Bible Question: IS THERE A PLACE IN THE BIBLE THAT IN GENERAL TALKS ABOUT A CHRISTMAS TREE OR THE DECORATING OF SUCH,ALSO A PLACE THAT TALKS ABOUT A WOMAN OF THE BIBLE BEING A PREACHER AND WHO IS SHE? |
Bible Answer: Yes, there are places (plural) where the Bible mentions women (plural) as preachers (plural). . . . The word prophetess is mentioned a total of 8 times in the entire Bible. If you look up the references, you will see in most cases, not only is the word prophetess mentioned, but also the name of the prophetess is given. Bear in mind that "to prophesy" means "to preach (tell forth)" as well as "to tell the future (forth-tell)". The references to prophetesses are as follows: . . . Ex 15:20; Jud 4:4; 2Ki 22:14; 2Ch 34:22; Ne 6:14; Isa 8:3; Lu 2:36; Re 2:20 In short, yes there is more than one woman preacher (prophet) in the Bible. |
