Bible Question: can women preach |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Act 2:17-18, 18:26, 21:9; Rom 16:1, 13; Gal 3:26-29; Eph 4:11, 5:22-24; Col 3:18; 1 Cor 11:3-16, 14:34-35; 1 Tim 2:9-15, 3:1-7; Tit 1:5-11, 2:3-4; 2Jo 1:1, 13 ... While we are all equally sons of God (Gal 3:26-29). In this passage slaves who were subject to their master (Eph 6:5) were equally sons of God. Overseers and deacons (1 Tim 3:1-7, Tit 1:5-11) are masculine nouns, as well as pastors (Eph 4:11). Women are clearly to be subject to their husbands ... a big problem in the Corinthian church (1 Cor 11:3-16, 14:34-35) and some churches today. It was addressed other places (Eph 5:22-24, Col 3:18, 1 Tim 2:9-15). There appears to be an exception to women teaching men -- Priscilla with her husband Aquila, two-to-one, taught Apollos (Act 18:16). This was not in a church/congregation setting. Also, some use 2 John 1:1, 13, but we don't know who the lady was, or what role she had. In Acts 2:17-18, women and men will prophecy (I believe this is a promise to Israel alone) and based on Titus 2:3-4, to other women. This also applies elsewhere (Rom 16:1, 13). We do not know who Philip's daughters prophesied to (Acts 21:9). For more enter under Quick Search wom pastor wom teach wom preach wom minist Searcher |
