There is controversy associated with whether a woman is allowed to preach or not,and people should not let arrogance get in the way like the world,where men and women will fight for control,and fight in general for positions of authority.
1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
1Co 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
The world has an authority structure,like business,government,school,and the such,so things get done smoothly,without complications,and people are not fighting over who is in charge,like that saying,too many chiefs,and not enough indians.
God also has an authority structure,so things go smoothly,and there is not fighting over who is in charge,not only in the Church,but also in the family unit,and that is why children obey their parents,and wives submit to their husbands.
But when the Bible says man is the head of the woman,and wives submit to the husbands,it is to be done according to the will of God,and not according to the man's agenda,and so that there is not fighting over who is in charge,and the family unit can run smoothly.
Since everything has to be done according to the will of God,and not the will of man,the man running the household,would be the same thing as the woman listening to God,because it is according to the will of God,and not man,so the man has nowhere to glory,or exalt himself.
But the world does not abide according to this,but the men in the world want to exalt themselves,saying we will do this,or do that,and do not talk back,and you do this,and that,and do not talk back,but I will not say all,but too many of them do that,although some to more extreme than others.But the men of the world do like to have some control over the woman according to their own will.
This is not according to the authority structure of God,but it is according to God's will.
Also the woman is the helper of the man and can assist,and give advice on things pertaining to what is right according to the family,and if the man is out of line,being in the Lord,she can tell him to stop his wrongful actions.
But if it is any comfort to women,Jesus said whoever is the greater,let him be the servant,as Christ,who is the greatest,is the servant,and since the man is the head of the woman,he is actually her servant,pertaining to the ways of God.
1Co 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
1Co 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
1Co 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
1Co 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
But although God has an authority structure on earth,a man,and woman,are equal in the Lord,for there is no authority structure between a man,and a woman,in heaven.
Luk 20:34 And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:
Luk 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Luk 20:36 Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.
In heaven there is no authority structure between a man,and a woman,for the only thing that separates a man,and a woman,is the flesh,the spirit,and soul,are the same,and when they put off the flesh,in heaven they are equal,them not being a man,or woman,but a saint in a glorified body,which there is no distinction of the glorified body,but it is the same.
The only authority in heaven is Jesus,who is God.
Angels are last in the authority structure of God on earth,because while God loves the angels,but people are His pride,and joy,and all things were made for the man Christ Jesus,and the people that follow Him.
Angels are only ministering spirits to minister to them that shall inherit salvation,and the angels desire to look in to the salvation of the saints,and the saints will have a higher position in heaven,than that of the angels,for the saints will have a glorified body,and rule with Jesus on earth for 1000 years,a privilege the angels will never have.
God has to have an authority structure on earth,and it all has to be done according to the will of God,so there is no glorying on anybody's part,for it is not according to their will.
It would appear when people gather together that are saints,to hear the word of God,and to worship God,that it should be the man to head up this gathering,but the women can preach,and teach,those that are without the Lord,like Bible studies,children's groups,and all people are instructed by the Lord,to preach the Gospel.
So women can teach,and preach,to those that are without the Lord,and children,and such,but when the saints gather together to hear the word of God,and to worship,then it should be a man to head up the gathering,not because he is above the woman pertaining to the kingdom of God,but so that things run smoothly,without fighting,and controversy,where everybody,from children,to women,and men,know their place,like the military,or any other organization on earth,that has an authority structure.
God does not like strife,and even if there is strife between a believer,and a non believer,God said let it alone,and go your way.
God likes people to obey authority,which is another reason for the authority structure,which Christ is the head of the man,because an authority structure teaches people to humble themselves,and people that humble themselves before people,will most likely humble themselves before God.
The Bible says that children obeying their parents,is the first commandment with promise,because if children humble themselves before their parents,they are more likely to humble themselves before God,which the preacher has to humble himself not only before Christ,but before the bishop,and possibly elders,which the Bible says rebuke not an elder.
That is one of the problems the world is going astray,because the Bible says that in the last days children will be disobedient to parents,and the last generation before Jesus comes back,the children will be disobedient to parents,which that attitude will carry in the to their adulthood,and the world will slip more and more,towards the beast kingdom,that recognizes no personal God,but honors the God of forces,or the evolutionary process.
Pro 30:11 There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
Pro 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.
Pro 30:13 There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
Pro 30:14 There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
