I believe someone said the Roman Catholics are the ones that changed it to "he". Didn't Brother Strange say that?

Can anyone tell me if any of the Apostles where Gentiles?

If so, which one???

From G4396; to foretell events, divine, speak under inspiration, exercise the prophetic office: - prophesy.

When you say a prophetess isn't a "prophet", what do you mean? What position are you excluding her from with that statement?

*curious*

When you say a woman can't be a "prophet", what do you mean? What position are you excluding her from with that statement?

Women can prophecy and exercise all nine gifts. Prophecying is NOT preaching look at those who prophecied in the NT they were not preaching but prophecying. The texts themselves are clear what NT prophecying is.

But why is it so important to say that a woman is NOT a prophet??? I don't get it....I'm just wondering why that distinction is even necessary?

You didn't say "A prophetess is not a preacher", you said "A prophetess is not a female prophet!"

Isn't that precisely what she is? A female prophet? What is included in the definition of "prophet" that would exclude a woman from being a prophet, as opposed to a "prophetess"?

Most prophets preached that is the crux of the matter but women who were prophetesses prophecied NONE preached that is the point. If a female prophet was percieved as a godly woman who prophocied only I would not have a problem but in todays language it is infered a woman prophet is a preacher.

The out sliders looking in, will assume that Apostolics are Male supremest.

A prophetess is a Feminine form of prophet.

The Apostolics have created a demeaning role for women.

Women due respect and worth are denied.
