Bible Question: Do you think that God wants women to be ministers and pastors, according to scriptures I starting not to think so, can you give me your perspective on this? |
Bible Answer: GodsOwn, The purpose of the epistle of I Timothy: 1 Tim 3:15 ... I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth. The teaching regarding your question: 1 Tim 2:12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 1 Tim 2:14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Also: 1 Cor 14:34 ΒΆ The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. These passages are straightforward, clear and concise. We all understand what they say. The problem is that our society is so out of step with God's order that His order seems incredible to us.
