I TOO HAVE STUDIED THE SUBJECT FOR OVER 40 YEARS...HOWEVER I would be the last to fuss with you or anyone else...many years ago God walked in my bedroom and called me to be a missionary...whatever that may mean...for me it has meant doing just about everything...

I do have a different concept than most people because Bible days were so different...there were not even church buildings as we know them for many, many years...most people met in homes or where ever ....

A woman who led a house church was Nympha (Col. 4:15). Paul sent greetings to her and to the church at her house. Some modern scholars try to get around this by saying that Nympha was "just" the hostess, not the pastor. If that were so, who did pastor her house church, and why would Paul so rudely fail to greet the pastor as well as the hostess?

The NT mentions several women who had services in their homes...PAUL had women that traveled with him.
The catacombs of Rome have paintings of women baptizing and serving communion...

The councils of ORANGE TOOK WOMEN FROM THE PULPITS JUST AS THE COUNCILS CHANGED MANY THINGS....

Get yourself up on a high mountain, O Zion, bearer of good news, Lift up your voice mighitly, O Jerusalem, bearer of good news; Lift it up, do not fear.

The Lord gives the command, the women that proclaims the good tidings are a great host (Psalm 68:11 NASB).

Dr. Adam Clark gives this literal translation of Psalms 68:11: Of the female preachers, there was a great host.

Isaiah 40:9: Dr. Clark’s literal translation is also enlightening, AO daughter that bring good tidings to Zion, get thee up into the high mountain. O thou woman that publishes good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid, say unto the city of Judah, Behold your God.”

Here is a list of translations of Psalms 68:11. One can certainly draw strength from. “The Lord giveth the word, the women that published the tiding are a great host” (Psalm 68:11 ASV).

“The Lord gives the word (of power): the women who bear and publish (the news) are a great host” (Amp. Bible).

“The Lord proclaims good news, or the word, women bearing good news” (New English Bible).

“The Lord gives the word; women bear the glad tidings” [a Vast Army] (New American Bible).

“The Lord gave matter to the women to tell of the great army” (The Geneva Bible).

“The Lord gave the command and many women carried the news” (The Good News Bible).

“When the Lord sent news of victory, the women who told it were a mighty host” (James Moffatts Translation).

The word “publish” in Hebrew is “basar” (Strong’s 1319), which means “to announce (glad news); messenger, preach, publish and shewforth.”

The Bible teaches a “vast army” of women proclaimers. According to Strong’s 6635, it means “A mass of persons.”
