Bible Question:
I have heard a lot of people talk about woman preachers,both for and against. What does God's word say about this? Myself,I believe women are and have been called to preach but some of my friends don't , and I would like some scripture to give them so they too can be blessed by hearing one. Thanks so much Gibby 4 |
Bible Answer: Greetings Gibby 4! 1 Thessalonians 2:7-12 speaks of some of the "marks" of a successful pastor. So does 1 Thess. 5:12 and 2 Timothy 2:2-6; 4:1-5. 2 Corinthians 1:24-2:15 is a great collection of verses for explaning an 'ideal' pastor (I'm looking in the Amplified Bible). Also, Judges 2:18-19 and Philippians 2:12-13 speak of the lack of pastoral supervision, and Romans 16:17 and 2 Corinthians 13:10 speak about discipline. And you ask, could a woman meet these qualities? Excellent question! The subject of 'women pastors' has been batted around several times on this Forum, and I would suggest that you would check those out by using the "Search" function at the right. Thank you!
