Now, Sis., some would say that is a spirit of rebellion and a callous disregard of the clear teaching and commands of Scripture. I do not personally believe that way but some do.

We had a pastor who did not believe in women preachers. One woman with a large family told him she thought she was "called to preach." He told her, "God not only called you to preach, He gave you the congregation."

At one time he mentioned how much the Apostle Paul had suffered --shipwreck, beatings, imprisonment, stoning, etc. but there was one thing he would not suffer-- he would not suffer a woman to teach (1 Tim 2:12).

In my opinion, all offices or ministries are available to both men and women. I have no problem with women as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers.

A bishop is supposed to be the husband of one wife and so is a deacon but that did not stop the Apostle Paul from designating Phoebe as a deacon.

"lady man" or "lady boy" can have some serious connotations.

We're supposed to believe "as the Scriptures have said." "I DO NOT ALLOW A WOMAN TO TEACH, OR TO EXCERCISE AUTHORITY OVER A MAN. SHE IS TO REMAIN QUIET. FOR ADAM WAS FIRST FORMED, THEN EVE...." Honestly, you're gonna' tell me you can understand the singular name of Mt. 28:19 , yet you can't somehow comprehend something this plain??? I smell a bias in the house!

Problem is, women instructing men is a violation of God's created order...no to mention the glory of man [woman] instructing men....sad, very sad.

Respectfully....

Can we have one thread where it's not a personal indictment on your ministry?

I mean that in all sincerity. It detracts from the real evidence and hearty discussions to be made on this topic. It makes the conversation more emotional than it needs to be.

Bless you.

Hmmm, if simply quoting & believing the Bible denotes being "wrong on the issue," then "wrong" I am!! I suppose you're now "wrong on the issue" for believing in Christ based upon the same Bible eh' ????
