Women in Church

"Then Peter opened [his] mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons" (Acts 10:34).

Has absolutly nothing to do with this conversation. Waste of time typing.

If me and my beliefs can't be respected better than this, I guess I won't be typing on this forum anymore.

I would hate to waste anyone's time.

Blessings to you all.

Well we know who is one of the most revered people in scripture, and in all of eternity; who does not speak very much at all in scripture, yet who's obedience and loyalty and faith are and were more important than all of the worry who is in charge in our congregations.

As many have already given scripture and explanations, women are a true blessing to the Body of Christ and are held in very high esteem, yet they can not have authority over any man, not just the husband.

Sorry, but back in the Old Testament days women were NOT held in high esteem.

They were treated very poorly and not just by their husbands.

I guess you have never read the Songs of Solomon.

Jesus had tremendous regard and respect for women. They were used by Him to spread the word that the tomb was empty. He loved His mother and as He died (laid down His life ) He asked for His mother to be cared for. Jesus did not shy away from talking to women, think about His conversation with the Samaritan woman. Jesus loves women and respected them. But how many women did He choose as disciples? None. We should look to Him for His model of the role of women in the church, and not appeal to our own (flawed) thinking of equal rights.

Women are equal in terms of value, but different in terms of service. The letters to Timothy and Titus set out the requirements for a pastor, to be married to one wife, so unless you are going to start accepting lesbian marriages, I think that rules out women.

JMHO .

you're right, lovinghim, that was a rather rude reply. but please don't stop typing because of it! (you don't waste my time )

Well since the "waste of time" remark was about what I typed, you both missed the point, and considering some of the replies I've seen from you, I would think remarking on someone else being rude is rather hypocritical of you.

Your humble opinion is biblically correct!

Never have I heard it more simply explained. And if I might add, as my pastor once said to me, if a woman is running and managing a church, where are the men? And before everyone gets their knickers in a twist, thats a indictment against men in some churches. And a question many men in many churches would find hard to answer.
