Hallo

i attend a conservative Pentecostal church and last sunday didn`t we have any services.
So i went to another service at a Pentecostal church with a female preacher.
What are you opinions on this for and against?

Timothy chapter 2 verses 11-12 says
11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness.

12 I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent.

Happy new year to all God bless

I am truly over it! We really have to stop treating women as subordinates. Who delivered the news to all the Apostles that "He has risen"? A woman. So clearly our Lord has no problem with a woman delivering a message for the Kingdom. Additionally, the early Christians had no preachers, they were people spreading the Gospel. That being said, many preachers today have devistatingly veered from the true Gospel, maybe a woman can get it back on track.
Just my thoughts on the matter.
Blessings

For me, it is a question of what authority does Paul's instruction to a church have to other churches a couple of thousand years later? It is not like this was chiseled into a stone by God and carried down from Mt. Sinai. Remember, there was a time when Paul differed with the church in Jerusalem and was called back to give an account of his position on circumcision and rules for Gentile Christians. The Bishop of my diocese has different instructions for churches than does the neighboring Bishop. Neither Bishop expects their instructions to apply to all Christendom in all places for all time.

Female preachers are more common in pentecostal churches, maybe try baptist.

Hello!

Actually it was.

(1 Corinthians 14:34) the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says.

God Bless and Happy New Year to you. :)

You surprise me, Maria, at your contra-Biblical thinking.

Is this really Maria Billingsley?

I'm in favor of women preachers/pastors.....................as long as they don't also bring an ultra-liberal, socialist theology with them into the pulpit.

I think Peter and Paul would agree with me.

To be expected. Protestantism started their free for all 500 years ago, and then the American variety said "hold my beer" 200 years ago and just does whatever on a church by church basis. There's a solution for that. Come home.

It most certainly DOESN'T prohibit women IF we know the fuller cultural and historical background of Ephesus in which Pastor Timothy was working and for which Paul advised him to administrate.

Clare........................we've been through this before. Let's not repeat the arguments yet again.

It's not about the fuller cultural and historical background of Ephesus, for Paul grounds his prohibition in the principle (timeless order) established at creation (1 Tim 2:13-14).

It most certainly IS about the fuller cultural background of what was present among pagans in Ephesus at the time that Timothy was there.

The Bible most certainly wasn't written in a vacuum, and because this is the case, reading the Bible by itself isn't enough to more fully understand what Paul was addressing and why.

Can you show that to me in Leviticus or elsewhere in the Old Testament that women should keep silent in church?

That's a dodge. . .of 1 Tim 2:13-14.

That's a dodge. . .

Actually, I'm the one with the additional evidence. You have no additional evidence outside of the Bible itself, so it is YOUR response here that is the "dodge."

Who made that rule?

I also have no evidence of the virgin birth outside the Bible itself.
so it is YOUR response here that is the "dodge."
You're still dodging the biblical principle in which Paul grounds his teaching (1 Tim 2:13-14), making it authoritative to all the church.

Yes, the Bible is my authority. . .including 1 Tim 2:12-14.

A church that has a female pastor lives in a rebellion, and there will be horrible consequences if they do not repent.

Nowadays, more and more churches allow sin in their church. They go against the Word of God because they think they know better. God called unfaithful Israel a prostitute in OT, wonder what He calls unfaithful church.

Delivering Gospel and teaching men are two different things. A woman is not permitted to teach or have authority over man. Why can't people just stick to the Word of God. We know what happened to Israel when they were doing that, the church who lives in a rebellion will have the same fate.
