    Dear all of you, there is also a difference in speech. I'm think u mixing this up now. See i go to a meeting and a believing lady opens it with one word, a revelation, a parable or something else, a poem, a song. But the word is central is it not?

    Revelations and proper speech are known to men. A word comes to me now. Luke 22 35:38

    Stay blessed in Jesus Name and i love u all in Christ, and never forget The Lord uses those ppl He will. Make sure and be there everyone!

    No. In full agreement with brother Jesse's comments, I would reiterate that the Lord has indeed given abilities & opportunities to both men & women for the Gospel & building up of His Church. It's just when the Church meets together, there is a clear order in assembling together & in ministry. And that order is based on 1 Corinthians 11:3, as Jesse shared.

    Max,

    I am not sure what your stance is on this as you have not said, but I would have to say no. Paul gave instruction on this and Adam has shared a couple of great verses that would tell us that a woman is not allowed to teach in the church. There are also other places in scripture that would disqualify a woman from pastoring a church. If you would like me to share them and discuss them with you, I would be more than happy to do so.

    If a person has already received Jesus Christ, do they go to church to be preached at, or, do they go to be taught the word of God? A pastor should be both a preacher and a teacher. Now, I don't see anything wrong with a woman preaching the gospel message to either men or women. But there is a difference between preaching and teaching. Preaching is for the unsaved, to bring them to Christ, and teaching is for the saved. Once a person is saved, they need to be taught, not preached to.

    The bible is clear that a woman is not to be placed in a position of authority over the man in the church. 1 Corinthians 11:3 gives us the proper order in the Church. It says, "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." So the order is God/Christ/Man/Woman, in that order. In the church, can we change the order by putting the woman ahead of the man?

    In function, the Father is the head of the Son, though they be equal, but different in function. And so it is with men and women. They are equal, but they have different functions and responsibilities. We're talking about God's order. It doesn't have anything to do with saying "You are superior, and you're inferior, so I'm going to put you in charge, and you not in charge." These are functions in the church.

    Max, I would like to hear your thoughts on the question if you don't mind sharing them.

    With the love of Jesus and for the brothers, I have to disagree. There's too many scriptures of Paul naming women who helped him in the ministry. I feel sure that they were not all cooking.

    Jesus didn't say: ok all you men GO YE into all the world. He just said, GO YE.

    It is the Holy Spirit who anoints Believers for Ministry.

    We are certainly living in the times of the Joel chapter 2 prophesy.

    If a individual is anointed, the gift will make room for them to preach and teach.

    I do know there are "Jezebel spirits" out there. We need to ask for discernment from the Holy Spirit so we can spot fakes with NO anointing. Are people being healed, set free, raise the dead?

    Dear Mishael. Just wondering.

    Many christians claim they have instructions by the Spirit of God to do some things for Him. But is it possible that the Spirit tells you to do something that contradicts God's written word? In other words God's oral word to you to be in contrast with His written word to all of us? (So God gives some rules to smd and then some other rules to smd else?) How is that ever possible? In that case nobody can rely on God's written word as there are exceptions from It. How can I then know that God instructed somebody or what to do in each circumstance of my spiritual life if I cannot relay on the written Word because I may be in a case that is an exception from it.? Always wait for a personal message to me? (Maybe then write a new gospel with all possible exceptions included?)

    There would have been a whole mess in that occasion. Nobody could trust anybody, nobody could distinguish anything from anything, nobody could rely on anything. I see many christians have that kind of attidude that often gets them in trouble.

    I don't want to offend you. To be honest I admire you and your life.

    Matthew 15:31

    Insomuch that the multitude wondered, when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see: and they glorified the God of Israel.

    Matthew 11:5

    The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

    Luke 7:22

    Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

    This is proof of the indwelling Holy Spirit and the anointing or the evidence of gifts of the Holy Spirit. I'm going to encourage women to exercise their faith.

    We'll just have to be at peace with our different interpretations.

    Please know that I do not mean to cause any discord here. But I would like to point out that the verses you gave: Matthew 15:31, Matthew 11:5, and Luke 7:22 are not proof of the indwelling Holy Spirit and the anointing or the evidence of gifts of the Holy Spirit. When these words were spoken, the Holy Spirit had not come yet so no one could have had the indwelling Spirit at that time.
