Bible Note: A person has the ability to choose what he or she believes. There is an ULTIMATE sense of right and wrong. How do we determine what this ULTIMATE since of right and wrong is?? Through the Word of God. The Word of God tends to give a difference between Pastoring and Teaching. The bible does not prohibit a woman from teaching in arenas other than the Pulpit, and difinitly progibits a woman from Pastoring. If you choose to believe a principle contary to Biblical Principles, that is your choice. However; I have read some of the comments to your question and for the most part they all seem to have a common thread, which is, answers based on Biblical Principles. And as far as a Husband and Wife Pastoring Team is concerned, although that woman do have her covering, she is STILL in violation of scripture, and the husband is in violation for allowing it. But just out of curiosity, the word Bishop in 1 Tim. 3 can be translated as Elder; Sheppard; Overseer or Pastor, these are men roles. According to Eph. 4:11, Pastoring is a Spiritual Gift. If the will of the Father is for a Pastor to be a male role, they why would the Holy Spirit give this gift to a women?? |
