Okay I know' we have talked about this for years on this board. And for those here who knows me' knows that I am okay with women preaching the Word of God. If God calls them who are we to stand in the way. But anyway here is Joyce Meyer on the subject and I agree with her. 100%.
Should Women Preach In The Church ❃Joyce Meyer❃
 
Just as God knew what sex Joyce is He knew the times would be what they are today when He had Paul write what He did... Spreading the gospel sharing the good news ...we are all to do as women does not clash with what Paul wrote
 
It has been clear to me for many years that God does call certain women to spread the Gospel. And I also believe that Paul was talking to the culture of that time.

And Paul had many women spreading the Gospel in that time.
The Samaritan woman was doing that in a way, she didn't have the full message but no one did yet.

Joyce started out with just a ministry directed to women. Men chose to listen to her message of overcoming all things in Christ.

Yup :thumbsup
 
I think women can do important stuff in the church, but I don't know about full on pastor. Joyce Myer's ministry is what I'd call "para-church," you know? Outside church, to supplement it. One reason I think Paul had issues with women preaching is that men naturally are more aggressive+assertive than women, and having a female pastor might make the church leadership less respected, with more conflict.

Kind of like...I think Paul said women are to submit to their husbands because that's usually how things work out anyway. Christians weren't trying to turn women in door mats; they were trying to set reasonable ground rules for behavior and actually gave women more status, both in marriage and in the church, than they had in the surrounding culture. Christians from the od school recognize men and women as different (complementary), but equal. Christian equality isn't about same-ness and erasing gender differences; rather, its about creating an environment in which both sexes can contribute, taking into account the features of maleness and femaleness.

Kind of a ramble, but...yeah. That's what I think.
 
Joyce teaches you how to live and tackle everyday life, and that is the kind of ministry that God ordained her to do.

Yes, she has a ministry, not a church.

A ministry can be understood as a particular focus within the Christian faith. Like an evangelistic ministry, or a helps ministry. A church on the other hand has all the functions operating within it and it is headed by a pastor(s)/ elders(s).
 
Should Women Preach ?

Preaching is not teaching. I see the prohibition against women teaching in an authoritative kind of role like in a pastor/teacher type of calling over the entire family of God.

I do not know of a prohibition against women heralding the gospel (preaching).

Joyce is a teacher, not a preacher. She is prohibited from being a pastor, not from being a teacher, or a preacher.

I don't believe it's a cultural thing. Verses 13 - 14 will always remain the same regardless of the culture.


1 Timothy 2
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission.
12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

by the lord. 2 timothy has been quoted.not that my pastor would agree but I do see it that way. my demonation say they cant be a deacon."if any Man seeks the office of a deacon let him be a man of one wife"

hmm joyce a deacon? ok well she would have to be man first.

Paul (speaking on behalf of the Lord).

He does not allow a woman to be in teaching leadership (pastor/teacher--arguably one office, not two) over a man--no more than a man is over Christ in the order of authority God has established.
 
1 Corinthians 11
3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

I all ready know what the Bible says about it guy's. I thought Jethro had something else. So let me get this straight if a woman preaches you guy's would get up and walk out ?
