WOMEN as PREACHERS or TEACHERS of Men
Should Women be Preachers in Churches or Teachers over Men? Well let us see what the Bible might say about it.
The broadening desire to follow social trends, in fact, is the reason why fewer and fewer churches remain faithful to God's Word regarding woman preachers in the church. The Bible makes it crystal clear that:
Timothy 2:12-25
"I SUFFER NOT A WOMAN TO TEACH, NOR TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER A 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. Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety."
The reference to Adam and Eve and childbearing, in the above verse, indicates that this command has its genesis way back in the Garden of Eden. After Eve had been deceived by the serpent, God said unto her,
Gen. 3:16.
"I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule thee."
Contrary to the common excuse, therefore, this command has nothing to do with the social custom of the time.
Despite that, more and more church leaders are allowing women to teach adult men or even to pastor churches. WHY?... Because "THEY WOULD RATHER APPEASE SOME SEGMENTS OF THE CONGREGATIONS THAN TO STAY FAITHFUL TO WHAT GOD COMMANDS."
I Corinthians 14:34;
"Let your WOMAN KEEP SILENCE IN THE CHURCHES: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, also saith the law."
PREACHING and/or TEACHING is an OFFICE OF AUTHORITY and THE WOMAN MUST NOT USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MAN.
