Peter said women are the weaker vessel. Christian Forums


Should the weaker vessel (women) be preachers or should the stronger vessels (men) be preachers?



When the Holy Spirit enters vessels, even weak ones as He did on the day of Pentecost up till now, He transforms us and endows us with gifts. Therefore, if the Holy Spirit doesn't discriminate, we can't stop Him from using any vessel(women inclusive) as He choses

Sure we can. The Catholic church has a ban on female leaders, I agree with it.

So of course you can and we do.

Amen.

I personal would not go to a church where the pastor was a woman.

I am lead by God not feminism.

By this so-called "logic", when one goes to a church where the pastor is a man, one is led by masculinism and not God.

Regardless of how you define "weaker vessel" that's who God tends to use for his work all throughout scripture vs. those who are the mightiest and the strong. "The greatest becomes the least." If you can't see that, then you are putting your personal prejudices and politics ahead of God.

When you discard half of the human population that God created and declared to be good and in his image, then you cut off half of Christ's body and are not showing evidence of the love of Christ.

So now in response to the comment that we can't stop God from using any vessels he chooses to do his work, you have declared that we certainly can and should put a stop to God's choices and put our own human choices above his whenever we my disagree with him. An example of human pride if I've ever seen one.

What I don't get is when people use the term weaker vessel, why isn't there a correlation with the concept in the bible of weakness being the strength of God in us?

it just does not happen, a shame really.

Well I'm following God and his elect not masculinism. Paul had an appearance experience with Christ, ordaining him an apostle.Pauls early evangelism laid the foundation for the christian church. Paul says women should be silent and have no authority over men.

Peter is arguably the leader of the apostles if the Gospels are accurate and he proclaims woman the 'weaker vessel' to men.

Two of the highest ranking men of Christ condemn women as preachers. So this is not my discriminatory opinion, this is the work of God.

Deny him at your own peril.

Pointing out we do exclude women from priesthood in the original (catholic) church and agreeing with it is prideful?

I don't think so. And all this talk about the holy spirit is a lie because before the spirit even got here our commandments were defined by christ and his elect. Trying to undermine him with the concept of holy spirit intervention is false and not biblical.

Hi guys
1 Timothy 2:11-15 says women should be quiet.

Does it mean that women can't write books about christ or women can't have a youtube channel about bible teachings?

No.
Jesus allowed the woman at the well and Mary Magdalene to tell others the good news.

What if you knew God wanted you there for what you could provide for other of His children that were there?

God does not make mistakes. He would not send a message through his elect/apostles that men (only) should preach and then change his mind.

Peter heard about the resurrection from a woman.

Ok so why do you want to make women pastors?

I don't.
I want people to recognise that God can call whoever he wants to serve him in whatever role he chooses.

They didn't NOT support them.
Read Romans 16 - Paul had female co-workers, whom he commended in their hard work for the Gospel.
I'm not aware that Peter taught anything about female pastors/Ministers.
