How about the scriptire says that there's no Jew nor gentile and no gender in God's eyes? No, Im not a pastor nor am I for 100 genders, only male & female as far as earthly flesh goes. Now you do you and I do me since ne9ther you are responsible for my soul nor I for yours. We all have opinions and only G9d knows the heart of a person.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

[29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. " Since this is your first time hearing from him, you'll need to apply this test in 1 John 4. Once you hear from any spirit, you must apply this test. God will not be offended. He would rather you be safe than sorry. 1 John 4 King James Version 4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Can women share the gospel with others? Yes Can women hold a position of authority over a man in Church or pastor a church? No. Absolutely not. There is a difference between telling people about Jesus and how He died on the cross for your sins and that those who repent and believe will have everlasting life, AND teaching a body of people about the Bible in church. If God says it’s wrong, your opinion doesn’t matter. There’s a reason why the word of God says. That the heart is deceitful. Your hearts desires should equate to God’s desires.

Pastor John MacArthur is a wonderful pastor and will teach you a lot about the Bible. Please don’t let the short turn you off about him so to speak. He is literally teaching from the Bible. This is a teaching from the Bible. God never said that a woman can’t evangelize, or lead people to Christ. God doesn’t want women on the pulpit. And there is a reason for that. Women should not be preaching unto men about how to conduct themselves in their lives. I’m sure there’s more to it but that’s what I gather from it. No where in the Bible does it say for women to not spread the word or do the work of God. It’s simply says for a woman to not be a preacher, or head of a church.

So this is what happens when you don’t study the context of the scriptures. When Paul speaks to the Corinthians about women not speaking in the congregation, he was actually reprehending woman for understanding the teachings of Jesus Christ, but still asking silly questions in the middle of the service. Paul is not saying that women are prohibited to preach the word of the Lord, and there is no verse in the Bible that says “women cannot be pastors”. What Paul was pointing out was the intention behind those comments and questions women were shouting, for they were challenging the authority of the Corinthians church leaders. If there were an actual verse about not being pastors, it would say that no person is worthy of that position. Lets stop with the fanatical, extra religious thinking. None of us is worthy of sharing the Lord’s word, but it was by grace that we all have the assignment of preaching and make disciples for Christ to glorify God Father. It is not feminism, as it is not patriarchal thinking. We are all children of God by grace and we all are called to serve Him. So much discrepancy about women being or not being pastors, and there has been thousands of “pastors” that have robbed their congregations, lied, utilized, abused, and so much degrading actions.

Most women have children, I can’t imagine trying to “lead” a church and also trying to disciple my children. I feel like I would fail my children for this supposed “calling”. And I’m even if I didn’t have children, the Bible is clear, it’s about obedience. Women who pastor simply lack humility, and are prideful.

I don’t even understand why women and men are working so hard against this. Being a pastor comes with great responsibility and lots of temptations and hard times. Women have so many other things to contribute with in a church, so “why” are we so stubborn to be pastors? God can use you in other great ways. I personally belive that women are supposed to serve in other ways like praying for the people, worshipping god, taking care of the assembly, and i believe that women should be a witness of Jesus outside as well. The thing is the church isn’t just supposed to be a nice place where you go and eat and talk to people and worship the lord. The church is also a place where the enemy attacks, and sometimes the government, and the church is a place where the leaders have to make tough decisions and lead the people well. And there is something beautiful about being the silent one, you will be able to see people in another way, serve people in another way, you will be able to pray ( and praying is powerful ) you will be able to serve and honor God the way he intended for us. It doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t speak kindly to others or never answer if we are spoken to it just means that we should have a quit spirit and not be trying to take leader rolls like the men do. I don’t judge anyone I was a leader in church for almost a year, I now see a lot of things behind the scenes and I trust that God knows what’s best. But honestly I do believe women are allowed to teach just not for men, rather young women and be a role model for them, I just believe that the lord loves his women very dearly, he doesn’t say things to make us feel less worthy. He is a God of order, and he has decided that this is the model for the church. Women are very important as well and we can’t forget that, our kindness and softness along with our strong faith can be a huge impact in peoples lives.

As for me, I absolutely don't have any problem with women being pastors or leaders in church. God said He will pour out His Spirit on all flesh, and both sons and daughters will prophesy. How do daughters prophesy to God's people if they don't speak at all in church? Remember, that women held leadership roles in Scriptures, right from the Genesis to the Revelation. Deborah, a woman was a judge In Israel, and she led a whole nation, which is way larger than a congregation. Also, Josiah, a little boy became king at eight years old. This is to show that this concept of women not preaching in church is satanic. The church is not a men's cult but the Ecclesia of God, and anyone can function as He permits, regardless of gender. God calls whoever He wills, and empowers whoever he wants. God can use anybody at anytime for whatever purpose He wishes, and we can't do anything about it, he's God. If God can use a donkey to speak to Balaam and little David to defeat Goliath, what the entire Israel was afraid of, why can't he use a woman to lead His church? Don't demonize what God deems appropriate. If you're a woman reading this, and God is calling you to minister, go ahead and don't let the devil use these religiously brainwashed folks to stop you. #EvangelistGlobal

It’s interesting that the Holy Spirit often has been treated as a ‘lesser’ Person of the Godhead, even though He, too, is God. Women also seem to be treated as ‘less than’ even though Eve was taken out of Adam’s side and God told both Adam and Eve to have dominion over all things. What we’re experiencing is a result of the fall from Grace, not God’s original blueprint for mankind. The Bible tells us to study to show ourselves approved. Without the revelation and teaching of scripture through the Holy Spirit, we’ll lack the insight and understanding of scripture and interpret it through our fallen nature, not through the lens of accuracy and truth that only the Holy Spirit can provide.

But i came to a realization. Thinking about my role and a mans role, Focusing on what it means to be the woman of God. I realized something about Adam and Eve, God created Adam first, but what dawned on me was really thinking about who actually knows how long it was just Adam and God before he created Eve, so what i got from that for myself was that Adam had a longer and meaningful relationship with God and he was in a higher position than Eve aside from what God already placed on Adam. Eve came after, she was there to be a help mate to Adam. When i think about that i realize my role as a woman is not bad. I desire to have a Man of God who knows Him in such a way that there's no room for me to become a " teacher " in a role made for men. since God created Adam first, I desire for my Husband to know Christ more than I, understanding that I need to have my own relationship but God can use me in ways that are specifically for me.

The context of women not speaking in churches is because at that time the Corinthian women use to come in church and talk one with another about everything going on in their home; including their sex lives. It was disruptive and so that's why they were told to be silent in the church. They were disrupting the full of the Holy Spirit. The first person the spread Jesus' word was the woman at the well. He sent her to prophesy personally.

Facts

[@mosesmanaka8109]

The first Evangelists of the Gospel were women who found the empty tomb and met Jesus. The women went to proclaim the Good News to the men Disciples but the men did not believe. Great example set by the men, would you say. Even Thomas first wanted to inspect the nail scared hands before believing. Paul was merely addressing the cultural context where some women were getting too excited in Church and got out of order. Paul was not addressing it in terms of an absolute doctrine that women cannot preach or become Pastors. Paul did however make clear as a absolute Doctrine that "There is now no more male or female, slave or free, for we are all one in Christ". You are missing a valuable point and a blessing in that it was a woman (Eve) who through her actions brought sin and shame into the world and it was now through the woman who was granted the previlege of finding the empty tomb and having the honour of proclaiming the Good News to the men in order to bring mankind Life. GOD Bless you, you are a great teacher but you are wrong in your view, it is pure heresy that women cannot become Pastors or Preachers or Priests or indeed hold any office in the Church. As with anything including the eating of certain foods or alcohol with some people, you need to be sensitive by allowing women to preach in certain cultures so as not to be a stumbling block but there are no provisions to prohibit women from becoming Pastors.

I heard the original language is better translated as 'chatter '. Women like to talk, it's known. It's asking women not to gossip or speak during the sermon, instead listen. I also believe that a female preacher or evangelist is more likely to be physically attacked or spoken over by unruly men. More likely to have her feelings hurt or belief shaken if the crowd rebels against her. More likely to be spoken negatively about by uncivilised people. I personally like that it's not my responsibility to preach in public. Men should take that risk. But I also don't believe that women aren't allowed to speak at all, especially when protected by a strong line of men who honour her. Traditionally, women would be having the majority of spiritual influence on their children and communities. Teaching and spending all day with them. Whereas in reality, it might be the only time during the week that men got to speak to them. As they'd be spending dawn till dusk outside the home, working on the farm or similar. And mostly too exhausted to exert real spiritual influence over their family afterwards. It was giving men a chance to speak at all. Now that parenting roles are a lot more equal than they used to be, I'm not sure it's 100% applicable anymore. Perhaps women shouldn't be pastors, but perhaps men should be out in the sun breaking their backs all day as well.

[@mcw0261]

Thank you for searching for grace. His interpretation is actually incorrect . The Bible in this case uses the word Women to refer to wives. The Greek word is "gunee" which means a women who is a wife. A wife should not be over her man trying to instruct him in church but should represent man's submission to Christ learning in all submission, piety, and quiteness. When is the last time we have quitely submitted to God and listened? Or why don't we seek to really understand God's Character in Christ? Perhaps then we would have already known this lesson. We would have also read this scripture (and no scripture can be set aside): In the spirit: There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, *nor is there male and female* , for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:28 NIV The word female in this case is "Thelus" which mean all women, not "gunee" which mean women who are wives. If Paul wanted to consider all women he would have said Thelus not gunee. So be there is neither male or female in the spirit, God does not forbid a Female to teach, but for a wife to hold and wield God like authority over "the man", or otherwise the husband, which is not the order of his Word. We must rightly divide the word, may you Go in peace, and He will forgive us for the small misstep. @Omar Sheriff Kaptan The Strongs Concordance is simply the definition of the Greek words that were used to write the King James Version. The King James Version was translated from the "Masoretic Text" and original Greek version. Do you believe the King James Version is inspired? Also other examples for you. (Sorry I misunderstood your previous message) I thought you were quoting old testament: 1 Timothy 3:11 still uses the word Gunee but this time it says Wife. The Greek word hasn't changed, but the interpreters tried to get a more complex language, Greek, and put it in the very simplified language of English and it lost some of its nuance, but it did not lose it's power for those who use the Spirit. 1 Timothy 5:14 uses the word "neos" and it's translated as "Young Women" (who have not been married). So Paul is very educated in his Greek, you can trust he means what he says. *And here is the most important context of your answer* If Paul said in 1 Timothy 2:14-15: And Adam was not deceived, but the *woman* ... fell into transgression. The word here for woman again is gunee. Was not Eve Adam's wife? Sorry for the translators. Then the word says: Nevertheless *she will be saved in childbearing* if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control. I Timothy 2:15 NKJV How could all women be saved in childbearing? Only Wives can be saved in childbearing. Not all women will bear children. So when Paul uses Gunee he is writing a letter to Timothy for his work ministering to married women and men in Ephesus, as well as ministering to all others. Thanks be to God we can use the letter to better understand the Character and Desire if God and make it fit within our own lives even 2 thousand years later. Hope that help clarifies the issue. It is nuanced, but not veiled if you research. I am sorry that the Translators made these small translation decisions. But it works for our Good for those who fear The Lord. With Love. Here to answer sincere questions. Thanks be to Jesus!

I find it very interesting that the word ‘pastor’ , boiled down to its essence, means to shepherd, to be a shepherd. Did you know that Rachel, Jacob’s wife, was a shepherd? Interesting fact and yet, here we are still debating whether or not women can be shepherds (they can and are) in the church. I know this: many men have held women back because they’re afraid of strong women. So they accuse them of having a Jezebel spirit, when in fact they themselves are operating under that spirit in an attempt to control, deny, guilt trip, abuse, manipulate, and coerce women to keep their ‘rightful role.’ Well, I’ll tell you this, the role that’s been perpetuated here is not from God, it is from the pit of hell and satan himself. God never made women to be doormats and yet many in the church treat them exactly that way. The Kings daughters are Chayil, not doormats. The men who have come into agreement with this have come into an agreement with satan, not the Truth, Jesus Himself. He would never treat His daughters, and joint heirs of the kingdom this way. Yet many men in the church ( and some women) continue to support this lie. The men doing this need to repent and humble themselves. Only then can men AND women take their rightful place as co-heirs and co-rulers of the kingdom. Strong women, Chayil women, won’t control or manipulate, they will simply be led by the Spirit of God and do what He’s called them to do. Men agreeing with this are being led by a spirit of fear, not by the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. Women are rising up in the power and strength of the Holy Spirit and they won’t be stopped. Psalm 68:11 is a prophetic declaration for this time. You may not like it, you may reject them but you’re really rejecting God Who sent them and you’ll have to answer for that, not the women being obedient to the Call. Women have the same Holy Spirit that men do. Why would He then limit His abilities, His power, and His anointing in women simply because of their gender? The Truth is, He doesn’t, but men do.

@@YosefRosenfield The clear teaching of Scripture is better evidence than a few examples of God using a prophetess. It is true that women were chosen by God for special service to Him and that they stand as models of faith, courage, and, yes, leadership. However, the authority of women in the Old Testament is not relevant to the issue of pastors in the church. The New Testament Epistles present a new paradigm for God’s people-the church, the body of Christ-and that paradigm involves an authority structure unique to the church, not for the nation of Israel or any other Old Testament entity.

It’s very clear here that most people don’t understand what the specific role of “pastor” is in the church. And of those that do understand, many disregard it completely. How do such people simultaneously claim to uphold scripture while behaving as if they know better? All of Paul’s writings around the structure of a church have been getting thrown away. If your church rejects the authority structures laid out by Scripture, then they are not teaching God’s word. They are teaching modern values and appealing to God’s authority only when it’s convenient.

The church is not a building friend. And there were no modern day "churches" in the 1st centuries. That whole system was set up by Rome. Women are called to prophets so I'm quite sure they can preach. A pastor in the 1st century isn't what it has been known as for 1700 years.

Why would any followers of Christ and the God-breathed Scriptures - who are commanded to love God and his commandments with all their heart, soul and mind - listen to a teacher who is actively, unrepentantly disobeying Scripture every time they attempt to practice teaching you Scripture?

Agreed... but from my limited knowledge of Joyce Meyer, she advertised her conferences as Women's Conferences, not for men (though men were welcome). I also know that she had sought approval from the male pastors if she spoke in a church, and they were present during her talk. I have found her talks hard hitting and she never beat around the bush. People seem to have a problem with her because she made a lot of money, but she also funded a lot of very worthwhile charities with that money. No one is perfect, and I rather suspect that Joyce has been frequently unfairly labelled.
