Apostolic Feminists

[Rhoni]

There are quite a few licensed UPCI female preachers. So what would licensure be or not be according to scripture? It is God who uses who he will use..regardless of sex, licensure, or acceptance of others.

Here... once again your limited knowledge or interest in languages is glaring

The word preacher is feminine ... in the Hebrew ...

Some languages have masculine and feminine words ... not dealing necessarily w/ gender

In Spanish an example would be: el auto [masculine article used w/ car ...Taken literally .... How many male cars do you know ...???

As long as it doesn't fit your ideology .. then she of course wasn't in ministry.

Preaching the Gospel ... or sharing the good news is Christ's mandate to all believer's ... and BTW ... ever hear of the PRIESTHOOD OF ALL BELIEVERS ... it's quite a powerful concept.

Deny ... Deny ... Deny ... even when faced with biblical witness.

Sorry Dan every thing you posted is an ASSUMPTION not ONE FACT is included.

All you need is where ONE woman preached in a public assembly to men and the discussion is over NAME the woman!!!!!!! Very simple.

The priesthood of all believers does NOT have ONE thing to do with the subject every saved person is included but every saved person is not in the 5-fold ministry.

Saith whom ... you ??? Elder, it's farcical to maintain the position that preaching the gospel, as Christ commanded .... is witnessing ... yet preaching to a public assembly is SOME KIND OF OTHER PREACHING ???

It holds NO WATER ....

Thayers is outdated. If you don't believe me, just ask Newman.

I have looked this over and there are many lexicons that do not give the defintion that this was a woman. There are both masculine and feminine names used by both sexes today so that proves nothing. Like Chis, Gail, and many others. I know a pastor named Gail most folks named Gail are women so someone writing his name today 19 centuries later someone might say he was a woman because of the name. However the text does NOT say she was an apostle but rather was known or note among the apostles NOT THE SAME. Just give the name of that woman that preached in a public assembly to men and the discussion is over.

However the pronoun HE is used with them. No pronouns are used of Junia that is point so it is a guessing game. Again they are note or KNOWN among the Apostles I am KNOWN among bankers-carpenters-plumbers-factory workers but I am none of the above. So to be note or known among a group does not make you part of the group. That is so easy.
