Who ordains folks? Your funny little feeling in your stomach? God has revealed something to you?
Thats why the body of Christ is hurting.....people listen to their "gut" instead of scripture.
Oh Joyce Myer's had people get saved at her gatherings. I wonder how many people got saved at jim jones's gatherings.
Being popular and prosperous doesn't prove anything. The porn industry is prosperous and popular but that doesn't make it of God.
So, you voted 'no,' , yes? this then means, eyestoHim, you feel that women are PREACHING to men, believers, non-believers, when they tell them about God, that women are not 'called' by God, it's just a fancy feeling in their gut.
And, since when is a woman's teaching men about Jesus meaning she is having 'authority,' over them, as the Greek word, 'authenteo' is used for 'authority' in 1 Timothy 2:12. 'Authenteo' is a coarse verb, as I said, with 'violent' usage, and 'dominion' (order), 'rule' connotations. Paul and ALL others, even Jesus, I'm assuming, used words 'exousia' and 'hipeiko' and maybe other less HARSH 'authority' words 146 times in the God-inspired books of the NT.
But, ONE TIME, the word 'exousia' or 'hipeiko' or whatever else softer 'authority' word was NOT used, 1 time out of 147 times, the word used was 'authenteo.' And, this word 'has to do with 'violence,' a sexually CHARGED word, some lexicon folk say, but certainly with a meaning to it with DEATH in it, literally, if a 2nd century literature work of Greek writing, Euriphedes' is pulled. HEY, let's face it, in this particular time, these Ephesian women were obviously having a SERIOUS 'man-control' problem. So, authenteo,' in fact means the coarsest form of 'dominion' the word can have. Murder! Paul using this word, 'authenteo' means this church was in diabolical thought even.
'the taking of another's ife with one's own hand.' «« This word, this harsh, harsh meaning word, authenteo,' and, it's root word, 'authente,' said as 'authentikos' by the Greek is SOME wildly vocipherous, vitriolic word. Also, of 'authentes' meaning is 'origination,' which makes perfect sense too because AFTER verse 12 of 1Timothy 2....
I suffer not a woman to teach (origination) or have authority (dominion) over a man, but to be in silence ('peaceable' is the Greek word for 'silence' word, 'hesychias,' or, whatever spelling close to that of Greek word. Then, in verse 13, Paul definitely does not speak of 'dominion' but of 'origin' and this is why women are not to teach they are FIRST.
1 Timothy 2:13 'Adam was formed FIRST then Eve.' «777« Origination .
Making more sense now jimdig, tribers, closetoHim, seeallen, whoever else foots this stance of scripture saying women can't preach????
Therefore, since when is a woman telling/teaching a man about God her having DOMINION over them???
I will tell you all since when. Since 'never.'
What? Are we men too stupid to listen to a women tell us about Jesus and think we are being usurped of our power, our authority, the woman teaching us is dominating rule over us? What you're a new believer, and, your going to make a choice to become saved because you are feeling DOMINATED??
Oh , please, grow up, traditionalist MAN, pray for Truth, as has been shown you now...
Yes, indeed, women pastors are called by God now, have been called throughout time, as long as men did not OPPRESS them, thinking God was saying something IN SCRIPTURE, to uphold their own conceived selfish thoughts that God was NEVER really saying.
There's still time to change your mind on this thinking that WILL stunt your rewards in Heaven, we ARE ALL TO PREACH AND TEACH the gospel, as the Lord leads us, singles, marrieds, and, IF you are married out there, pastors, involve your wife in your preaching, your MINISTRY will exponebtially blossom with FRUIT
God bless us all, everyone, serving Him through WHATEVER capacity He has 'called' us to serve, teaching, preaching living with/in Him.
