1Timmothy 2:12 It says that a "I won't put up with a woman to teach or to usurp (by force) authority over the man, but to be in silence for Adam was first formed then Eve and Adam was not deceived but the woman being deceived, was in the transgression.......etc
The older women (elders) are to teach the younger women and that is alright.
This is the controversy and I will share something with you that are my personal feelings.
With organized religeon and men who are trained and taught at cemetaries, opps! I mean seminaries, it is like a cookie cutter and mostly it turns out pastors and teachers etc who are ordained by man and NOT necessarily ordained by God. Only God can anoint men to be apostles and pastors and teachers and evangelists. In our own territory, we are teachers whether we like it or not, our lives are a testimoney and, everybody is given the ministry of reconciliation. In the system of organized religeon where most the men who are leaders who are not ordained by God, it don't even matter to me if the denomination ordains pastors who are women, or even gay!! It is organized religeon that God has nothing to do with except for his few children that are birthed in them. If organized religeon wants to ordain an ass, I would not be shocked, I don't care what they do.These religeous "kingdoms of the world" are only bearing the fruit of the seed they come from, every seed bears it's own kind and the word says that the anti Christ would be revealed. Jesus said, "If it were possible, even the very elect would be deceived" Matthew 24. So, it is something close to the truth not something obvious like J.W's and Mormons etc. and obvious cults. If you looked up deceivers online like Sherry Shriner, you will understand how apostate people can get and how closely she twists the word of God teaching demon seed doctrine and saying Paul was a flase apostle.
In the body of Christ where he has baptised his true members into the body of Christ where he is the head of all principality and power, his anointed who are servants, will do by the nature of Christ and not the will of man have holy order in his church no matter where they assemble.
Another thing I have witnessed where Paul is correct in saying that a woman was deceived, we need our husbands for counsel because this is true. You look at all the wierd cults that are out in the world and you will notice that more women attend them than men. Look at the women who love Benny Hinn because they secretly lust after their false leaders also. If you hear a woman glorify and exault and speak of her pastor all the time on how great he is instead of Jesus, that lets me discern that something is drastically wrong. This goes the same for a man. Back in the time of the bible, most women taught their children at home and they were home schooled also. Today, our worldly system makes it so the mothers have to go out and work and not be home for their children. That is a deliberate plan of Satan so the children can be taught and indoctrinated by worldy antiChrist beliefs. We women are the weaker vessel and I myself have made errors becausse of my emmotions and I thank God that my husband was there to give me correct answers to things. We can be taught by the holy spirit in the day and age with all the religeous confusion " I know that my husband appreciates my being able to answer him with scripture when he wants to know what it says because I remember. He cannot remember like God has given me remembrance. I wish I could remember by verse and number and I don't. Besides that, man put in the verses and the chapters etc. making it easier for us to find.
I know that God has gifted me with talents and I don't have to attend organized religeon for him to use me because I don't want to "sell out" and jump through hoops just to have church accept me and let me "perform". You usually have to play the "religeous politics", sign church membership and agree to their by laws and promise to "tithe and support" to their so called storehouse. The leaders have to "approve" of you so they know that you will not be a threat to their kingdom. They use the excuse that they "have to get to know you" before you can use your talents because there may be wierd people come in and disrupt and teach things against their doctrines". It is not so in the word of God. We don't have to prove ourselves to man, but only to God and the elders can easily correct somebody if they are wrong but, the leaders of organized religeon want to make sure they are in control. In jumping through hoops and playing the religeous politics, it would show me that if I did that, I would only do it because I would want recognition and to be seen of man. Our flesh loves recognition and it is the flesh that drives people to want to be up in front of people. The body of Christ was not set up like that. Everybody could participate. They use that excuse that they train their members to parrot, "doesn't God want order"? Instead of reading their bibles and praying to God for discernment, people are turned into "parrots" who repeat what the pastors want them to repeat. Touch not God's anointed is another twisted scripture they use to protect their own personal kingdoms.
