Subject: Whats a womens place in the Church? |
Bible Note: Women are told to remain silent because Man was made first. In marriage, the man is the head of the woman, and Christ is the head of the man. And, two sexes are only one flesh in marriage. But, everyone comes to God through Jesus so in that sense we are equals. And I am a female. I will admit that I have gone to the front of the church during the invitation to say something God has lead me to say before EVERYONE. I think that it is better to obey God than to follow 1 Timothy 2:12 and sin in disobedience. Of course, in all of this, I am not very wise yet. Rebuke is welcome. Personally, whatever that is on the outside is just a reflection of what's on the inside; like my pastor says, "What's down in the well comes up in the bucket." But, physical looks are meaningless. I know a lot of ugly people who are the nicest and wisest I've ever met. Who I associate with stems from who someone is on the inside. god bless |
