Subject: Women Preachers? Yes or No? |
Bible Note: Tell me where Christ, Paul or anyone else in Scripture states that a woman (is not) to speak in the church. Gal 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. I cannot say that I personally feel comfortable with a woman as the leader of the church, but I wonder if the Jews didn't feel uncomfortable when they were lead into battle by Deborah. The Law stated in Deu 19:21 And thine eye shall not pity; but life shall go for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. Jesus stated in Mat 5:38 You have heard that it was said, "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." Mat 5:39 But I say to you, Do not resist evil. But whoever shall strike you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. If you choose to be under the law, so be it. You would be wise to consider though, that you should observe the whole law. And that by the law which you so adamantly cling to, you will be condemned, for the law or the observance thereof has yet to cleanse any of their sins. Personally, I and all (true) believers, (those who have heard and accepted His “WHOLE” Word,) have accepted the fact that the law was imperfect. We have chosen "Grace." Being so adamant concerning the law, perhaps you should consider granting Paul’s wish in Gal 5:17. I like the NIV version in particular where that verse is concerned. “ As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves. George |
