Bible Question: Could anyone point me to some scriptures that indicate whether women can or cannot be deacons in the church? I've heard many debate this issue, but I am interested in what the Bible has to say. Any help is much appreciated. |
Bible Answer: 1 Tim 3:12 Deacons must be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households. I'm afraid God's Word is very clear on this subject. You'll probably receive other opinions but their's and mine don't count; only what we see in God's Word will be used to judge us on Judgement Day. Also, I don't say this from a chauvenistic viewpoint; this is just the way God designed His World, our temporary home. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy PS: You may be referred to scriptures that mention "deaconess" but most scholars agree that is a reference to a wife of a deacon and should not considered an official title like that bestowed on the deacon. |
