Should women preach ????
1Corinthians 14:34,35 says, "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. And if they will learn anything ,let them ask their husbands at home : for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. The Bible is very clear that God forbids women to preach. This teaching obviously stirs up the wrath of many outgoing talkative women . Sadly , many men are content to sit back and let women defy God's Word by letting prideful women run the church(and the home), and think that they are spiritual for being so "open-minded" about the whole matter. There is another passage that teaches the same thing, 1Timothy 2:11-14 says , "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach , nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence . For Adam was first formed , then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." This passage give two reasons why God forbids women to teach men . First , because of the order of creation. "For Adam was first formed, then Eve ." The second reason is because the woman was easily deceived by the serpent . "And Adam was not deceived , but the woman being deceived was in the transgression". When women lead , there is going to be deception and error. Isaiah 3:12 says "As for my people , children are their oppressors , and WOMEN RULE OVER THEM. O my people , THEY WHICH LEAD THEE CAUSE THEE TO ERR, and destroy the way of thy paths." The Bible makes it very clear that bishops or pastors , (and also deacons), are to be men - not women . 1Timothy 3:1-2 says "This is a true saying ,If a MAN desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the HUSBAND of one wife..." Verse 12 says " Let the deacons be the HUSBAND of one wife .." Are you still intent on disobeying ? Then this same clear Word will one day judge you . John 12:48 say's "He that rejecteth me , and receiveth not my words , hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken , the same shall judge him in the last day." What does God think of churches that allow women to preach ? Hmm..?Well in Revelations 2:20 says "I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess to teach and to seduce my servants.." Don't be deceived by Satan, remember Satan uses many ways to deceive people. Satan couldn't deceive Adam so he used Eve , Satan couldn't get to Sampson so he used Delilah, Satan couldn't get to David so he used Bathsheba, Satan couldn't get to Joseph so he used Potiphar's wife , Satan couldn't get to John the Baptist so he used Herod's wife , Satan has also used Rebekah against her husband Isaac , and Job's wife against Job.
