There is no biblical evidence of women pastors in the church period. Women however played a roll most definitely but if we are sticking to the scriptures no evidence anywhere.

[@atestring1379]

Dwight McKissic stands solely on scripture God's word is law!

[@canadiankewldude]

@@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. Heb 13:9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; *_God Bless_*

[@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.

[@EthanRHolden]

*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.

You just summed up my observations as well. I think Mckinssic (Is that how it is spelt?) came to the table thinking having separate roles for the different genders means “abusing” and “oppressing” them. The difference cannot be more stark, Mckinnsic thinks that Ascol is in sin and is preaching over him. Ascol is expecting a debate but what he got was a sermon.

I remember before ending our conversation he informed me about his upcoming debate with Tom Ascol and asked if I had any resources that would help better buttress his position.

This was a grave error on the part of my kinsmen according to the flesh to give women the opportunity to teach the word of God and preach the gospel when the assembly has come together in the name of equality. 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.

For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church. Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached? If anyone thinks that he is a prophet, or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the Lord. If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. So, my brothers, earnestly desire to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues. But all things should be done decently and in order. 1 Corinthians 14:33‭-‬40 ESV bible.com/bible/59/1co.14.33-40.ESV

what roles? The church supports women who go to the mission field to preach the gospel or even stand on the sidewalk handing out tracts and telling others of the good news. But when a woman steps inside the church to preach the exact same message she is labeled a heretic, rebellious, disobedient. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is a muslim society and culture not Christian.

Matthew 6:5-15 The Model Prayer 5 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the [b]hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you [c]openly. 7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. 8 “Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him. 9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. 10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us this day our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. 13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. [d]For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. 14 “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

That last comment of “it’s ok for women to preach to people of color around the world, they just can’t preach to white men here” was so distasteful and disgusting. What was he trying to achieve with that? 😮He lost all respect with that closing statement. That being said, Lottie Moon or any missionary females sharing the gospel, to women or men for that matter doesn’t go against 1 Timothy, because the are sharing the gospel, not pastoring a church of believers. There’s a huge difference. The instructions are for within church structure and the local church gatherings are supposed to be geared to discipling, not for sharing the gospel to nonChristians. In the church corporate structure men are to head the churches and to the teaching (discipling). Women can teach (disciple), but not over men. By simply sharing the gospel outside of the corporate church to a man or men, a woman isn’t going against these instructions as she wouldn’t be doing so to other believers. If she planted the seed, and God allows it to sprout, then her responsibility is to direct that man or those men to a corporate church that teaches sane doctrine, so he can be discipled by men.

Pastor Mckissic gave a good, albeit not biblically founded, lecture for his position. His skills as an orator were incredibly impressive. But in his closing statement when he equated not allowing women to preach from the pulpit on the Lord's Day with racism ("When we allow it overseas...but don't allow it here, practically what we are saying is it's alright for a woman to preach to people of color all over the world they just can't preach to white men over here.") he lost all credibility he had earned in the debate. I was hoping that Pastor Ascol would not let that one slip by but it went without recognition. Overall, good debate but it in no way benefited Pastor Mckissic's position.

I think that Pastor Ascol was in fact right not to engage with the closing statement remarks of Pastor Mckissic. According to basic debating rules, The closing statement is not a rebuttal time. You're not supposed to offer new arguments for your position during this time, but rather to summarize your position and your refutation of the opponents arguments for the audience. Bringing up fresh arguments at the last moment is unfair for the other side, since there is no opportunity to rebuttal.

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)

Dwight Mckissic is, I'm sure, a gifted preacher. I am disappointed that he seems to value cultural norms and trends more than Scripture. I need not elaborate. Tom Ascol did an excellent job.

Recently, he has disassociated with the SBC of Texas over CRT and has affirmed that the ecstatic gifts have not ceased. I think he would be more comfortable in the Pentecostal movement. Baptist Faith and Mission 2000 is a biblically based statement that defines the SBC. If a pastor can't accept it, he should break away with no hard feelings on either side. We need to be who we believe God wants us to be, boldly. Accommodation always leads to compromise.
