Bible Question: I want to know what is your personal perception about women who are pastors over their own church ? And can you give me scripture to back this? |
Bible Answer: Malt: Welcome to the Study Bible Forum. Besides using the Search box, the question is not "can women be pastors" but rather we know there are women pastors in our world today, and there were a good number of women pastors in the the eighteen hundreds. It is debatable in denominations in the United States, and there are understandings for this division. The topic of women being ordained for ministry in any Church office is not worth debating in a open public forum. This is best for defending either position can become an open debate and soon there are wonded believers, and that should not be in an open forun. I would encourage you to ask your pastor for the Biblical perspective your church abides by. I would encourage you to use your churches library, and read what materials are on this subject. You might call some churches in your area and actually talk with a woman who is a pastor, get her Biblical support for why she feels her call is from God. This is not a subject you will come to a conclusion without some serious long term study. Might I suggest you start with reading Galations, the whole book. Pay attention to Galations 3:26 to 29 and 5:6. One example of a denomination who does believe that women do have a calling and do ordain women in ministry ai the American Baptist Churches of the USA. One example of a denomination that totally disagrees with women being ordained or being a pastor would be the Southern Baptist Churches. Both are Christians, both love the Lord and both have a very active Missions, and goals for reaching the lost. I have served as a pastor in both denominations and have appreciated the love for Christ that both have. Justme |
