Subject: Women Preachers? Yes or No? |
Bible Note: Jeff The question is context. How right you are. Especially within the Holy Spirits leading. Our Teacher. Paul warns that the carnal mind is emnity with God. What do you suppose carnal is? May I suggest reasonings and logical thought. The wonderful thing about having the Teacher, Comforter within is that you don't have to be a scholar! Praise the Lord He sent the greater One to dwell within!! That is the salvation the phophets longed for! gune goo-nay Probably from the base of G1096; a woman; specifically a wife: wife, woman. what is interesting about that passage is it is singular not plural. Fits with context of a wife. I think the Lord would rather have one Katherine Kuhlman than a thousand scholars. If God can not use men to reach out to the lost and demonstrate His love, power, healing and deliverence He will use whoever is willing. I personally am all for men doing it. In fact I think the church has been demasculinized. Paul said, I do not come in excellency of speech but in demonstration and power of the Holy Ghost. (paraphrased) A powerless gospel is not the gospel. The church was never meant to be run by a bunch of women and old women. Partially because women have the tendency to be busybodies (Titus)and because they are more prone to deception. Jeff you know as well as I do that satan knows scripture. He misquoted it to Eve and taunted Jesus with scripture. It is therefore only our reliance on the One who is smarter than the devil and all of his twistings of scripture, that will keep us safe and guide us into all truth. In that vein may His precious Holy Spirit lead you Jeff, not into mans wisdom but God's. |
