You have a good balance in your understanding but these others will not hear what you are saying as a woman who has good conviction. There are those on this site that believe that they have an understanding from the Holy Spirit and anything you say contrary to that understanding is contrary to the word or they will accuse you of not reading or understanding their posts. They are very subjective individuals that are easily offended and they often retaliate with belittling comments to make you feel ignorant of foolish with what you have been given by God. There are only a few on this site that are like that but they are consistent and they have a mutual admiration for one another that is very noticeable. So don't let these few individuals bother you, just walk in the light you have been given and hope that others will walk in the same light that glorifies God in the truth. You are a good champion of the faith in this area of truth and stay steadfast.
Wow, how big of you, Reddy, to say that we who see the current times work of God using women pastors as nothing more than a crux usage of the Holy Spirit. So be it, like I said earlier, and, I pray my words DO follow He who is in me than he who is in the world, we will be judged for EVERY false word we claim, and, those being teachers will be judged more .
But, that said, answer this question: Are ALL women pastors in society today FALSE TEACHERS?
Simple question, have at it, and, I suggesr you PRAY DEEPLY TO GOD, let the Holy Spirit give you right words , I pray you understand me, I am NOT saying what Paul said about women teachimg over men is false scripture, I don't! But, the word of God is by men, and, I won't to be careful, dear Lord...amen, because I in NO way want you to think there are exceptions to God's Holy Spirit written rule by men, and, women, in NT and OT, but, God is God and when He does something, like divinely authorize women to pastor great throngs of people, like many, many, many women pastors in TODAY'S SOCIETY, Ido NOT question God's SEEN will of this happenimg despite what scripture says. God is God and, women are peacemakers, who knows, but, in the wars of Syria and Israel maybe we would bebetter off as a world SOCIETY.
I don't question God in whatever He's done, it is God's will, but, I really did want to see that woman president come to power (I forget her name) in Pakistan because I felt a woman could bring peace to middle east in among the Netanyu and other world leaders.
Anyway, auntbea, 'YOU' is how you attribute what I say, and, this I tell YOU, and, Reddy, and, mediation, and, Eddie, and, eyeswideclosed, and, everyone else, what I say is not about me, it is about He who is in me, desperately fighting what is being said against women pastors because many (not me) have women pastors preaching to.them now and YOUR cutting words can AFFECT theses' FAITH, ahd,, maybe, even, their salvation.'
I will leave you with this: Everyone knew Judas was a betrayer, Peter certainly did, and, a betrayer is just LIKE a woman pastor in that God preached against both being right things to do. However....
...after Jesus arose from the grave and many were following Christ, including JUDAS, who BETRAYED JESUS, Peter said these words, and, listen, pray, listen, to what is,said next, Christ peeps.
Peter: But, Lord, what about this woman pastor, Meyers, she preaches against 'this,' or, Kuhlman, she against this, or, what about your Word, Lord, you say yourself, ' Women are not to teach or usurp.authority over a man,' and, that's a quote, Lord, uh-huh, that
