When Jesus met the woman at the well in John's Gospel chapter 4.

Senior Pastor, deacons should be men as the Scripture's say.īut can a woman preach the Gospel and evangelize? Yes they can. You and Old Painless are a gift to these forums. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man she must be silent. Your examples don't conflict with any of that.Īnother passage that really spells something out is I Timothy 2:11-14ġ1 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. Women can teach, they can spread the gospel, be missionaries, God did use them at times in the Old Testament in great ways, but when it comes to the body of Christ, the church, it is clear that women are not to be in an overseer position over men. Women are not inferior, they have a function but it is never to hold the office calling of an overseer. And this is just one place that makes it clear that God's blue print for the church has men in the leadership roles. 1st Timothy 3 regarding the qualifications for an overseer is refering to men. I gave you examples that clearly prove that your 'translation' is wrong. It's a MASSIVE conspiracy!īottom line is that you do what feels right to you and Jesus loves you so it's okay. I mean, it was all laid out in the historical work of Dan Brown. Yeah, but don't you know that was redacted to include all the masculine specific language? Really Ironmaker, I would love you to show me where it says that.ġ Timothy 3: 1This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.ĢA bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach ģNot given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre but patient, not a brawler, not covetous ĤOne that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity ĥ(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)ĦNot a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.ħMoreover he must have a good report of them which are without lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. It's translation into Western languages leaves a lot to be desired. The Hebrew texts clearly show women as leaders, teachers, priests and the like, as did our Bible in the original Greek and Aramaic.

It was a male dominated world, and men wanted to hold onto power, so many in the 'church' wanted to keep it that way nad were willing to sacrifice the integrity of the word of God to do it.

when the words were changed to include her as 'one of the outstanding men' instead. Junia for instance, was described by Paul as ' outstanding among the apostles', and it was widely known that she was a woman until it was covered up after about 1000 a.d. The church has tried to make women subservient and lesser than men for centuries, and a lot of women had been ' changed' to men in our Bible. Hulda, who triggered a massive religious renewal. Deborah, who was a prophet/judge and the leader of the Army of Israel, Philiip's four daughters,Tabitha( also known as Dorcas, her name in Greek), Paul refers to Euodia and Scyntyche who spread the Gospel under his direction. Mary, ( not Jesus mother), was trusted with the good news of his resurrection over the males in the group because of the strength of her faith. It several daughters of a prophet that went around preaching in old testament. In my bible both men and women were prophets, preachers and teachers. euGene Scott Ph.D ® is a registered trademark name.Really Ironmaker, I would love you to show me where it says that.
