Bible Question: To be as gentle as I can...the words...'I think' are not what I'm looking for...I need scripture. This scripture does NOT say anything about women becoming Pastors or not becoming Pastors...it says that we are to 'teach' other women as well as children...Can anybody show me in scripture whether or not a 'woman' of God should be a Pastor. |
Bible Answer: 1 Timothy 2:12"But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." In every church the pastor(new word for teacher) has the authority over the proceedings.In the church both men and women are present. Now, if a woman was to become the pastor it would be against the scripture as she would have authority over both men and women in the church. The closest scripture talks about a woman in the church is in, Romans 16:1-2, that is about a women(Phebe) being a servant in the church and a helper but not anybody in the position of authority. |
