Ho-Hum....another verse we've dealt w/ ad nauseum. Hey, I just has a thought, how about if we just kept asking you to explain I Tim. 2:11-15 [which you've yet to satisfy!] no matter how detailed you answered?????

I reeeeeeeeeeeally wish you would interact w/ that text by the way......

both prayer and preaching is usually done anywhere...just ask a missionary....

[Sister Alvear]

The great British preacher Charles Spurgeon once told a story about a Hindu woman who said to a missionary "Surely your Bible was written by a woman." When the missionary asked why, the woman replied "Because it says so many kind things for women....

You mean the "great trinity preacher"????

all the things we will say both pro and con have been discussed for years...The best thing is to make your calling and election sure...and not change with every wind of doctrine...
Since someone requested not to make this personal I will try to refrain from doing so...however let me say after over 40 years on the mission field I sure would not be here if it was not a heaven or hell issue. The Lord called and for me to be saved I MUST obey HIS calling...the older I get the harder it becomes for my strength is not what it used to be.
I have no desire to offend any brother that writes here so please do not think I am your enemy because you may not believe in me.
Since I think the only one I personally know that is writing on this subject that does not believe in women preachers is Elder Epley and he knows me personally and we do not agree on this subject but I consider him very highly and have deep respect for him and never in a million years would I say anything on purpose to belittle him and he knows that.
He would always be welcome in our churches and in our home and there are so many other things we agree on he certainly is man of God enough to use ethics...and by the same token I am woman of God enough that if I were to visit his church he knows me well enough to trust me to give a testimony.
I think we all can state our reasons but in the end we are all baptized into one body and RESPECT is the key word in any situation.
And for those of you that do not know me...no...I have never been ordained as a minister! I am only a voice that tells the story of Jesus to whoever and where ever....

My husband and son are ordained! Now I sure must be a paradox to many....ha....

On this thread It was requested that that I give scripture to back up my stance on women preachers and though it may appear that I am picking on girls that is not my intention.The position I take has been the majority position for 2,000 years all I ask is scripture that undeniably and unequivocally over turns Paul's letters to the Corinthians and to Timothy.When we tell someone the plan of Salvation and they claim Matthew 28:19 as their Salvation plan we can take them to the Word in Acts 2:38,Mark 16:16,Acts 10,Acts 19 and many other scriptures. No one does this who advocates women preachers, they just give knee jerk reactions and touchy feely emotions but i give you the Word of God.

Sticking to the NT, there is plenty of precedent for a prophetess.

Funny...we must not have the same Bible! My Bible does not ONCE refer to a prophetess in the NT church economy! Even if it did, the meaning of "prophetess" does not connote a "women preacher" in the since of the set-in office of the 5-fold ministry. Spare me Young's Concordance...since he already believed in women preachers!

my Bible was translated by trinity translators...
