Re: Do You Believe In Women Preachers?
Well here it is again the question, What do you believe? In reality it doesn't make any difference what I believe or what someone else believes. People have the tendency to believe whatever they want. What's important is what does the Bible say!
I Corinthians Chapter14 deals with the confusion that is going on in the church and has been passed to Paul in a letter requesting his reply. He replys the answer directly to just that. The Order in The Church. Pauls does not address the ministry of Jesus in the world pertaining to a woman'scalling because he can't without contridicting what the Prophet Joel fortold.( Acts Chapter 2 verses; 17 and 18 It states once the Holy Ghost is poured out in the last days the result will be, sons and DAUGHTERS shall prophesy and, HANDMAIDENS will prophesy.Prophesy is not only declaring the future by the direction of God, prophesy is declaring God's word. It covers past, present, and future content.
Paul said in the church, verse,34.Let your women keep SILENCE.this means to be still and calm and under control. If the word was silent then it means, don't say anything.the other half of that verse states, commanded to be under obedience, which means under control of their husband.
I think this verse is one that is quick read and very misinterrupted.
In verse 35 Paul says it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church. Now there is no way literally Paul is saying women can't say anything while at church. Both of these verses has nothing to do with preaching but has everything to do with the out of control situation that was going on at that location.
Neither does this section of the Bible address the position of a Pastor. There is only one area that gives the qualification and that is only intended to a man of God. Men are the head of the church of our Lord Jesus as they are the head of the woman.
But thanks be unto our Lord and Savior for the detication of women in the churches down through the ages or half of the current churches would not even be here. Praise to His Holy Name!!!!
