Subject: woman deacon? |
Bible Note: Kalos: Do you have access to a Greek lexicon? If not, here is one for you. www.searchgodsword.org. The word deacon means to serve as in food. It is from a completely different word than elder. There is nothing spiritual about the word deacon in the Greek. The word Elder, however, has a completely different meaning, more like what the scriptures are talking about. All persons doing any service in a church, from janitor to pastor, Sunday school teacher, choir member ... you name it, should all be prayed for and over. Each person serves uniquely...regardless of gender. Only men may be elders, and pastors. I hope this clears up what I mean. |
