Subject: Biblical - women preachers/teachers??? |
Bible Note: Overseers and deacons (1 Tim 3:1-7, Tit 1:5-11) are masculine nouns, as well as pastors (Eph 4:11). If Egalitarians deny this - they have a big problem. The issue was women were taking on roles they should not have. It is an issue today. While they are equal, as well others (Gal 3:26-29), women may not teach men of any age. There appears to be an exception to women teaching men - Act 18:16 - Priscilla with her husband Aquila, two-to-one, taught Apollos Also, some use 2 John 1:1, 13, but we don't know who the lady was, or what role she had In Acts 2:17-18, women and men will prophecy (I believe this is a promise to Israel alone) ... and based on Titus 2:3-4, to other women. This also applies elsewhere (Rom 16:1, 13). If men were do what God wants, women would be more willing to do what He wants. |
