.....anudder question fer ya........if what you say is true, how come men go off to work and leave women at home to care for the current generation? should'na the men be there to do that?

if what you say is true............seems to me they would........ :)
1 Tim 2:15 Godly mothers are desperately needed in todays families. Godly fathers are as well as this allows Godly mothers to teach the children at a tender age about the Lord Jesus.

Pastoring a church is not the same as teaching in bible studies and in the home.

1 Timothy 2:15 But women will be saved through childbearing--if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

Yes, more proof that 1 Timothy 2:12 is speaking of the family, not giving men authority over all women.

.......but Brother, that does not address Drett's comment............ :)

God made men and women equal but different for different roles. Men look after the current generation and women look after the future generation. The role of a preacher is generally to tend to the current generation as a shepherd tends to his flock.


edited to say: then, of course, we must know that Pastors pastor a congregation...............be it in a free standing building OR in their homes ....... Home Church congregations are more and more popular these days.........just saying.......

And in Biblical times, many of the congregations met in "homes" ie: Pricilla's and Aquila's home where they BOTH Pastored, preached, taught men............in a "more perfect way" of the Gospel

"I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."
[1 Timothy 2:12]

So I wandered into the Bible Study Room this afternoon, hoping to learn something. At that time there were two women dominating the chat, almost non stop. What they said, and the way the said it, came across as teaching, sometimes even preaching. I guess there's nothing wrong for a woman to express her personal faith in Jesus Christ, but this went way too far in my opinion. Should women be allowed to dominate the chat in such a way at CC (especially in Bible Study Room) if we take scripture seriously? Your thoughts please, preferably backed up with scripture
. Thank you.

Did U tell 'em to git back in the kitchin' & shut their traps? Idn't that wut you as a man 'sposed to do?:rolleyes:

Here's an in-depth study on the matter.

We dont need in depth studies we need to get our heads clear and our uderstanding sure. It would be a shame to continue looking like idots while the Holy Spirit is grieved because we lean to our own understanding instead of seeking his truth. Women can preach and teach your ignorance misses she is bone of my bone flesh of my flesh wecare no longer two but one she has the same measure of authority as her husband in that respect.Seems like Paul followed the bigoted system of his day as custom.Think on it
 
Oh so what about a mother who instructs her son, or tries to teach and preach the gospel of Christ to him? Or an older grandmother to a younger man?

You asked, so let the Bible answer.... My answer is from God's Word and now maybe you can see how the PROPER church of God operates...

James says PURE AND UNDEFILED RELIGIEN BEFORE GOD IS..... To visit the fatherless and the widows in their affliction.... I saw widows in afflistion for the lack of LEAD of the passed away HUSBAND puts them in affliction every time the rebel young man goes astray. It is then that the ELDERS of the church should PRACTICE their pure religion. Go to the widows home and TEACH THE fatherless....

And the Bible adds how these fatherless MEN should be taught and WHAT they should be taught.... By whom? BE ANY MAN THAT PRACTISE PURE RELIGION AND VISIT THE WIDOWS AND FATHERLESS....

The Church of God has elders ABLE TO TEACH, and they d it in Church and at the homes of the fatherless and widows. What an AWESOME God we serve. Hs church is truly PERFECT! He HIMSLEF maintain and appoint the office bearers to CARE for His church. Amen!

God does not need women to fill posts in His church, he has enough men to do so. It is like using a small car to transport a whole basketball team, when you have a huge bus to use. God appoint FIT and ABLE teachers to teach the WHOLE church. Elders (teachers), pastors, evangelists, prophets, apostles... ALL MEN (accept for some women prophets that may prophecy to other younger women how to submit to their husbands). Remember all prohecies has to be in line with Scripture,,, So even the women prohecying will have to be in line with Scripture. If it is NOT in line with Scripture it is EVIL speaking...


So there that should answer you your question. Timothy was NOT taught b Hs grandmother and mother, and his gift of God did NOT come by the upbringing of two GODLY WOMEN, it ws given the moment PAUL layed hands on him. God HIMSELF is the ONLY teacher... Why do people think others can teach? Like my dear friend PAstac here, HE CANNOT TEACH... COBUS CANNOT TEACH.... Even if I am elder and APT TO TEACH... the APT is not me it is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in me is the ONLY TEACHER that can teach.


This is how God teach..... The Word of God is given... The moment Jesus opened His mouth to bring the Gospel, God REVEALED ALL the hidden Words and revelations of God. When Jesus started to TEACH, God strted to reveal Himslef to us through Jesus. This revelation of God is the ONLY TRUTH we will EVER know.


Jesus is the Truth, and He is the ONLY one that makes (sets) us free. And knowing the Truth is the make free. How will I know the Truth if God does not REVEAL it to me.... Revelation from God is the TEACH! Only God can reveal, and God revealed to me..... The Truth makes me free. I am free from man-taught false Christianity, becasue I SEE GOD! I SEE Truth, I see JESUS! When I see Jesus, I see Truth, and I am free...


I know God and I know His church. I see God and I hear God. Not one person can mislead me, not ONE! Not even an angel can fool me. Why? God REVEALED HIMSELF TO ME! I know God and I SEE Jesus. The moment one speaks, I see the spirit. And be warned... THERE ARE MANY, MANY of the spirit of the anti-christ...


Who is of the anti-christ.... These ones are... 1 John 4... 1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
1Jn 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
1Jn 4:5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
1Jn 4:6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
 
Cobus ill let you in on a truth you are missing! You dont know it all and you know diddly squat about this subject.youre so far off track I dont know where to begin.
I still love you but brothet youre really not getting allyour facts clear or understanding

My friend, look who Paul adress when he says YE ALL CAN PROPHESY.... Verse 26... HOW IS IT THEN BRETHREN... IF ANY MAN SPEAK.... FOR YE (brethren and men) may all prophesy ONE BY ONE... And let the PROPHETS (not prophetesses) speak two or three (one by one) ...and let the OTHER MEN JUDGE....

Do not lose the fact that Paul was ONLY adressing the BRETHREN... and that is why he says... YE CAN ALL PROPHESY... not menaing women... YE (as in the BRETHREN) It is IPOSSIBLE to prophecy and keep silent... Come on it is even understnadable for my 10 year old daughter.... She inderstands this it is only the ignorent that DO not WANT to know this... the spirit of ERROR.

And then PAul speaks about the women.... LET THE YOUR WOMEN KEEP SILENCE IN THE CURCHES... not one church... ALL CHURCHES... And this verse will still be here when there is no more ignorant anywhere!

To leave out the word YE before ALL CAN PROPHESY is to change the meaning to suit women to talk in church... Paul says how is it then BRETHREN ... YE CAN ALL PROPHESY... do NOT twist Scripture, it is EVIL to do so....

To the women who are babes in the written and justified New Covenant Christianity, who need again and again justification to know whether they are allowed to teach, that even clear Scripture are given in justification that you are not allowed to teach.

But since you want to carry on blindly just quoting, even with no justification at all from the New Covenant Scripture about women are allowed to teach and also quote something else unrelated, even in explanation, in order to divert direct Scripture justification by men who have given authority. Then for GOD's love and HIS unmerited favor's sake, to be fair enough further, CHRIST have given me the last quote of Scripture that is written in James 3;1, finally justify that;

"Not many of you should become teacher's', my brother's', ............................................................................."

But if you want to carry on teaching, but again because of GOD's unmerited favor sake, then sadly as it is written shall be justified upon you;

'You harvest what you plant and you reap what you sow."

the Apostle Paul had so many women assisting him in his ministry, it's easy to lose count of them all............
 
Kerry the Apostles appointed DEACONS to serve and wait the tables,,,, not for preaching... There are MANY ways to ASSIST an aposlte.

The sick and the hungry and the elders, and the children and infants and the masses who need personal assistance... MANY things. Look how the diciples assisted Jesus...

And what does a woman do that confess Godliness... with GOOD WORKS.. oh man there are WAY more Work than WORD...
Let me show you from Paul's own writings how the women assisted Him... 1 Tim 2:10... But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
 
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.

Some seem to think that having a "head" means that you don't do anything, or cannot work. As many have pointed out, women taught throughout the NT. But, as the NT also points out, that men (of God) are to lead in the church. We are not subject to rules of worldly men unless those rules are in sync with the Laws of God.

Christ is our "head" and we are all subject to Him. Men are the "head" of their wives. We dishonor Christ when we do things differently than He has told us. Wives dishonor their husbands when they do differently than their husbands have told them. The problem is that men are men and don't always do what their "Head" (Jesus) wants him to do.

Women are not to lead the church or hold authority in the church. This does not mean that they cannot work. Women are great workers. And many times it is a woman who reminds the man that he has obligations and a role to play as a leader in the church and family. Women should be helpers. And the church, being the bride/wife, should be helpers for Christ.

Just because we live in a society that does not recognize this, does not mean that it is not true.

Proverbs 31:10-12
[SUP]10[/SUP] An excellent wife, who can find?
For her worth is far above jewels.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.
 
I'm done for now the Lord will have to direct me because I'm so displeased at the level of and lack of understanding this subject it saddens me and I will no longer take part in this as it is not edifying anyone and is promoting ideologies that are not consistient with what Jesu said in entirity. The Paul stuff is always overuled by Jesus own words always will be!
 
Look how Godly women can change the ways of UNGODLY women.... without even speaking ONE SINLGE WORD....
1 Peter 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

Now that is some TEACHING by GODLY women.... WOW! To convert non obeying women withou the WORD and be won to obey... WOW how holy does these women profess their Godiness with GOOD WORKS and manner... WOW!!! What an AWESOME God we serve.

To subject to their husbands in such a manner that the disobeying women can be won over without the WORD! WOW! My wife is one of these that subject as an example... I have the perfect wife. Thank You Jeuss for Lucy, Amen!
 
The entire subject has been misquoted, misstated, and down right not answered, I do wonder what each of us will tell the one with the fire in His eyes when we stand before Him and have to give an account of what we did and in what Spirit did we do it, did we do it in a Spirit of edification and love? This is one of those subjects that Paul warned us about, don't discuss that which has absolutely no value, it has nothing to do with salvation, let the ignorant remain ignorant, how much more are we going to chase our tails in a circle until we get dizzy?

Fact, if women want to preach, let them do so with the blessings of God, for one day they will answer to God and then they will know what was right or wrong. For those of us we should be still and bare it for the blood was spilt for the women also, and if it is a thorn, then don't go to that Church or organization and please bless it, again for Christ and not us. They are servants of our God and there is only one God or not? It is a simple thing, who are we to judge God's servant? We are walking on very thin ice, and we should work our own salvation in fear and trembling.

Father God, I sCh_christianpray3[1].gif that You will pour out Your Spirit to impart understanding to those who teach an ideology that is designed to LIMIT Your immeasurable Power! They strive to limit what Your will is possible of by saying who You can choose to do Your will here on earth.
