Bible Question: Should women be ordained in the Ministry? |
Bible Answer: riclib:Welcome to the Forum! For your first question on the Forum, you picked a rather touchy area. There are some who say no, not under any circunstance, ant use their understanding of Scripture to prove their ideas of why not. However, there are some of us who would not have a problem with ordaining a women into ministry. I for one take into consideration the culture at the time Scripture was written. Women for the majority were uneducated, and under bondage of the legaistic cultural laws as well as Old Testament Laws that Jewish leaders has so distorted. Only because of Christ did liberation come for women and by His example are men to treat women as equal under Christianity. I am NOT saying that the Womans Liberation's movement today is anything remotley like that of Christ's liberation of women. Today many relate women and ordination with abortion and same sex relations, which many in the liberal low view of Scripture demonations do hail as alternative Christian lifestyles. This kind of liberal belief ids Not what I an speaking of by any means. In answering your question I expect to get some disagreement by some of my fellow Forum writers, I consider this a inhouse debate and not one to argue or have complete harmony over. I hope this gives you some better ideas of where some of us come from. Blessings. justme |
