Bible Question: Can a woman speak in church? I can't for the life of me see why it's wrong for a woman to occupy a place of authority, or say something during a church service. |
Bible Answer: I know that the Bible says, he grants some to be pastors, some prophets, etc. So why wouldn't he. People tend to point out the scripture that gives instructions regarding who can be a deacon, elder, etc. But, my opinion is that it was not intended to outcast women from the pulpit. I beleive that there are many women with an evangelic gift. I do however beleive that a man should be the "head of the church" since he is the head of the household. But I beleive that if the Lord Jesus has granted any of us the gift to evangilise, preach, or teach, or whatever gracious gift, we (woman or man) must utilize it before the church and elders (under thier guidance). |
