Would you walk out of your church if a woman, who was a missionary, came up to the pulpit to give her testimony ?
Why or why not?
Would this be considered a woman having authority over a man, as 1 Tim. 2:12 states, if she were to recount her experiences of having seen God at work through her in a far-off land ?
1 Timothy 2: 12 : "I suffer not a woman to teach or have authority over a man but to be silent."
Keep in mind that 'to teach' goes with the word 'authority,' you are wrong to think that a woman is being told here by Paul to NEVER teach a man nothing. That's pathetic understanding of the English language, I think
The verse should read: "I suffer not a woman to teach (authority) or have authority over a man but to be silent."
The word 'authority goes with 'to teach,' it is IMPLIED, for all those English scholars out there
So, is a woman missionary imposing her authority over a congregation, filled with women AND MEN, if she recounts how God moved in her life in the days/months/years she was in the heart of AFrica's Congo, or, wherever she was missionary, bringing the lost to Jesus ? Keep in mind, let's just say it outright, she is going to give a POWERFUL testimony, full of faith
Yes or no. And, I thought hard about including this third poll choice, too, but, yeah, the Lord leads, so I will, 'depends.'
Can we, please, keep specific to this topic, no, going out on tangents about women preachers, etc., there are enough of those threads already silencing God's hand on what's His way and not our way and His thoughts and not our thoughts way of doing things that people, for some reason, like to THINK they and their bible scholariness CAN outTHINK God when it comes to women who are ALREADY patoring a church, fillwed with women AND MEN But, I digress.....
Women missionaries, what of them? Can they explain God's mighty hand on their life in parts unknown to modern day worldphites ? Can she tell others of her time that brought thousands and thousands to Christ? Can she exhort you to bring others to Christ, too ? Or, is this missionary woman like 'Dragnet,' to you, no nothing else, 'Just the fact, ma'am.'
Why or why not?
