Women in the Church today

[Ovedya]

Nevertheless:

1) God is still a man.

2) The Bible is plainly clear regarding the role of women in the church: They are not permitted to teach.

Praise The Lord that the orthodoxy of the church has never depended on a small group of individuals with contrary minds.

God is not a man but such is a pagan belief that he is!

It still remains that there has not been a single shred of Biblical evidence to the contrary. God is a man.

Delusion! Plain and simple!

Floating Axe,

I really wish you could stop calling names. It doesn't validate your opinions. Rather the opposite.

In fact, every reference made to God, in which terms are typically used to describe gender, show that God is a man. I don't have to provide them all here, since the list would be too long to post.

Names? What names?

What scriptures tell us all that God is a man?

What names is she calling is the question or did you mean to say something else?

God is not a man. He created humans both male and female and both are in his image.

The bible DOES NOT clearly state the role of all women in all churches. Again, this passage is so misunderstood in this thread. The passage that people are using here is out of context of what was going on IN THAT CHURCH in that time and does not apply to all women in all churches.

The truth is that God decides what role he would have whom in the church. This is on an individual basis not depending on gender.

Equality among men and women in the church is not delusional nor liberal. It is letting God be God and let him use those whom he wills. Are not women also children of God? Christianity needs all the help it can get. Why would you shut off women to in reality make up more than 50% of the membership?

There are many reasons why God would call a woman. Not all women who are abused by husbands or another male could face another male to receive ministry. A woman she would be more comfortable with.

Women are leaders just as good and sometimes better than men. It is a scientific and medical fact that they can multi-task better than a male.

Oh Lawyer--you are a blessing!
