cartoon preachers but not women
Comics & cartoons preach the Gospel, so why cant human women be preachers?
This meme falsely equates "sharing the gospel" & "preaching in the church" as the same.... It is not the same thing.
Jesus called all believers to go and preach the gospel to the world.
>One is a general command to all believers.
>The other is an official office in church, gifted by God, to men.
One who shares the gospel is a believer. It is a action verb. One who preaches in church is an office, a gifted role in the Church by God, to men...it is a noun. It is a job title. It is a man who has authority over all the congregation to rightly preach the Scriptures. Women are not given that gift by the Spirit, and are not to be in that role....Scripture is clear on that.
Men are only ones given that authority.
NT tells is why it is men, it points to Eden, to the creation order. And in Eden, created order was Man then woman, as a helper and companion. He is to be the authority and protector in the home, and over the woman. His role is above hers because that is how God created/designed it to be.
Woman also was the one who disobeyed God, causing her husband to sin and brought the fall of mankind. She was under her husbands authority but he then "he followed her leadership"causing the fall; he allowed her to do what she shouldn't have done. He should have stopped her. But instead it all was messed up. Had she obeyed her husband when he 1st told her not to, and had he, who was right there with Eve and the servant chatting, had told her not to talk to it, not to listen to it, to trust God and obey, as he has given us everything and only asked 1 thing from us. Had he said to Eve, everything he is offering us, we already have. We are content with what God gave us. Had she listened to her husband and stayed under his authority and protection of safety, and been guided in faith to trust God... she would've obeyed her husband and told satan to kick rocks, better yet, Adam wouldve stood between Eve and it, and said kick rocks, dont talk to my wife.
Meme falsely equates "sharing the gospel" & "preaching in the pulpit" as the same. It is not the same thing.
A woman sharing her testimony or street preacher is not in a pastor role, but a believers role. Preaching the gospel to friends and strangers is not a pastoral role. Nor is it "in the church" and having authority over any/all the men in the church. Teacher over a male Sunday school class, nor as pastor in pulpit over all the men in the congregation.
The Scriptures say "over men". Not over children or other women, (tho men would be the better ones to lead teen & adult SS classes).
Christian moms share the Scriptures, Gospel and truth to their children, (this is not "authority over men in church").
Christian moms also were the educators in the home as men were working while women raised children and babies & cooked and cleaned to keep a home in good order (if they didnt have servants to help).
Paul says Timothy had a “genuine faith,” the same as that which lived in his mother and grandmother (2 Timothy 1:1–5). Eunice and Lois prepared Timothy’s heart to accept Christ by teaching Timothy the Old Testament Scriptures and preparing him “from infancy” to recognize the Messiah when He appeared (2 Timothy 3:15).
