Top 10 Church tradition topics and Lies # 6
Women cant preach
This is the hottest, most debatable topic in the Christian community. Why, because the two arguments are both half way true. The believers who say women can’t preach have scripture to back it up and so do the people who say women can preach. It makes it hard for regular guys like us. today we will deal with both sides to find the truth.
Let me start off by saying there is no scripture in the bible that says a women can’t preach. If your well trained in the scripture let me tell you this, drop your guard or you wont see the truth. Either you’ll be with me for half of this teaching and not be with me for the other half, or you’ll just drop your guard and look at the scriptures. So Lets deal with what the bible does say.
Let start off by dealing with why people say they can’t preach.
1 Tim 2:11,12
Let the women learn in silence with all subjection.
I suffer not a women to teach , nor usurp authority over man, but to be in silence.
Ok lets see this scripture for what it says and not for what we want to prove a point.
#1 women are to learn silently in the church meeting.
#2 women are not to teach during the church meeting.
#3 women are not to take (usurp) authority over men.
These are very clear. However most people stretch them beyond what they say. First off , Women are to learn silently with all subjection shows the women responsibility in Church. This is the time to practice submission. How many Churches who don’t support women ministering to you see enforce that? Very little if any. But that is besides the point. When the women learn in silence, they get to ask their husband every thing at home.(1 cor 14:35) This is the true order. It allows the husband to walk as the head of his wife (1cor 11:3) It causes her to submit to him as his wife. If a wife is loud during this time or asking other men questions then she is out of order and not being submissive to her husband. This is the time submit to your husband. I cant change that and you cant either. People try by using excuse about history and culture. But history cant change that either. Look at the reason Paul gave and you’ll see that it was establish since the beginning with Adam and Eve (1tim 2:13,14)
So to recap, in the Church meeting a women is not suppose to teach or preach, for how can she do so if she is learning silently is subjection. However, our view hasn’t changed. Also read 1 cor 14:43 for further clarity.
Ok so seeing that scripture how can you believe that women can preach? Well fist you have to understand that God doesn’t just work with men or women inside of the church meeting. These instructions only apply to the church meeting. Let me prove it.
Women being used to preach, teach , prophesy outside the Church
Acts 18:26
When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching boldly in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of god even more accurately.
Here we see Priscilla along with her husband explaining the gospel more accurately to Apollos. If the same rules applied to her outside the church then she would have had to remain silent as Aquila explained. But it doesn’t so she was able to further Apollos understanding about the topic.
John 5:39
Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman has said, “He told me everything I ever did!”
The Samaritan woman’s testimony of what Jesus told her caused many to believe. The bible says how can they hear with out a preacher. Did she not just announce that Jesus was the Christ. How could they believe this message if no one said it. She was used outside the church in her own village. Many believed because of that women.
Luke 2:36,38
38.Anna ,a prophet, was also there in the temple. She was the daughter of……………………………………38 She came along just as Simeon was talking to Mary and Joseph, and she began praising God. She talked about the child to everyone who had been waiting expectantly for God to rescue Jerusalem.
Notice the prophetess who was used inside the temple. She was not prophesying as what people say traditionally. She began to tell the people about Christ. She began to let those know who had been waiting for God to rescue Jerusalem. Again she is used out side the Church meeting.
Titus 2:4
These older women must train( KJV Teach) the younger women to love their husbands and their children.
Ok look at this scripture. Because women can’t teach in the church meeting when are these older women suppose to teach the younger women? Of course out side of the church meeting. Again we see women being used outside the church.
Judges 4:4
And Deborah a prophetess , the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Deborah was a judge of Israel and was used by God to Prophesy to Barak. As a judge she was a leader of the people of Israel. Again we see her used by God as a leader of the people outside of the church meeting.
2nd chron 34:22
and hilkiah, and they that the kin had appointed, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of Has-rah, keeper of the wardrobe ;(now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college:) and they spake to her to that effect. And she answered them thus saith the lord God of Israel….
Again another Prophetess used by God to tell what thus says the lord.
The lord uses women all over the bible out side the Church. We have to get back to the point where we use are gift everyday and not just on you day of worship. Being used on a daily bases will allow women to flow in their gifts and be submissive at the church meetings.
You cant choose a side when the bible doesn’t. So please see the example of women teaching, explaining, announcing, informing, and prophesying the word of the Lord in the bible. But again do all things decently and in order. There is a time for this ministry to go froward. And a time for it to be held back in order to be submissive.
Get ready,Get ready, Get ready for number 5.Now we will deal with what I call the hidden lies. The first being :the place of Worship ( The Church Sanctuary). See you Later as we deal with
