NASB | Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 3:28 There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority]. [Rom 3:22; 1 Cor 12:13] |
Bible Question: Why do most male Ministers and Pastors pass over this scripture whenever you mention that God has called a woman into the ministry? |
Bible Answer: A lot of men do pass over this scripture. I think it has to do with age. The older generation was taught that a woman had no place in the church. No matter how many times people are told to study the scriptures to prove everything true, they tend to go with what they are taught.1 thess. 5:21.,Rom.12:2 The statement Paul made about women keeping silent in the church is also often misinterpreted to mean there is no place for a woman.1 Cor.14:34-35. I think this was a warning to those who were using church as a place to gossip, or possibly were disrupting the service by asking questions in an inappropriate manner. There were prophetesses and priestesses mentioned in the Bible, and there were many women followers of Jesus, as well as many women active in the church of the first century. God Bless, Misty |
