Women Preachers

Women preachers?
Progressives say women can be pastors, but God has said otherwise. It is usually because of lack of biblical knowledge, or flat out downright rebellion against God that a woman will desire or claim women can be pastors (and might even try to be one).

Nowhere the Bible tells of a woman leading the men in the church homes in the NT.  I'm not talking about using a woman's home, nor a woman hosting people and feeding them or serving in some manner. You cannot find a reference nor a teaching for such claim because there is none.

Of course God used women and still does. But context and history are only part of God's Word. The Scripture is very explicit in explaining who does the actual leading in terms of pastoring, and the other positions of authority, and WHY. 

The problem with churches allowing women to take roles God has only given to men, it is 1. Rebellion against God and 2. historically started (in the 20th century) because of that particular church began holding a low view of Scripture. So it is no surprise they allow culture and feelings [pagan beliefs of the sinful unsaved] to dictate... instead of holding to God & Truth. 

If someone accepts women as pastors because they don't care what the Bible teaches or think [God] the Bible got it wrong on that point, so... they are naturally going to do the same with other doctrines. It is a reason we now have only 37% of pastors who hold a biblical worldview, and the 2022 state of the church research showed fewer pastors even uphold the authority of Scripture as God's Word. This is a huge problem. Bad, sinful or unsaved pastors are teaching false information based on feelings & opinions vs the authority; Scripture on the matter(s) to God's sheep and the new or weak know no better. 

What has God actually said, what does Scripture teach, what do we need to know and submit to? 

We cannot pick and choose which words to accept in the Bible. As believers we must accept God's Word as the authority, plan, and not allow ourselves to feel defensive because you havent studied the Bible enough to understand God's reasoning for things yet. 

A lot of women get put out by terms like submission and verses about who God uses for what. In the purity of His Word, we are all exalted. We are all lifted to God through Jesus. We all have roles. 

 For hundreds of years, women have sought out "equality" and it hasn't stopped at the job site or the paycheck. Some women have an attitude of discontent that God has somehow deemed women less than men. Not true. He gave women things that men could never have, nor understand. It is what makes a relationship between men and women whole. 

But to contend that a mistake was made in the Bible about our responsibilities as Christians women, because of some excuse like context or history, or modern culture is actually rebellious and blasphemous. I am in NO position as a woman or as a Christian to say to God that He didn't figure this it all out "rightly". Are you? Let's not be like Satan in the garden and play with God's Word so we can get our way.

What has God actually said, what does Scripture teach, what do we need to know and submit to?
