GINOLJC, to all.
First thanks for the reply, second, ordained deacons and Pastors ONLY? we must disagree with that assessment of the scriptures. lets see what the bible say about ordination. 1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath
set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily
prophets, thirdly
teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."
here, the Greek word for "SET" is G5087 τίθημι tithemi (tiy'-thee-miy) v.
θέω theo (the'-ō) [an alternate in certain tenses]
1. to place.
2. (properly) to lay in a passive or horizontal posture.
{in the widest application, literally and figuratively; differs from G2476, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while G2749 is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate}
[a prolonged form of a primary theo theh'-o (which is used only as alternate in certain tenses)]
KJV: + advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make,
ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down
Compare: G2476, G2749
the KJV can also translate the word as "
ordain", which is another word for "Set", as used in 1 Timothy 2:7 "Whereunto I am
ordained a preacher, and
an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not
a
teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity."
now the question comes to mind, why are not Women "ORDAINED" in ... "some" .... churches today? are they not "Prophets?" for 1 Corinthians 12:28 clearly states God has set/Ordained Prophets in his church, "And God hath
set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily
prophets, thirdly
teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."
so why are not Prophets ordained in todays churches, and the bible is full of women Prophets. 1 Corinthians 12:28 fully tells us God put prophets in HIS.... "HIS" ... church, read 1 Corinthians 12:28 again. and why would God put women in his CHURCH, to ... "be silent?" ... as Prophets who PREACH and TEACH. one is not playing with a full deck if they believe that.
1 Corinthians 12:28 clearly place women in the CHURCH as prophets. no one in their right mind can challenge that.
