Well, since we are deciding about women preachers maybe we can decide if we can own slaves....
'Servants, be obedient unto your masters.'
LOL, that is awesome Sister Alvear. Sure does bring the other thread's 45 pages into focus and make its topic seem like a stupid question to be asking in our current society.
Well, I LOVE TO COOK....and wish I could often stay at home but we have church every night so seldom get to stay at home, ladies meetings and prayers meetings several days a week and visits...lol...because keeping my house clean and meals prepared for the family and dozens that just happen by...

maybe we could find enough scriptures to justify slaves I need at least a dozen...ha....
My joking point about the female slaves is actually valid for the thread, as the same culture that is being discussed also allowed polygamy in addition to slavery.
So with the scriptures to justify owning another person also comes scripture to justify me having 5 or 6 wives.
I am thinking that the NT instruction on treatment of slaves was more so aimed at the cultural reality of the time. Slavery was a common, accepted practice.
So common that people didn't much think about it and instruction that slaves are to be treated as brothers was valid.

Considering the Bible was written by men, I always wondered how different it would be if they would have let women write down a book or two.
2 Points.
1. Your comment leaves the notion that you feel that the Bible is tainted or contaminated with male-ness.
2. Despite the differing views of this and a few previous generations God certainly does have a specific order of authority that he works through and, one has to assume, good reasons for doing so. If women writing a few books would have changed anything in His Eternal, Wise & Holy Word that might be why he didn't do it. One would assume that the true test of God's leading would be that nothing would have changed unless the notions put forth in Gods Word were erroneous and needed changing.
