Bible Question: What of cases where women have gone out and started their own church...(for whatever reason)are they not overstepping the boundaries....eg: Gwen Shamblin (Weigh Down Workshop Fame) who has recently started her own church to teach/preach her messages???? According to a recent TV documentary here in Oz she has started her own brand of church! |
Bible Answer: dear janet. paul didnt allow women to lord it over men.Gen 3:16 it is part of the curse of women,first the natural then the spiritual.we are not under the curse anymore! the natural remains but the spiritual has been set free. that is why there is neither male nor female in Christ.as long as this woman knows that a man shows forth the glory of Christ and the woman shows forth the glory of her husband and knows how this is applicable to us. i feel as long as rebellion has been dealt with and the Lord is blessing them to be a good leader,we all can learn.to be a good leader you must be a good follower.the Lord will even use a donkey if there is no one else to do His work. i am not implying that she is a donkey .lol.
