Should Women Preach in Our Lord's Day Worship Services? A Debate with Tom Ascol and Dwight Mckissic

[@CrestviewScott]

It seems that Pastor McKissic's positions are based in his feelings and emotional responses as opposed to God's Word.

[@samrhodes3510]

@Pk Amponn "Teach one another" is not the same as teaching a congregation. You say Paul tells men and woman to teach again but in the context of teaching a congregation Paul says with the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit that he does not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man because of how original sin entered. I know you mean well, I hope the Holy Spirit gives you eyes to see and ears to hear.

[@TheDeathInTheAir]

@Pk Amponn Respectfully, I'd ask a few questions: What does Isaiah 3:12 mean to you? Does Judges 4:4 mention any appointment, as God does for Othniel, Ehud, Gideon, Jephthah and Samson? Who was General Barak? Did Deborah speak publically? What do Judges 17, 18, 19 and 21 have in common?

[@TheDeathInTheAir]

@Pk Amponn Isaiah 3:12 You said "sinful woman and children are not to rule over them." Are there any non-sinful people? See Proverbs 20:9, Ecclesiastes 7:20, Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:8-10. David and Gideon lived in completely different times. Even from Deborah, we see Gideon wasn't even born yet. Deborah never commanded an army. Barak did. Deborah never directed an army. Barak did. However, Deborah advised Barak. Judges 4:4 Deborah's husband was Lappidoth Judges 4:6 Barak was a commander Judges 4:8 Barak was a coward Exodus 23:33 They shall not dwell in your land, lest they make you sin against me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you." Joshua 6:12 The Lord said, "Judah shall go up; behold, I have given the land into his hand." Judges 1:2 Failure to drive out the inhabitants. Judges 1:27-36, 2:1-5 A generation who did not know the Lord Judges 2:10-15 After this, Judges were appointed to save them out of the hand of those who plundered them. Judges 2 16-23 Othniel Judges 3:9-10 Ehud Judges 3:15 Shamgar Deborah The people of Israel went to her. She did not go to them. Judges 4:5 No mention of her speaking publically. She spoke to Barak only. Gideon called by the Lord Judges 6:14 Tola and Jair arose Judges 10:1-3 These go one. The context is Israel's disobedience. Pausing at Deborah, we are to understand that Barak was not only a coward, he was greedy for glory. Were Judges a good thing for Israel? Sure. Where they also a judgement? Most definitely. The entire book is judgement on Israel. They were taught war. The Lord hates war. No war is started without breaking the 7th commandment. Only then, is war justified and pleasing to the Lord. It is then the only remedy for cruel oppression as seen throughout the book of Judges.

[@2timothy23]

@Pk Amponn No offense, but you are inserting an unbiblical principle into the scriptures to validate something that is not there. Isaiah 3:12 is a scathing condemnation for the sins of a nation if children oppress and women rule over them. They would be sinful if they did so, but the general context is the sinfulness of the nation would bring that type of rule, which is wrong. And to equate that to Deborah in Judges 5 is wrong. First, the judges weren't rulers (kings), they were deliverers. That is the reason Judges 21:25 repeats Judges 17:6, there were no kings during that time. This is also why the last judge, Samuel, was told by God to appoint a king and even then the people wanted the wrong type of king, so they got Saul (1 Samuel 8). Second, in Judges 4:6-8, we see Deborah exhorting Barak to deliver the people like God commanded him, but Barak didn't feel comfortable doing so and needed Deborah's companionship. In other words, Barak was originally told by God to be the judge, but his disobedience led to Deborah (a prophetess) to assist him. She wasn't originally supposed to rule anything; God sent Barak and the fact that Deborah was raised up shows Barak's disobedience and shame in that area. Also Deborah was the wife of Lapidoth (Judges 4:4) As for Colossians 3:16 and 1 Timothy 4:11, these are general commands for Christians to teach one another. The way God has teaching and preaching in the church in an orderly fashion are laid out in other scriptures. It is bad interpretation to take a general command and insert that it means women can do so in the church (by implication or inference) when the context of 1 Timothy 2:9-15 is a clear didactic set of verses that tell us women shouldn't teach or usurp authority over a man in the church. And as Tom Ascol pointed out, Paul's explanation is the creative order, not cultural. We don't negate culture, but the inspired text says nothing about the culture, but goes back to Genesis 1:27. Again, to insert a cultural reason when the text already gives you a Biblical one is bad interpretation. And finally, God has roles for men and women that don't negate their worth. Women can certainly proclaim the gospel and teach outside of the preaching of a church congregation (after all, Timothy was brought up by women in the Lord in 2 Timothy 1:5), but this thinking that we can insert feminism (and this is exactly what it is) into the roles and duties in the church is unbiblical. We don't pull out interpretations to make women able to do something in the church because it does damage to God's plain teaching on the subject. (And as you have pointed out in some posts here and others, you deny original sin from Genesis 3:6-15 and Romans 5:12, therefore it is no surprise that if you get that basic doctrine wrong, your understanding of other doctrines will also be skewed.)

[@samrhodes3510]

@Pk Amponn The Spirit through Paul wrote he does not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man. Our ways are not God's ways. Was it misogynistic of God to make a helper for Adam and assign a role for the genders? Both are equal in God's eyes but roles are taught throughout Scripture. God the Father sent God the Son who Obeyed the Father, both being equal yet having separate roles. I believe the Word of God to be just that. I pray you do too.

Read Judges chapter 4 8 Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go; but if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.” 9 “Certainly I will go with you,” said Deborah. “But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman.” So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh.(V) 10 There Barak summoned(W) Zebulun and Naphtali, and ten thousand men went up under his command. Deborah also went up with him. Where the male men is spiritually asleep, God will a-times use women for leadership!

The other will only say what the Bible says. One believes the Bible as it is written. The other man doesn't believe the Bible. In the end, it comes down to this one thing. It sounds like one man was called, but the other man chooses preaching as his career according to his personal feelings. That's the problem here.

@@atestring1379 Please use Scripture, am I missing somewhere in Scripture that clearly states women are to be Pastor's? Ascol said that in 1 Corinthians 14:34, the Apostle Paul says that women should be silent in church. “Paul identifies two activities, teaching and exercising authority over men in the church,” Ascol said. 1Co 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 1Co 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. Ascol said. “Christian women are spiritually gifted like men are. We must reject any attempt to use a gift in a way contrary to God’s word.” He mentioned: 1Co 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth ... To prayeth or prophesieth is expected, however Preaching at the Pulpit is different and not Biblically accepted, nor is it oppressive. 1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, McKissic said "...It oppressive and sinful to deny women that opportunity.” Against God's Inspired Word. 1Co 4:6 I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another. 2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

*Long post warning* I appreciate the debate, though I did grow frustrated with it from time to time. What I appreciated: 1. Mckissic brought arguments that I had not heard before. Usually, when this position is being debated, the side that affirms female preaching is usually held by someone who does not believe in the inerrancy of the scriptures. Mckissic clearly holds a high view of the Bible and does not want to compromise the importance of its authority. 2. They were cordial and kind toward each other 3. They mostly stuck to the issue at hand What I did not like: 1. Mckissic repeatedly violated the basic rules of debate. He did this by A. Speaking over the top of his opponent B. Asking questions of his opponent, during his opponent's cross-examination time. (This is where Dr. White's "You can ask me that when it is your turn" line comes in handy) C. Using his own cross-examination time to preach, rather than to cross-examine (this is where Dr. White's "Is that a question" line comes in handy) These are important rules. They help ensure that the material is properly covered and that the best possible cases are made. Those were very frustrating violations 2. I don't think it would be unfair of me to claim that Mckissic either held a double standard or simply caught himself in a contradiction (you can decide which one) repeatedly. He did this by: A. Quoting scholars who hold to his position, but then dismissing Ascol's position because some Christians disagree with the position of the scholars that Ascol quoted. So Mckissic can quote scholars who disagree with Ascol's position, but it is invalid for Ascol to quote scholars who disagree with Mckissic's position....because some people disagree with those scholars. B. When Ascol would make the argument for the historical precedents of his positons, Mckissic would say something along the lines of "Yes, but the church has been so wrong on race and gender issues in the past", he would then turn around and try to make an argument for the historical precedents of his own position...by quoting people.....from the same denomination....that he just dismissed.....for being wrong about things in the past. 3. Mckissic equated complementarianism with abuse. This is either slander, or a slip of the tongue. Either way, I am glad that Ascol shut that down. 4. While Mckissic did attempt to make a biblical case for his position, he relied almost completely on anecdotal evidence, experience, and (I believe it is fair to say) emotional pleas. 5. Honestly, I think that the lowest point in the entire debate took place during Mckissic's closing remarks. When he took this issue and turned it into a race issue....I think it reached a new level of low (that is...granting that point #3 was simply a slip of the tongue). This is a horrible way to think about our brothers and sisters. To accuse us of being fine with women preaching, as long as it is not over a white man is....well...it's disgusting. I am not simply trying to take it easy on Ascol. I honestly did not find a logical contradiction, a double standard, or even a violation of basic debate etiquette in his presentation. If there was one thing I would want to change about Ascol's presentation, I would simply want him to be more protective of his time, and not allow Mckissic to eat up so much of it with long stories and mini-sermons. But really, that is the Moderator's job most of the time. However, I do understand that this debate was supposed to be more on the friendly side. I am very thankful for this debate. And I am very thankful that these two brothers both hold to the inerrancy and infallibility of the scripture.

This decision has and will further weaken the local New Testament church according to the Holy Scriptures. The Spirit of God was clear as to why women can't teach and usurp authority over the man. He gave four conditions which made what is transpiring currently in the local assemblies forbidden. 1. Adam was created first. 2. Eve was created after him, and not before he had received the Word of God and subsequently joined the Lord God as he worked in the Garden of Eden. 3. He was not decieved. 4.

This is unacceptable to me for reasons being clearly stated in scripture that the man is the head... how can our church teach men to be the head and to express biblical, natural leadership in our households if they only teach women and don’t even offer anything to teach biblical manhood and biblical directions to being the head Of household and main leader and disciple of our own families!

If the church building were to blow away in a tornado leaving an empty lot, could she then stand where the church once stood and preach the gospel? P.S. The early church did not have pulpits or what we call church buildings. They met in private homes. Pulpits and church buildings came in centuries later. Women were there from the beginning.

I enjoyed watching this debate but I was disappointed with Pastor McKissick’s emotional stance on the issue.It was clear that once Pastor Ascol refuted the notion that Phoebe was to be received as someone giving the word authoritatively and that the gift of prophecy and prophecy is defined by God in scripture so that the office of pastor and the gift of prophecy are different,Mckissick still clung to the notion out of emotion,taking a stance of personal experiences,and pride in himself and those who don’t adhere to 1 Tim 2:12 and verses like these. As someone who has been so heavily influenced by women,growing up in a house with all sisters,and matriarchy within my particular home(not entire family) men like this have the tendency to have emotional demeanors when confronted with contradictions and sin,more so than men raised or influenced by men of God who truly believe in inerrancy of scripture. I submit this verse to you all, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” ‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Ascol’s questions regarding why Mckissick thinks the way he does was meant to be,and I believe stated, that his defense of women in the church was based in personal experience and not the Word of God.Friends that is a slippery slope into hellfire for many souls. Whenever we hold our personal experiences over the Word of God,we say to God “you were wrong.” This does not keep us penitent and is rooted in pride. This debate,in my estimation,to Mckissick,was to show the SBC that they need to repent,and at this point may have been true,but that wasn’t the point of this debate;he came with an ulterior motive to,in my words “show the oppressed that we can rise up and battle this oppressive hegemony and make sense like they do.” But that’s the thing,at a few different points he didn’t make sense and “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭14:33‬ KJV He says on one hand,”SBC has been wrong before and they’re probably wrong now.” And on the other he quotes different members of the SBC...so they’re only right when he quotes them? So if the SBC can’t be trusted all the time,who should you trust all the time?The Lord Himself. “but we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:” ‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭1:9‬ ‭KJV‬‬ It makes total sense that Paul appeals to creation itself in the function of men and women in the church and his indication that the fall itself tells you that women are not equipped the same way men are to resist temptation reconciling certain matters of emotion and logic,thus The Holy Spirit indicating through Paul that women are not to teach,have authority over a man,and are to keep silent in places of worship,in order to preserve the sanctity of the Body of Christ,and not give foothold to the enemy to cause the church to stumble! Pastor Ascol was right,anyone in true alignment and acceptance of God’s order and sovereignty,won’t feel oppressed by His laws:it’s those who seek their own will that rebel in whatever fashion. I believe the SBC has historically,and currently had major problems but to quote different members to preserve your own argument(indeed it is not the Lord’s) dismiss Ascol for quoting the same and say “they’ve been wrong before.” Is disingenuous and heavily implies that his discernment is superior and it’s clearly not! We are to use the Bible to interpret the world and our experiences,not in reverse. Pastor Mckissick may have repented by now but this line of thinking is ubiquitous in Christendom and needs to be exposed.

We are dealing with Biblical outlines, not what we think or want. I do not find anything in the Bible that says anything about a woman preaching or teaching. In Corinthians Paul admonishes the women to be silent. It most likely had something to do with the church in Corinth more than women in general although in Judaism, women were not even allowed to participate in the service with the men, nor were they acceptable witnesses. But the real question is whether women can or should be pastors. That is a far greater role than teacher or preacher. I guess I am oldfashioned. Teach and preach, but do not pastor.

Whether through the mouths of male or female. Let's return to our first love, get the job done and when Jesus returns all academic arguments and denominational differences will be brought to naught.

Ma'am u are right: this are men of God no doubt; but I think the devil is happy seeing them holding back the gospel with unnecessary debates.

This is actually insane and out of the context of why Paul wrote what he wrote. If they were saying women are usurping authority over men as in the context of Paul, it'll be understood. Paul said they shouldn't teach because they'll try to be violent or aggressive in their art of teaching against not Everyman, but against their own men. If the women in that church could conduct themselves well, Paul won't have band them: so why don't we focus today on why Paul issued that statement and watch if women are doing Same rather than chasing the winds and creating division and confusion in times when much work needs to be done. Paul's bases was on the conduct of a woman, not on her gender. All of this anti women preachers will never be heard castigating a woman of God because of her going astray in doctrinal practices but on mere gender inequalities with make the topic none contextually fitting. Today there's a compiled document of the word that wasn't in those days which was the reason why women couldn't be effective. Today learning in silence of the woman had gain maturity; there's a manual for everyone to use for teaching as it wasn't in those days.

Let me preface by saying that I am a staunch conservative Christian, raising my children in The Faith under my God fearing husband. With that said, I am very disappointed as I read these comments. How do you reconcile the women leading the Iranian church today? That’s right. We know because of relief teams there that the Lord is rapidly moving through the Iranian underground church which is predominantly women. Have any of you considered the fact that God uses available and willing vessels? Those who worship me must do so in spirit and truth. What I mean by that is that these women have experienced Christ’s love and are sharing it at the expense of their lives and freedoms. Where are the men? Why is this? Who exactly can God use to preach when the men won’t answer? Why is it that there are little to no men? Only two possible reasons. God hasn’t called many men OR the men are not ANSWERING. God uses faithful and willing vessels. See, this is just one inconvenient truth that must be taken into account. These women are filling a role where there are no males to lead. This isn’t limited to Iran. This is going on worldwide as I follow the Voice of the Martyrs. I want to leave you with this. Of course we know that God’s Word is crystal clear on women Lording over, ruling over, or having authority over men. It is not His perfect order but when there are no men to lead, HE WILL use a willing vessel to accomplish His purposes. Also, I truly believe that a woman must submit to male leadership whenever and wherever possible. This includes her being allowed to preach or teach by her male authority. No woman should Pastor or council a man. I think it’s quite a luxury to even be able to pontificate on this topic. What a privilege we have here in the USA! We have an abundance of male leadership. No one is saying women should take over as head of church. Women are absolutely “qualified” to teach and preach under the authority of a male. Dr. McKissic prevailed here. Hands down.

They could use these scriptures to not spread the gospel if they took them at face value and did not study why Paul was saying them. Can you imagine if they just shut up and were quiet in their churches, which are probably wherever they can secretly meet, and refused to teach the truth of the gospel? Everyone forgets that the true church is the body of Christ and our bodies are the temple of God.

If you had an accurate understanding of the facts, you would understand the reasons for lack of men being saved and therefore in leadership, which creates the void or vacum that God (allows) to be filled by women who are saved (maybe) but does not ordain in the normal order.

Bringing up fresh arguments at the last moment is unfair for the other side, since there is no opportunity to rebuttal.

The issue is bassed on a misunderstanding. Carefuly study the word preach ( euangelidzo, keyruso) in its context an discover that it is not a ministry for the church rather for lost people. The passage in first tim. 2. That forbids women to preach is not the greak word for preaching rather (didascos) this shows that the ministry of making disciples is an intimate relationship with authority witch would not be appropriate for a woman to have over a man for. obvious reasons.

[@lionkj12]

While studying through the book of James and teaching about the mindset he teaches us to have through life's trials God uses to equip us with endurance, wisdom and the crown of life, I was asked, "Do you believe God will not call a woman to preach?" Now, I'm praying for wisdom and searching for truth in that. My immediate response would be, "Sure! God would equip and call a woman to preach. " But I have to ask myself, even if it feels right- is it true? Would the Holy Spirit call a homosexual to be a preacher and senior pastor and not convict him of the sin of homosexuality? He may look like he is bearing all the fruit, and he may convince me that he's called and can remain a practicing homosexual- but is it true. I think that's the real question here, and I would say the pro- women's preaching side represented the emotional side of that answer and the anti women's preaching represented the character of God that is consistent throughout his Bible. It was easy for the pro women's rep to move into black oppression because he relates to the emotions resulting from culture's victim hood morality. Let's get away from victim hood and have the approach that James has in James 1:1. We are a slave of Jesus who is God. He bought and owns us- but we are not victims. We are his children. What Gid says is true, just as Jesus was asked about divorce and he explained that it was not God's design but allowed because of the evil in men's hearts, it was not God's design for women to shepherd over men. God's order is the Father- the Son- man- woman- children. It's a good order because God is good. Let's praise God in Spirit and in truth and let our emotions be led by praising him and humbling ourselves. PTL

I suggest my short and free essay on Deborah. Men and women are perfectly equal spiritually. She was a pastor, according to the scriptures. This is how the Judges are described in Chronicles. To say a woman can be a Judge over Israel, but a woman can't be an elder in a small church, just doesn't make any sense scripturally.

[@lionkj12]

@user-iz8np3vv4i Why do you call the prophet of Israel during their rebellion against God a pastor? God will raise up a woman to lead when a man isn't present. Example, 73% of blacks in America have no father in the home. A mother who is a believer in dwelled with the Holy Spirit is called to pastor her family, leading them spiritually and teaching them to find joy in Jesus. However, the Holy Spirit doesn't work outside of his own word. Best case scenario, a father is at home and is spiritually equipped to pastor and lead his family. But, yes Deborah was a prophet in that she spoke God's word to Israel. However, that was during a time of rebellion against God and was not taught to be the norm.

[@earnestlycontendingforthef5332]

Women please bear in mind, on your coming Judgment Day you will be judged on your willingness and obedience to the Divinely endorsed Scripture teachings and instructions that follow. Now, regarding the false teaching for the emancipation of women in the Christian fraternity. Such 21st-century contrived beliefs are in contravention and defiance of the Lord's command for women to remain silent in the church assemblies. "As [is the practice] in all the churches of the saints (God's people), 34 The women should keep quiet in the churches, for they are not authorized to speak, but should take a secondary and subordinate place, just as the Law also says. 35 But if there is anything they want to learn, they should ask their own husbands at home, for it is disgraceful for a woman to talk in church [ for her to usurp and exercise authority over men in the church]. 36 What! Did the word of the Lord originate with you [Corinthians], or has it reached only you? 37 If anyone thinks and claims that he is a prophet [filled with and governed by the Holy Spirit of God and inspired to interpret the divine will and purpose in preaching or teaching] or has any other spiritual endowment, let him understand (recognize and acknowledge) ***What what I am writing to you is a command of the Lord***. 38 But if anyone disregards or does not recognize [ that it is a command of the Lord], he is disregarded and not recognized [he is one whom God knows not]. 1 Corinthians 14:33-38 (AMPLIFIED ,BIBLE) Thus if any insist on disregarding the Lord's command for a woman's silence they have become "One whom God knows not" Which is a most undignified and ungodly position any man or woman could possibly find themselves. For even St. Paul's instruction makes it quite plain that women are forbidden to teach men and must not usurp their God given authority. "11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression" 1 Timothy 2:10-14 (KJV)

Ascol lost me at "Eve usurped" - that is not what the scripture states. That is a deliberate misrepresentation of the Genesis story to attempt synchronization with 1 Timothy 2. Rather, it is a better lesson that we do not go along with someone who is deceived, instead stand firm. This includes men who are deceived in the flesh that they must dominate or rule over others. 1 Timothy 2 does discuss a woman not dominating a man, especially in a place where there were rampant false teachers and pagan myths being passed through church - but this is a universal ethic. No Christian is meant to Lord over another (see Jesus' statements in Matthew 20), but rather to serve in love. For Christians are to submit to one another (Ephesians 5:21) and live in harmony as much as it depends on them and NOT conform to the pattern of this world (Romans 12), which includes domination of one over another. For in Christ there is neither male nor female, for all are one (Galatians 3). A woman ruling over a man is no worse than a man ruling over a woman - either is done selfishly. Genesis is clear that Eve was deceived but Adam sinned knowingly. So how does Adam's open rebellion qualify men to leadership in some type of natural order? It doesn't. Only the heart submitted to God through the grace that sets aside the curse is qualified and even then only at His will. Submission to God is unnatural in this fallen world for it is heaven-minded, and foolishness to those who are perishing (1 Corinthians 1). Both men and women were created for the ultimate destiny of sonship in God (Galatians 3) with the astounding gift of co-inheritance with Christ, and to be priests in Christ's kingdom (Revelation 1:6). Oh how I wish men and women could treat each other with eternity in mind.

The apostle Paul instruction is explicit and he explains why, all in just three verses in 2 Timothy 2:12-14 - “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.” The keywords that Dwight Mckissic have failed to see that in preaching from the pulpit to the congregation on a Sunday worship service is, “to exercise authority over a man”. We are dealing with the Word of God during worship. This has nothing to do with suppressing or oppressing the rights of women, though the world will see it that way, hypocritically. The reason for this which this is forbidden is cited in God’s creation ordinance from Genesis. The apostle’s justification is explicit and short to the point. That is, there is a natural order of authority in God’s creation of mankind.

Tell me why was Mary the entire experience with Jesus was taken out of the Bible ???????????????????????????

[@treyforthwin]

A biblical debate is supposed to only involve biblical evidence. Let the scripture speak for it's self. If you have to go outside of the scripture to try and convince people it's the truth. Then it means you are hiding what you believe behind lies... The scripture is plain. It says exactly what it was meant to say.

[@kathleensanford1950]

Tom Aschol is very well-spoken in this debate. I agree with him..as I think he brings Biblical clarity to the subject. We recently left a church where women just treated the church service like a free for all. The piano player would speak out of her own accord whenever she felt like it...alot of gibberish. Male leadership should not compromise in this.

Perfect example of “ reading into a scripture regarding Phoebe. He assumes / reads into the text that she was there to teach or perform as a pastor. Text does not say that.

[@cbdw7143]

In reference to 1 Timothy look at the whole context. Paul was addressing an issue Timothy was having with an all-female cult who were spreading false teachings. You have to look at the entire setting and understand why that verse was placed there to understand what was going on. If you look at Romans 16 Paul commends plenty of women who were leaders in the church.

[@dennisdabney493]

1 Timothy epistle = The Whole Context is a Pastoral Letter Paul wrote this epistle with the pastoral ministry in view. The entire letter makes that clear. Roman 16 says nothing about leadership, nothing concerning teaching the Local New Testament and certainly not preaching to assembly. That is being imposed upon 1 Timothy and Romans. You have failed to provide one verse, only opinions.

THANK YOU!!! A woman us NOT to have authority over a man AT ALL!! POINT BLANK! All that means is she is not to have power over him as in question his teachings in church but to wait until they are HOME! That means so that the congregation will NOT think more of her than what she really intents and make assumptions. A woman not teaching on the pulpet just means pretty much the same thing, she is not to correct his teaching, change his teaching or over through. That would be being ignorant! That scripture also means that the woman Paul was writing to where FALSE PROPHETS! They did NOT know what they were talking about so they should keep quite

[@thewatcher96]

@@alyssabeale1095 .......Bravo!!! "11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." 1 Timothy 2:11-14 (KJV)

My father never believed a woman should preach. When he died my brother's shocked me by having a woman perform his funeral. Male ministers were available too.

[@mexrobert3563]

But Paul did not say anything about Artemis or culture in that verses. nothing to do with cultural issues of that time..he referred to the order of creation, right??

[@gennisparry4352]

I believe so. I am a woman and I believe this scripture. My women church sisters does not agree with me.

1787 Black men where only 3/5 human what did the church say at that time. There could have so many different issues solved if the church would have stood up. 1787 would have been an awesome start.

[@gaynorkelly9413]

They were deemed 3/5 human BECAUSE the BIBLE said ALL men were created equal and men had to rationalise their treatment of them. Let's not judge the WORD of God by man's manipulation of it for their own reasons....much like their abdication of their leadership roles in the home AND the church.

[@d.rogers5287]

God will judge all of them that is a fact.
