Should Women be Pastors? | CONTROVERSIAL!!

[@thebeatagp]

So many people have asked about this so here is what I believe the bible teaches. Please provide a HEALTHY and RESPECTFUL comment below! Love ya and let me know your thoughts!

[@chocopurpleluv]

THE BEAT by Allen Parr Thank you!!! As a woman who has recently announced being called into the ministry of preaching, I have greatly wrestled with this. My upbringing is such that women preachers were not allowed at all. However, I knew that the Holy Spirit had guided me into this calling. It 100% was not a calling that I was thinking of doing on my own. No, I am not to be a pastor, at all. A minister? Yes! Thank you for the sound scripture references. God bless you and yours.

[@Viper86leo]

THE BEAT by Allen Parr. l respect and agree.

[@mariansanders117]

THE BEAT by Allen Parr I struggled with this because my grandmother Pastored after my grandfather passed... but when my uncle/ her son "came on over to the Lord's side", she passed it to him and has not interfered with how he has and is currently pastoring. However, according to scripture, I do agree wth this entire video.

The hard thing in the matter is a lot of women have trouble following the word of God and submitting themselves unto their own husbands as unto the Lord. And what that means as unto the Lord, is as long as their husbands are in line with the word of God and leaving her correctly according to the will of God then she can follow up under her husband's leadership which God ordained him to be the man of the home from the beginning of time. And husbands need to love their wives enough to die for them, just like how Christ loved the church enough to DIE for them, and gave HIMSELF for us. Ephesians 5:23 25

[@aliciamcdonald7105]

@@celticmist14 Whether he did or did not is not a reason to cite for why women today cannot be leaders/pastors. Christ was a JEW, followed JUDAISM to a TEE going so far to wait until 30 years before he began his ministry. He did not marry but I don't see anyone using that as reason why a man should not marry today for obvious reasons. The problem today is that MANY MANY people like Mr. Parr and others here have taken Paul's instructions to the church in HIS TIME and made them LAW for our time. In the process they have done a great disservice to the body of Christ and have removed the HOLY SPIRIT as the TEACHER for us today whose job is to LEAD US INTO ALL TRUTH. Clearly there was STILL MORE TRUTH to be revealed after Christ left and I could assure you, there is still MORE TRUTH to be revealed today. See my comment above for more insight on this topic.

saint of jesus Christ I disagree. Some people think they have to say that. There’s a difference. Bcuz people say that men have to be the head all day long but what we actually see happening in life is the opposite. Women are the head and doing everything. While men are doing nothing but chasing their egos, trying to look like strong capable men. So if the man is the head, is only bcuz a woman is casting that illusion, and even then, he is still not the head, bcuz his wife or gf is doing it all. His mother or daughter is doing it all. Women somewhere are doing it all and he is really doing nothing.

Please PRAY about it, if God has given you the gifts of ministry you may be being called by the Holy Spirit to be a pastor. PRAY boldy and use discernment there are plenty of cases in which women have churches as Jesus has disciples. We take the gospels as word of God however the context of the time is that women were not educated equally and therefore the women did not write as men did. However women had churches, were deacons. and scripture even points to how women and men have to have a different role in church because of roman law: 1 Cor 34: 'Women[a] should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.' notice how it is not his Law(mosaic or God'd Law which is capitalized and the government or roman law is not.) I also want to mention some senior pastors who had their own church, Aquila and Prisca.

[@willcarruth3951]

My sister, if God has called you to Pastor you are a pastor whether you want to or not. If you don’t do it you’re being disobedient. Now with that being said, what would that look like for you? It means God has placed people in your life that he wants you to minister to. It doesn’t have to consist of a formal platform. When you open your mouth, that spot where you stand becomes the pulpit. It may be for a season and a reason God chose you to pastor/mentor those few. That’s what pastoring is. God bless

I’ve come to find that those that believe a woman can pastor say the same, it is “our”opinion that a woman can pastor and that your missing some of the history as to what the Apostle Paul was really saying about a woman’s role in the church. Unfortunately what has happened is feminism and progressive (ism) has taken a foot hold in quite a few denominations. The Apostle Paul takes it all the way back to the garden of Eden, Adam being formed first and then Eve being created from his rib and so on... It is very difficult to reach those that believe a woman can pastor even men that ordain or allow women to pastor, you cannot reason with them even with the Bible and it’s immediate context and the cannon of scripture as a whole. Anyhow great job Allen! Have a blessed day!

You agreed with a S-xist B-tch. I think thats 'The Fire Place' for ya.

[@nycosplayernetworkcospodbe5265]

I can use that same garden of eden story. Man was created first. He was given the word first. He was suppose to protect first. Eve was created second. The serpent came to the younger one spiritually. Adam stood by and allowed his wife to be decieved, then when busted by God, he blamed both God and the woman. Thus the reason women were encouraged to learn the word of God deeply, and why when no man is willing to do God's work properly, God will use a Woman. Oh and God did not use a man to create His Son. Now once you all move past the SOT (sex organ theology), then some of the stupidity and apostasy many Male leaders have allowed to creep up in the garden, can start to be destroyed with the help of wise and learned women.

My first response to this "controversy" is that the Bible is VERY CLEAR about our role in loving others, so if is person's response is vitriolic about this issue, they should really look at themselves and fix that issue before anything else. Second, if a person does think this is wrong, don't attend or support that church/YTchannel/WS and PRAY that the HOLY SPIRIT will convict hearts if necessary. And move on to those Biblical commands that are CLEAR. Going to those in need of salvation through Jesus Christ kinda comes to mind....:)

[@brojoe3909]

Actually, the position of senior pastor is not even scriptural. The bible states clearly that there are to be more than one elder leading the flock. ELDERS SHOULD SHEPHERD GOD’S FLOCK. (Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:2.) The word “shepherd” is the same as “pastor.” The work of pastoring is shared by the elders. It is impossible for one man to adequately pastor a church this large. The ministry of pastoring involves doing what a shepherd does for his sheep: He knows them (John 10:14); he leads them (John 10:3-4); he feeds them and guides them into the rich pastures of God’s Word (John 10:9; 1 Thess. 5:12; Titus 1:9; Heb. 13:7); he guards them from wolves (John 10:12; Acts 20:29-30); he seeks the lost and straying sheep and helps heal their wounds by getting them restored to the Lord (John 10:16; Ezek. 34:4-5); he corrects the erring or rebellious (2 Tim. 4:2); he equips the flock for maturity so that they can serve the Lord as He has gifted them (Eph. 4:11-16).

[@qde2130]

I noticed in the video he kept using the term senior pastor. So I don't think he is exclusively referring to one person but a team. But either way it's clear from the scriptures he presented the roles of men and women on this topic.

God has set a standard of order and an example with Adam and Eve the man Adam came/was first with or before Eve arrived that is the order and standard that we are under. not to say that a woman cannot teach she is to teach biblically to save the soul and bring to salvation that soul. like Priscilla and Aquilla but not to Shepard Gods people. if we even look at the examples of Shepards in the bible they are men that Shepard a flock or herd of people the congregation. that's the example that we have it not a position where the example or roles changes if it where God would have had it written in the Bible to tell us or show us. he has vision and fore sight. and his vision did not and has not changed we like to make things comfortable for us. even though a woman may have the gift of spreading the word she is not the Pastor of the flock of God. if she is and or was God would have told us so or had given us examples. men where sent out to lead and grow the church in the new testament

When the shepherd over Israel died, the people went back into sin. That is because the Judge was the most important spiritual leader of this time period.

There is absolutely no where in the bible where in the bible where a women was a pastor, bishop, elder apostle or evangelist. Some women can preach much better than a man but we shouldn't go against God because she draws the crowd and the money.

Hello Bro. Allen. I know this is an old video but since I'm just seeing it, it's new to me. I've had this questions several times when I taught theology at a Christian College in Memphis, TN. I had several for and against responses. I had men and women preachers and pastors in my class and this one topic every semester almost brought some people to blows. My response then and is now is that the scriptures say "the wages of sin is death". And since we are all called to be "salt" and "light" (all of us, not just pastors) and encouraging people to turn from sin, there's no place in the old or new testament that states that listening, serving or being a church member of a woman pastor a sin. Yes the scriptures are very male centric with the masculine pronouns but does it say it's a sin? It does not. As you stated, this is "your" opinion. My opinion is that of the thousands of people who attend churches pastored by women, I just don't think they are going to hell because a woman encouraged them in the name of the Lord and has the title of Pastor.

Thank you for speaking on this! Even as a young girl, I have been able to recognize the need for a man or boy in leadership. Last school year, I was accepted to be a leader in my school's Bible Study. Since only girls requested to be in the leadership, there were only girls. I feel like I should have asked to be the primary leader because the one who was the primary was very emotion-driven. She contradicted the Bible in the Bible Study sessions several times. The other girl and I probably only talked once about it. I regret never telling our sponsor or confronting her but it really opened my eyes to the need for a guy in leadership and I respect it a lot more now. Yet, my mom stated how God could use a woman if He wanted to and I don't doubt it. Like in the scenario of how no guys wanted to be in the Bible Study leadership, the girls had to step up.

My dear Victoria, don't be afraid nor shy to jump into leadership because you are a woman. That idea that only men should be leading is dying. Whereas the traditional family setting idolize the presence of men in the house as the leader, some (not all) men nowadays are just coward and irresponsible (that's a verifiable fact). We are living in a fatherless society and regardless the roots of the issue, we can't expect men to take the reign as they used to before. Just the fact that your parents are harder on you compared to your brother because you are a woman will make you a more responsible citizen. The fact that there are more women at church compared to men, I don't want a man to teach me about period or menopause, things that he will never experience. The Bible should be read with context and applied with a revelation of the Holy Spirit.

I'd rather sin by attending a church led by a pious woman than a church led by a man who lust after his female congregants. Same thing in the household: all women don't want to be the boss, it's because some Christian men don't even read and know the Bible to teach their family anything.

Thanks for your presentation, Allen. I love your systematic breakdown of the topic and how easy your thoughts were to follow. I wish that all the sermons we heard were as easy as this to follow. And you gave so much detail in just over ten minutes, much more than we often hear in a dozen sermons. But I have some thoughts contrary to some of what you said. I hope no-one thinks I am bashing by disagreeing. One of the reasons why the NT does not show women in pastoral roles, and it is also the main reason why Jesus did not call women as Apostles, was that in that day women just did not have those roles. There are other people he did not call to be Apostles, like Gentiles. For the credibility of His mission as it started he chose a particular culture and was going to transform the lives of many beginning with that culture. The ministry would have been dead in the water if he started out with practices that the common person in the day saw as offensive as having Gentile or Women leaders. Paul seems to utilize the same strategy in the NT in some places, like in Ephesians 5 - 6. When he appeals to the household order (Men, Women, Children, Slaves) he is not using a hierarchy created by God but by Aristotle who lived centuries before him. In such an understanding of the order men held absolute power in the household and prescribed duties for the others to follow. What is interesting here is that in each couplet the Apostle mentions (Husband - Wife, Parents - Children, Masters - Slaves) he puts the greater emphasis on the man as to what is prescribed by God for him. He does this very smartly, because if he merely addressed the man without speaking to the responsibilities of the others in the household, the teaching would be summarily rejected. But Paul's strategy was planting a bug in the age-old system of oppressive relationships that gave the man the power to do as he liked. By ordering a new class of relationship, and if the man (and others) complied, then the world would be a better place. It is a fantastic missionary strategy he used with Philemon, to accept again his runaway slave, Onesimus, instead of having him put to death as the law of the land required. By accepting him as a brother Philemon fulfilled the law of the love of Christ and did not go against the law of the land. Onesimus went on to become Bishop of Byzantium. I totally agree with you that Paul was dealing with a local matter in 1 Corinthians 14. But what was that matter? The Corinthians, particularly the Jewish Christians there, were insisting on Rabbinical Law that kept women silent in religious gatherings. In 14:34-35 Paul quotes from the letter he received from the household of Chloe, as he does elsewhere in the book, and then rejects it. "What, did the word of God come to you? We have no other practice in any of the other congregations?" Nowhere else were they silencing women because this would have been going against the nature of the Gospel as outlined in Galatians 3:28. Then there is the 1 Timothy 2 passage. Paul there is speaking to a local situation in Ephesus of a "Christian Cult" appealing to women to take charge over their situations, even if it means reversing traditional roles of the family. False teachers had wormed there way into the homes of weak-willed women (not all women) and gained control of them (2 Timothy 3:6). Many of the elements of that cult were destructive to the family and particularly to the Christian witness in the community. In such circumstances Paul appeals to the account of Adam and Eve to show what happens when the woman tries to act independently of the man. He appeals to the same story two other times in the NT and in each case he makes a different point. In Romans 5 Adam is the culprit who plunges all humanity into sin, perhaps because he was not deceived. In 2 Corinthians 11:3 he refers to the story but places all the blame on the serpent, though he does say that Eve was deceived. If the passage is teaching that women should not teach men because women are easily deceived then why should they teach other women or children? The admonition here that women should learn in silence is an admonition to anyone (man, woman and child) who wants to teach while possessing a spirit of superiority and irreverence for the things of God. Such is not compatible with the attitude God desires for His servants who will be leading others One last point - appealing to the way I feel is not "logics" but an appeal to emotions. You asked your viewers not to do that, but in various parts of the presentation you did just that.

In Rom 16:1-16, Paul greets by name ten people he identifies as colleagues in Christian ministry. Seven of the ten are women: Phoebe, “deacon of the church of Cenchrea” (16:1) and “leader16 of many, including myself” (16:2); Junia, “outstanding among the apostles” (16:717); Prisca, “my fellow worker in Christ Jesus” (16:3; cf. Phil 4:3); and Mary, Tryphaena, Tryphosa, and Persis “worked hard in the Lord” (16:6, 12). First Corinthians 16:16 urges believers “to be subject to every fellow laborer.” First Thessalonians 5:12 identifies “those who labor among you” as “those who are over you in the Lord.” It cannot be stressed enough that Paul is not simply listing these women as believers, but as ministry leaders. Paul greets many believers in this passage, but describes as ministry leaders only ten people, and seven of those are women. The three men are Aquila, Andronicus, and Urbanus. The first two are listed with their wives, highlighting their shared authority. Paul’s naming such a high proportion of women leaders in an open society is unparalleled in the entire history of ancient Greek literature and suggests a level of female leadership in the early church exceptional for its culture.

That's amazing she led you to Christ and many others. That is a mandate by God regardless of gender. However the "office" of pastor is for men and men only. She would be to also teach you and others that she cannot hold the office of Pastor, but she can exercise her gifts of the spirit. Titus 1:5-9 and really close attention verse 16. Go back to the fall Genesis 3 and understand why God created order. This is not a man versus woman or men or better than women, this is a God in His holiness giving us roles and responsibilities in HIS kingdom. I hope your husband is saved and both of you are in the Word of God. I will be praying for you in your walk. (Please note this is said in a conversation tone, not argumentative.)

[@garythompson7930]

Shalom beloved one, I think you did a fantastic job supporting how you view this subject, but I would like to appeal to some things that may need to be adhered to. One of the more important things here is culture. You told us not to appeal to culture, but culture is one of the principles of exegesis. Also, God operates within the confinement of a particular people group. Also you keep mentioning "senior pastor" as we know this phrase is not biblical but cultural. We know that congregations were shepherded by not just one person but by many people i.e. elders. I believe this argument comes down to conviction! If a congratulation believes (from how they view the scripture) that women can join their leadership in guiding the community by the Spirit then beautiful. On the other hand, if another congregation believes differently then so be it. Neither of the two are sining. The most important thing here is what Paul mentioned in Roman's 8:14 "be lead by the Spirit". I love you beloved one keep up the work. Shalom

The same reason a man would. God calls everyone to serve him, if we don't do it, who will? Christianity is all about your relationship and connection with God, it's not based by gender at all. Which ever way you choose to serve God, he supports you. No where does it say women can't preach, or men have to preach. It's based on the male led society in thoes days, that's why we assume men have to lead the church.this is really based on the fact that can women preach to men? Because in the video, the man gave an example she can preach over the children's church, or a live session, etc. But not in a senior pastor church or congragation. So what is it? Can women preach , but not to men, or is it that women can't preach at all? until God himself a says women can't preach, that's when I'll change my mind. God gives both men and women gifts to serve him in any way and if thoes gifts happen to be to preach, so be it.

God has order and gives specific orders in the Bible, however he never mentioned that women should not preach.

Ok if women should be silent, then how come women can preach in children's churches, that's contradictions your own words!!!!!

I am a Christian and have been in leadership prior to coming to our current church and I agree with what you are saying. We are in a church now that we love and recently changed hands to a female Pastor who has been in the church for a while. She is a wise woman, well educated, very humble and loving and we love her and her family. She has also been through the ringer and treated poorly by men in the church but handled it biblically though it hurt her. But my husband and I have said just about everything you have said and even the same scripture was brought up in Galatians to justify a female pastor and the OT women as well. We said the same thing as you did, but to no avail. It's hard because we do love this woman and she definitely has a gift of bringing the word to people but we have to stay with the Word. My point I gave is that if the church teaches the biblical order of God, and we are to follow that order AND follow the church as our example, then how can a woman be the head of the church yet she cannot be the head of her home. That is confusing. She cant say "I feel called to be the head of my home" and go for it. You cant do the same in church. The enemy's goal is to do opposite of God and that means reversing the order especially in the church. We see it in our society and it's in the church.

Thank you brother Allen! I agree that women are allowed to serve in the church being in submission to God and the church leadership. However I wish to add this. When I worked in Singapore , I attended a church which had a female senior pastor, she was an American who lived in Singapore for decades and helped establish this megachurch. She was just excellent, so powerful in her messages, and a wonderful godly leader. She was an excellent example for all women, especially us younger females in the way she dressed with such modesty, in her passion for God and His people and her humility, she had a warm,caring personality. She trained the younger Singaporean pastors, and many years ago she left the church and a male senior pastor was appointed. When I lived in Beijing, I worked for a huge international church which had an American senior elder, a male - who was so difficult to work with, he gave the impression that he disapproved of non American women, I did not feel shepherded by this man, he treated me with disapproval and anger, everyone used to complain about him even his sermons lacked depth. So I think it may in some cases depend on the character and personality of female leaders in the church, their heart , passion for God and commitment to honor God and His Word- women like Paula White have absolutely no business in church leadership. But as a woman, I submit to Gods Word and choose to honor His Word. Personally, I have never had any desire to be a pastor of a church, I love building relationships with people and encouraging them, praying with them, one on one.
