Joyce Meyer

[Ovedya]

I personally don't believe that Joyce Meyer has any Scriptural foundation upon which she can rest her "ministry." The Bible is abundantly clear on the subject of women asserting authority over men. In general, any argument that attempts to justify unscriptural behavior through cultural or Scriptural "loopholes" cannot be considered a genuine "ministry" of the Lord. At least not in my book.

There are other problems with Joyce Meyer besides this, however. She appears to promote WOF, and a couple of other errors.

explain to me WOF. I have watched TBN..some of the shows are very informative, but at times I wonder if they are based upon their principles of what worship is, rather than what is said. I am a new Christian and am learning daily. Would you care to elaborate on this please?

I personally enjoy the teachings of Joyce Meyer.

  Joyce will never tell you that she is the authority over her husband, because she knows she is to be submissive to him. Even when she was an associate pastor at life christian center in missouri, she was still under the authority of her pastor.

Based on this statement and what the Bible says about women being submissise to her husband and the pastor, than what is wrong with what she is doing?

Her husband obvisally supports her in the teachings that she does so what is wrong with that?

All these other TV evanglist allow their wives to teach from the Bible and I don't hear any complaints about that. IF you don't like a particular TV evanglist, GOD did give you the remote to change the channel or turn it off no one is forcing you to listen these TV evanglist. I'm not saying they are all perfect but than niether are we.

As far as womens role in ministry there has to be some or there would be no reason for those statemnts being made for woemen to be silent in the church.

IF they are being told be silent why is that the majority of churches do not follow this passage to the extreeme measure.

IF women are to be silent in the church. This means men you need step up to the plate in start teaching sunday school from birth to adult. Also, there should be no adult sunday school class for women, women should not be allowed to sing in church. Women should not be allowed to speak in a co-ed Sunday school class. How far do we take this passage?

I beleive that this passage and others in the Bible need to be restudied but I think we take it out of context way to much

Don't believe what I say fine, don't believe what others tell you either till you have studied it fully from old to new testment. I will respect what ever choice make even if I don't agree with you 100% or maybe you will surprise and we will agree.

Study and produce much fruit, pick off the old and let the new grow.

God Bless

The Bible says that women are to be under a man... Are women preachers not under God, whom is our father? A lot of people try to overcomplicate this issue.

What are trying to say? where do you get this out of the Bible?

Ray,

I also questioned Andrews statement in an earlier post.

ANDREW,WHERE R U?

The same man who told us women should be silent in the church-also said that women shouldn't pray or prophesy with their head uncovered. Now-both of those statements cannot be taken literally in every situation in the church. I like Joyce Meyer and make it a point to listen to her if I see her on TV. I believe she is under the autority of the Lord and of her husband.

Amen, brother. I avoid anyone like this. I've tuned in, but am unable to concentrate and learn from someone who is going against God's commands. It makes me wonder what else they don't bother with in Scripture that doesn't suit them. Just my opinion.
