Jesus is the husband of his bride(church) If we believe that we are one with God, then when we speak within the church it is the husband(Jesus) who speaks through us isn't it? The church is the body of believers and not an actual building.(where three are gathered in my name, there am I also--church?)
As christians we are no longer an "I" but a we, with Jesus as the head. God has no respect of persons and can, will and does speak through whom he choses regardless of race, sex or color. Isn't women submit to their husbands an example that all the bride submit to God? Eve was created for Adam as the bride is for the husband. We are all female(bride) in the eyes of Jesus--we submit only to Him.
No respect of persons---
Romans 2:11--
Colossians 3:11 and 3:25--**
Galatians 3:28--
Ephesians 6:9--
1 Peter 1:17--
Genesis 1:27
If everyone is responsible for themselves (own sins) and there is no respect of persons according to God. Then shouldn't all who know the truth be sharing their faith. (preaching and teaching)--There were prophetesses--(higher rank than preacher and teacher) 1 Corinthians--12:28 --and this is a list according to rank.
I know that it says both things in the New Testament--but it's always one person that has said both things--(Paul)--Why? I think because of the traditions of the age that Paul misunderstood what God was telling Him.
Yeshua Bless You
P.S.--Women CAN preach and teach
