Re: Why is the "Jezebel spirit" concept mostly in Charismatic, Pentecostal, WOF circl
I have wondered this myself about why we (charismatics) have this concept of the JS. It has never made sense to me. I mean, we have allowed women to be prophets and women to be pastors/teachers, in direct violation of scripture. Then we ignore Rev. 2:20. The Lord clearly says that this particular group has let a woman, Jezebel, be a prophetess and teacher and couple other things I don't remember right off. He has this against them.
If there is such a fuss over this JS, fix it by not allowing women leadership. However, that won't happen because the so called leaders really don't see that as a problem. I think the other denominations don't have this concept of a JS because they have not allowed it to happen. Call it what you want, but it is a very real problem in our Pentecostal churches.
I have written several letters challenging Pentecostal denominations to reform their doctrine on this and other things. Other ministers have as well. Sad to say, I don't see reform coming any time soon.
