Women Preachers

In the parking lot? If the building is on fire, does a woman have to poke her husband and point so he can yell, "Fire!"?

And heaven forbid they should teach Sunday school, where little men are.

I see great inconsistencies here. It isn't ok to preach, pastor, lead in a church....

But most think it is then ok to lead the youth group, lead the choir, lead a Sunday School class, preach at kids service, teach Sunday School when you're female.

I don't think that its as big of an issue with the "little men" because theirs egos haven't fully developed.

I'm not sure I agree with you here. I had a 9 year old come into my class with "Sponge Bob Square Pants" tattoos on his arms. He also informed me he had one on his back.

What a man!

If a man can be a bride can he also be the husband of one wife?

If a man must be the husband of one wife can he also be espoused to another?

Word games don't fly with me.

Just for Elder Epley.

Listed below are the names of all the MALE pastors listed in the NT.




























If you say there are some, you best be able to prove it with SCRIPTURE, not speculation or a history lesson!

I think the idea of 'women preachers' is unscriptural.

How do you deal with the texts about silence in the church and such?

I believe them and accept them.

How do you deal with the obvious anointing and giftedness of women?

'Obvious'? Does God gift women to do what He has commanded them NOT to do? Or does God gift anyone to NOT do what He has commanded them to do?

In any event, the church has deeper problems than women preachers to deal with.
