Does the Word of God lose it's power or truth when spoken through a women's lips instead of a man's?Interesting to read this thread and see people rooting for women to be leaders and teachers. I have beena christian for 66 years now and when I was a young christian, men were men and women were women. Men did certain things in the church and they did a really good job. Also women did certain things in the church and they did a really good job.
I don't remember a single woman complaining about the role they played in the church or complain about the role men played in the church.
I remember Mr. Parker the local milk delivery man who ALWAYS was at the door greeting people and giving them hymn books. He was perfect for the job because he had such an infectious smile. Did the women complain? NO.
I remember the pastor/minister was always a man. Did the women complain. NO.
The leader of the women's ministry was always a woman. Did the men complain? NO.
The minister's secretary was always a woman. Did the men complain? NO.
THe leader of the Sunday School was either a man or a woman. Did either complain? NO.
I could go on with all sorts of ministry. So what made the rot set in? From my observations and recording the rot set in when the jezebel spirit took over control of churches and denominations. More and more women said "Why not me" They chose to ignore scripture and claim what wasn't theirs to claim.If God is not annointing there is no point in appointing. Since the jezebel has taken over the church has ground to a halt and become a shell of its former self.
Women have achieved what they wanted but at what cost? There is no substitute for the purity of the word of God. When you compromise that everything else is brought into question. Now they are ordaining homosexuals. Now they are ordaining lesbians. Now they are ordaining transgenders. Next they will be ordaining pedophiles. Next the church will nothing more than one great big social conglomerate and God won't get a look in.
Summing up, the church is in rebellion. They have replaced the word of God with the word of man and woman and more woman than man. When you drive with a flat tyre you are eventually going to crash. Is that what you want because that is what is going to happen if we don't mend our ways. If we don't proclaim the gospel of God rather than the gospel of man we are up the creek without a paddle.
The church committed it's biggest act of rebellion when they stopped establishing the 5 administrations of ministry that God established.
Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers.
You are so concerned about women preaching instead of rejoicing that people are hearing the Word of God.
And obviously, those who attend a church that has a woman pastor are happy with it.
In my church both Billy Jo and Sharon were ordained pastors of the Church.
And it was the best church I have ever attended.
