Subject: Gospel Preached by a Woman FIRST! |
Bible Note: Mary Magdalene was the first person to find out that the tomb of Jesus was empty. She then went and told Peter. Mary was the first ever to share the story of Jesus' resurrection, which means that a woman was the first ever to share the gospel! To those who claim that a woman should not speak in church, the very first person to ever share the gospel was a woman! Now, I know about 1 Timothy 2:12, which I believe is where this belief that women should not have leadership roles in the church come from, but I think this verse is commonly taken out of context. When Paul was writing that verse to Timothy, many of the women were new to the faith and were getting easily deceived by false teachings, so this is why Paul was not, at that time, permitting women to speak in church. |
