Bible Question: Would God call us to be something, that scripture forbids? Maybe thats a calling from someone other than God? |
Bible Answer: "Women are not to assume the office of teacher in the church (see 1 Cor 14:34). Women may teach as long as they do not usurp the place of leadership and authority of men in the church. The injunction is based on the relationship of man and woman in the original creation (Gen. 2:18; 3:6)." (Ryrie Study Bible, 1976, 1978) |
