Bible Question: Would God call us to be something, that scripture forbids? Maybe thats a calling from someone other than God? |
Bible Answer: What makes you think that the verses you quote forbid anything? Paul did not say that it was revealed to him that a woman was not to preach or have authority over a man. He did said "But (I) do not allow a woman..." Did he say that ANYONE ELSE WAS NOT TO ALLOW.... ? NO! What did he say. ANYONE stating otherwise is mixing LEAVEN with his bread. Didn't Paul himself state that there is neither male nor female in Christ? What about "Deborah" in the book of Judges? If Paul were condemning women as leaders, wouldn't he be condemning Gods having chosen a "WOMAN" to lead his people? I Think NOT. Those who interpreter Paul add too much leaven to the bread. And according to the word, they will have to account for their words. When proven wrong by the very Book one quotes, where is that going to leave one? See my answer to " Women whosay "God called me to pastor (?)" I don't care what men say! If one can't prove it scripturaly, It is only ones opinion. If Scripture says it, I believe it. If one can show me scripture that backs up ones belief without ones interpretation thereof, I will say it is FACT. Otherwise it is OPINION or leaven. Nothing more! George |
