Bible Question: What does the Bible say about women preachers/teachers? |
Bible Answer: Scripture ... Act 2:17-18, 18:26; 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, 2:3-5; 2Jo 1:1, 13 ... 1. Read these passages to see what the Bible says. Note: Overseers and deacons (1 Tim 3:1-7, Tit 1:5-11) are masculine nouns, as well as pastors (Eph 4:11). There appears to be an exception to women teaching men - Act 18:16 - Priscilla with her husband Aquila, two-to-one, taught Apollos 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) 2.
