same faith. Guess what? Men and women have fought one another over issues like these as far back as to the fall of man. There hasn't been total agreement on christian belief sense the first century church. They had all things in common. I prefer to be like Jesus. He nor did any of the Holy Prophets of God argue and fight with one another over anything. A good question is...Why are we? For God is not the author of confusion but of peace in all the churches. Where there is confusion there is strife and every evil work. I'm not your enemy and you are not mine. Let us put down these petty differences and join together and war a good warfare against the father of confusion, which is the devil that others may follow after our examples. A house devided can not stand and neither can the church of Jesus Christ stand if it is devided against its self. There are many different views than the few we've all discussed here on this forum and we will never get anywhere like this. We all come from different denominations and non-denominations and we may all never see eye to eye on somethings but to avoid disputing with one another lets focus on wheighter matters (and that's bible). Christ is the answer and he is the reason why we sing. Peace be unto you. |
