Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
And yet Paul wrote letters to the church for instruction!

You have obviously led a sheltered life if you have never been in a church gathering where the Holy Spirit moves in a woman to bring a word to the fellowship of believers, and by so doing brings a person to repentance and salvation.I am talking about the rules inside the church as prescribed by inspiration by the Holy Ghost!
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
Brethren, always includes male and female, because no Scripture speaks of Sistren.
There is no way any honest person can read the Bible and believe women are forbidden to prophecy and minister to others, including men.
And so, like all Scripture, it must be interpreted with the Spirit and by the letter of other Scripture, so that there be no contradiction of Scripture.
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.
This has nothing to do with church buildings, but with women speaking in the churches of God, which is the body of Christ.
And so, speaking in sacred and hallowed church buildings, is nothing in sight of God even as no building made with hands: this has everything to do with women admonishing and ministering and prophecying correction to others by the Scriptures:
And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
Prophesy is with power of God by the Scriptures to correct, admonish, and rebuke with authority of God.
And since women were not only prophets, but also are only restricted inn prophesying by having their heads covered, then we know women can correct, admonish, and rebuke others in the Lord, including men.
And so, this not about sacrosanct church buildings, nor even about women speaking to minister, but is all about puffed up little lords, that use the letter of Scripture to justify their pompous potentatism.
I have no respect for a woman who blindly follows a fool of a man into a ditch, nor for any man that cannot be corrected by Scripture, just because a women spoke it.
I'm not going to let any woman tell me what to do, without a badge and/or gun, (and even then with gritted teeth), but I have no problem with anyone, male or female, correcting me by Scriptural truth, because I am not obeying the speaker, but the One speaking from above:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
The same idiot men, that forbid women ministering, aka correcting by Scripture, are always the same idiots that do whatever a ministerial ruler tells them to do as a god over them. That is a fact. And their lordly dominion over their wives is nothing but a pathetic compensation for their slavish obeisance to their idolized 'rulers' of the church: Cult.
My wife once refused to go along with my great plan, and I begrudgingly did not do it without here, so that I was later able to see the shipwreck that did not happen.
Even in the military, no soldier is compelled to obey an unlawful order, which includes Scripture for the churches of God:
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
And the Charge of the Lite Brigade is not a poem applauding foolish submission to the letter without the Spirit.
I honestly did not expect any fool to come out here and actually defend to the letter: Women do not speak to minister, and then to actually apply it to a church building, so that entering the doors, women must shut up.
And so, in these last days, we have another cult to add, as though we needed more: the cult of the blind and dumb. Men are ministerially blind and women are ministerially dumb.
CIMBAD: Cult of the Ministerially Blind and Dumb.
I believe it's you who do not understand Scripture. What are you going to do with the following Scripture:
1 Corinthians 11:1-3 reads:
1) Be ye followers of me as I also am with Christ.
2) Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3) But I would have you know,
a) that the head of every man is Christ
b) and the head of the woman is the man
c) and the head of Christ is God
Are you going to dismiss the word of God, above?
[QUOTE="robert derrick, post: 1310278, member: 10263"]Since this is not about church buildings, but about women ministering and correcting men in the faith, then we see the hypocrisy of them that say no women should minister and correct men:
What we are seeing is less and less about speaking in a church building, or even about ministering, but more and more about blockheaded dictators that won't be corrected by any woman, which also means by most other men as well.I personally don't think that it is that much of a high honor or postion for women to be speaking in churches or similar institutions now days anyway.
Particularly the churches that we are hearing about today, in this season and at this hour. I have met many women leaders and ministers (and men) doing mighty things for God outside the church. Those who have their own ministeries and who are not hindered by doctrine or church ettiquette and have their own ministry team and also followers of Christ.
Is this the new BoC? It is certainly a place where people are growing and souls are being saved for the kingdom of God. People are being delivered, healedin extrodinary ways. The Holy Spirit is moving freely along with the prophetic voice and there is a crocus growing once again in the desert landscape / the rose of Sharon...
Just a reminder: The Church is not the building nor is it the system it uses to function in an orderly way. Nor is it the doctrine it confesses. The Church is the body of believers in which Christ is the head....

Glory!What we are seeing is less and less about speaking in a church building, or even about ministering, but more and more about blockheaded dictators that won't be corrected by any woman, which also means by most other men as well.
We are seeing on display the dictatorships and underlings of dictatorships, who will only listen to those with rule over them, and who will not tolerate any hint of correction by their underlings.
I have seen this both in cultish ministry and bureaucratic military: both are destructive to others under their authority first, and then to themselves in the end.
If you want to see a comical version of it, then watch James Cagney in Mr. Roberts. If you want to see it in real life, Just take a look at Hitler. His greatest downfall was becoming less and less correctable, so that no general would dare do so unto the final destruction.
All we have to do is to see their dug in response to the letter of the law, after the absurdity of their law is made absurd.
Can a woman speak in a church? No, hand signals only.
I mean, instead of clarifying their doctrine to avoid the absurd, they actually respond seriously to it. I.e. they agree!
They know not what spirit they are of, and no doubt would want Jesus to reign fire down out of heaven upon the rebellious women that dare to speak in their church buildings.
And so, we see it is not about church buildings nor the ministry of Christ: it is all about their buildings and their ministries.
Neither is it about God's headship in marriage, but is all about their headship in their marriage over their wives.
They are not one in marriage: they are one above the other in their marriage.
They are not one in marriage: they are one above the other in their marriage
Until you respond to points made, rather than just regurgitate your learned mantra, I have nothing more to do with you.That's what God has declared, not I.
1 Corinthians 14:34-38; 40 reads:
34) Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted onto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35) And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in a church.
36) What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?.
37) If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38) But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
40) Let all things be done decently and in order.
Don't shoot me or call me deafly stupid, I'm only a messenger.
If you do not want to believe the above Scriptures, then it is to your shame and not mine.
To God Be The Glory
