Wow, I posted this thread on the 4th. Sorry for the huge gap of time in response to everyone's posts. I forgot that I even made an account here until today. You all are definitely gifted by God in kindness and care for your fellow man. May God bless you all and keep you in His peace until He returns.

Hello Dokimos, welcome to CChat!! :) I totally understand about bad online communities, I'm a sort of refugee of the same. I do believe that I/we can carry our Light with us whereever we go, but it's also good to have a place where we can share fellowship with people who are at least somewhat like-minded and who are influencing us toward a deeper walk with Christ. (It's also good to not only get to grow with people growing in the same direction, but it's also the best kind of fun! :) ) Anyway, welcome!! :D

I find that it is not only fun (you always have a better time surrounded by people you experience less conflict of thought with), but it is also essential to life. We have God always, but we risk becoming lukewarm if we keep bad company or do not keep the like-minded with us. <3

Hi dokimos:
Just curious, did you do a Bible and theological research to come to the conclusion of: "being female and disqualified to run a ministry without a male head"?

In my understanding, females can be praise leaders, administrative leaders, intercessory prayer leaders, prophetic and other gifts of the Spirit related leaders.

Some groups believe that since God established a hierarchy (God, Jesus, man, woman), then women are not to lead the congregation. If the original intent of God creating woman as fit aid still holds (many think it does), then yes, maybe women cannot lead the congregation.

But as a fit aid I see she can perfectly do other tasks as leader.

In general it seems that women are not allowed to set / develop doctrine, but maybe there is nothing wrong with evaluating doctrine, and / or communicating doctrine.

Communicating doctrine includes other women and children teaching ministries of course.

Have you thought or researched on any of the above? If so can you share some of your findings, conclusions, etc.?

For that matter any poster is welcome to join the exploration of the topic.

kind regards.

Hi, what you have said is promising. It has always been upheld in the communities I have taken part in that women specifically are not qualified to be ministers of the Word. I would not want to lead a congregation, I fully acknowledge that I am not equipped to handle it!

I feel I can pray and prophesy, I am qualified for those things.
On doctrines, though - I LOVE studying the word and communicating doctrine that already exists, using discernment and having the Spirit reveal what God's word is saying. I just wonder sometimes if I am qualified to have my own ministry without a male head that leads in authority. I would say not.

We are allowed to minister to other women, yes.

Thanks for your consideration and correction.
