Do you know the definition of 'preacher'? It's someone sharing the good news. Here's the definition for you.
Are you going to claim that women cannot do the above? What scripture do you have to support that claim?
Oh, and in case you didn't notice, there's nothing mentioned above in regard to a church building, pulpit, and that it's only for a man to do.
Did you like how the Bible rates Miriam right up there with Aaron and Moses? I bet you don't.
As for Deborah, ever wonder why even priests, who were also prophets, called on WOMEN to give them a Word from God? It's nice how you like to sweep away the importance of their words which became scripture...the very Word of God. Huldah was called upon as well by both priests and kings. Ever wonder why God didn't just tell the priests what He wanted the kings to know?? I mean, God can't use women to share the gospel or His death, burial, and resurrection, but when He has a prophecy proclaiming doom and gloom, women are good enough, right?
Preach sermons? Scripture says women can't do that or that only men can? Where???
Of course, I'm sure you are one of those men that don't allow women, including your wife, to teach you anything. That would be against God's Word, wouldn't it???

H1....Just curious? Where would you fit Anna the Prophetess into this?.....
Luke 2
Notice it says that she spake of him to all them that looked for redemption. When I looked spake up in Strongs this is what I found......
Spake: Strongs Concordance Def......laleo lal-eh'-o
A prolonged form of an otherwise obsolete verb; to talk, that is, utter words: - preach, say, speak (after), talk, tell, utter. Compare G3004
Luke 2:36, 37, 38. And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel of the tribe of Aser; she was of a great age and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity. And she was a widow of about four score and four..years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayer night and day. And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
