Why are you married to someone who’s not saved? God says not to marry people who are unequally yoked. So you’re already in rebellion of God’s Word. Of course you should teach your children since your husband is an unbeliever, but that doesn’t qualify you to be the pastor of a church or exercise authority over men in a church setting.

There were some things that were happening in the early churches now that the Jews had this freedom in Christ .. so Paul had to address the issues the problem .. 👍

'Pastor' John and the Bible are 2 different entities. This titled pastor does not know the scriptures. Please find the word 'pastor' in the new testament covenant and say where reference is made to male or female, nowhere is such written. Also where was anyone addressed by the title of Pastor, churches were households. The unbelieving male or husband cannot head the household of God, though he is head of his own natural household. Not every believer, male or female, gets married, they may also get widow or widower. There were both elder women and elder men in the church. There is Lydia with a believing household in the book of Acts 16:14-40; There is also 'the elect lady and her children' etc SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES says Jesus, Where has he said, "listen to men to understand?

As a woman who seeks to be more like Christ I agree with all that was said in this episode. We recently moved from Arizona where we attended a Sothern Baptist church to Loughborough Leicestershire, England, which meant we had to find a new church to be members of. It was hard due to the fact that churches are allowing women to preach under the authority of the elders or they appoint a woman outright to be the lead elder or pastor/preacher of their churches. It is crazy to me because Gods word is so clear on this issue. Thank you for addressing this issue...problem that is rampant these days.

This episode is far from scripture. Before Paul spoke, God spoke, his Son spoke. Is Paul in opposition to God and his Son? No! Is it not that you Anti-God anti-women people seek to use scripture to justify your own prejudice, hate and jealousy. Christ came to restore man (male and female) to original status of equal dominion. Only the regenerated born-again man can understand the restoration, not the unregenerated ungodly who remains in his sin but profess to know God, and wants to explain things of the Spirit of God. Which he cannot understand. 1CORINTHIANS 2:14. Christianity is an ungodly religion of Rome, with many having unscriptual philosophies and theories to suit their personal agendas, but they are not the Almighty Creator.

To understand these verses, we must under- stand the situation in which Paul and Timothy worked. In first-century Jewish culture, women were not allowed to study. When Paul said that women should "learn qui- etly and submissively." he was offering them an amaz- ing new opportunity to learn God's Word. That they were to listen and learn quietly and submissivelys referred to an attitude of quietness and composure (not total silence). In addition, Paul himself acknowledges that women publicly prayed and prophesied (1 Corinthi- ans 11:5). Apparently, however, the women in the msl Ephesian church were abusing their newly acquired Christian freedom. Because these women were new10 converts, they did not yet have the necessary experi-m ence, knowledge, or Christian maturity to teach thoses who already had extensive scriptural education. 2:12 Some interpret this passage to mean that wormen should never teach in the assembled church; however, commentators point out that Paul did not forbid women from ever teaching. Paul's commended co- worker, Priscilia, taught Apolos. the great preacher (Acts 18.24-26). Paul frequently mentioned other women who held positions of responsibility in the church, Phoebe worked in the church (Romans 16:1). Mary. Tryphena, Tryphosa and Persis were the Lord's workers (Romans 16:6, 12), as were Euodia and Syntyche (Philippians 4:2). Paul vwas very likely pro- hibiting the Ephesian women, not all women, from teaching (see the note on 2:9-15). Paul did not want the Ephesian women to teach because they didn't yet have enough knowledge or experience. The Ephesian church had a particular prob- lem with false teachers. Evidently the women were especially susceptible to the false teachings (2 Timothy 3:1-9) because they did not yet have enough biblical knowledge to discern the truth. In addition, some of the women were apparently flaunting their newfound Christian freedom by wearing inappropriate clothing (2.9). Paul was telling Timothy not to put anyone (in this case, women) into position of leadership whool was not yet mature in the faith (see 3:6; 5:22). The same principle applies to churches today (see the note on 3:6). 2:13, 14 In previous letters Paul had discussed male/ female roles in marriage (Ephesians 5:21-33; Colos- sians 3:18, 19). Here he talks about male/female roles within the church. Some scholars see these verses about Adam and Eve as an illustration of what was hap- pening in the Ephesian church. Just as Eve had been deceived in the Garden of Eden, so the women in the church were being deceived by false teachers. And just as Adam was the first human created by God, so the men in the church in Ephesus should be the first to speak and teach, because they had more training. This view, then, stresses that Paul's teaching here is not universal but applies to churches with similar prob- lems. Other scholars, however, contend that the roles Paul points out are God's design for his created order-God established these roles to maintain har- mony in both the family and the church. 2:14 Paul is not excusing Adam for his part in the Fall (Genesis 3:6, 7, 17-19). On the contrary, in his letter women to the Romans Paul places the primary humanity's sinful nature on Adam (Romans 5:12-21).

@@David-_-_- well I believe in the sovereignty of God and I believe that “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,” (2 Timothy‬ ‭3:16‬). Which means I believe in the 100% infallibility and inerrancy of Scripture. How evil would God be to allow the Bible to contain commands that contradict His own heart? He would not be sovereign if you say He could not control what was put into His Word, and He would not be kind of allowed false information to be spread to millions of people because He knows it would 1. Confuse many people and cause them to stumble and 2. Directly contradict His own heart on those matters. To say that any part of Scripture is not just as much the Word of God as any other is to deny God’s true character. Furthermore, to disbelieve or disobey any word of Scripture is to disobey God. God cannot lie or speak falsely, so how could the Bible, if all of it is breathed out by God, contain any lie or hint of untruth? Jesus says in John 17:17 while praying to the Father, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is TRUTH.” He does not say God’s word is true, as if it has a higher standard to conform to, but rather that the Bible itself IS the highest standard of truth that God has given us. Truth is what God says, and we have what He says, accurately but not exhaustively, in the Bible. In regards to churches shying away from Paul’s teaching and watering it down, it sounds like those are churches who do not know how to rightly handle the Word of God. In an attempt to be culturally relevant or whatever else the motivation is, they brush over or misinterpret God’s Word and its authority, which says to me if they do that in one area they are likely doing so in multiple areas. Regardless, every church I have been a member of the past few years, including the one I am currently involved in, has affirmed and taught that a woman shall not hold a position of authority in a church as outlined by the role of and elder. She may serve in the church and lead other women, but the role of a teaching pastor is not to be held by a woman, thus says the Lord through his apostle Paul. “Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.” ‭‭1 Timothy‬ ‭2:11-12‬ I do not see in the verse that a woman cannot ask questions or learn or study or teach other women. Simply that she may not exercise authority over a man. Remain quiet when it comes to a pulpit position. A woman can share her testimony to the whole church… she is not teaching but rather sharing what God has done in her life. A woman can sing on the worship team and lead beautifully with her God-given talent. But a woman cannot teach the Word of God because in doing so she contradicts the Word of God which clearly states that she must not hold that position. In 2 Timothy 2, we see that included in the qualifications to be an overseer (or elder), he must be “the husband of one wife…” and by that very definition, a woman cannot be the husband of one wife. Therefore a woman cannot exercise the role of elder. I honestly have to say that unless you agree on the authority Scripture as being straight from the heart of God, being entirely true as he is true, there is really nothing more to discuss. And if you do agree on those points, then the truth of this teaching, as hard as it can be to swallow, should be revealed to you. And that’s really all I have to say about it.

Another chauvinistic quotation! Men and women are different. In the first English case about sex change, the Judge decided that people can change their sex, but not their gender. The woman in that case has since been awarded an MBE. I believe that gender exists only in our Universe, not in Heaven. God has no gender, but we have no pronoun for that, so we use "He." About a Jew who claimed to have no gender, Wikipedia used "They."

Paul was accepted by the other apostles as an apostle so they must have agreed on his teachings which means they would not have an issue with his teachings on what qualifies an elder as they would have taught the same.

As a woman with a strong desire to spread the word when and where God leads me, this is a gorgeous explanation! I would also add that the culture of this time would find a woman in a church leadership role stepping not only into leadership but into a position of authority to which she was generally unaccustomed in that culture. Imagining the level of ego that could befall a person who had always held something more akin to a servant's role once thrust into authority, I can see how especially at that time such a thing would be dangerous not only to her own spirituality but to others'. Furthermore, how would others perceive anything she had to say, as she was acting in a manner so foreign to a women's situation in society? Fast forward to a modern, feminist age, women have all sorts of powers and authorities and so would be less likely than their biblical-era counterparts to become overwhelmed by their new position...HOWEVER, that does not excuse what Paul says nor what the Old Testament says about the roles of men and women, nor do those references completely deny our participation in spreading the word in our communities. What the pastor says in this video is 110% applicable and elegant and I am glad to have heard it.

This is an excellent & thorough (NOT exhaustive, but...thorough) answer to this issue. The problem with people deciding opposite of this is their approach to the issue & texts involved (include 1Cor. 14:34-40, & Titus 2:3-5) is to not handle these scriptures exegetically....but, eisegetically! The way that Pastor John went backwards to explain the situation works in these other passages as well. In the 1st Corinthians passage...Paul indicates in v.38 that if a man is determined to be ignorant...let him be so. WHY? In v.37, Paul had just said that if any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual...let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you ARE THE COMMANDMENTS OF THE LORD ! NOW....verse 38 makes sense, because if they will still have contention concerning this matter...let them be ignorant...you can't reason with them on it, because they see themselves as more authoritative than the LORD. Likewise....in Titus...what/who/where & why.... were the AGED women encouraged to teach? V.3 "...teachers of good things; teaching YOUNG women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers of the home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the Word of God be not blasphemed." Now, go back through that passage and see if you can answer the questions of WHAT was to be taught...to WHO...WHERE was it to be taught...and WHY were these things to be taught? These were teachings that were so that God's word would not be blasphemed.

I am a woman who at the beginning hated and appalled this teaching and found it demeaning and honestly speaking i hated Paul the servant of God because i thought he was sexist. But over time i got this understanding that this is the order that pleases God just like having a man as head of the family, Christ as head of the church or very simply like we have a President as the Head of a State, then the Cabinet and other branches of the government system: the President knows that his government can run best under certain designation of duties, rule and regulations : all have different roles to play and cannot be intermixed for smooth operation. But above all these, as a woman know that God has favored you and wants you to serve Him through this(OBEDIENCE), In submitting to this you are actually serving God , what is more beautiful than that. It is more of a power struggle for us women to want and actually fight for what is not supposed to be ours that was the first mistake we made in the garden of Eden lets break the curse and not listen to the devil and be beguiled again. I love serving God and its beautiful to do so and i find fulfillment in doing so. Lets listen to our Love (Yahushua ) who truly loves us and wants to lead us to eternal liberty.

The problem is, you think Christ's church is in a building. Tell me something, if a woman reads the Bible, is it only true if your husband says it is? Anyone who has the Holy Spirit is ordered to teach. People misinterpret scriptures. You need the Holy Spirit and it's not given to us by a man. It's given to us through Jesus. 99.9% of men preaching at churches now days are deceived. Read your bible and don't listen to anyone but God. Jesus talked to woman. When a woman asked Jesus for something He gave it to her. Jesus answered her. Are you telling me that men are better than Jesus and a woman can't speak in church. This guy is full of it. God gave us all souls. The maturity level of the spirit, you don't see male or female. You see a soul. Don't let anyone tell you what the bible says. You read and ask God. Jesus says let he who wants to be chief among you be the servant. A servant is not male or female. Do you see preachers now days serve at potlucks. Do you see them cleaning toilettes. The one cleaning the toilets is the chief among them. He who humbles himself will be exalted. Sweet heart God gave you a soul. They have a soul. Christ rent the veil. There are no more buildings/churches. The human body is the church. These false teachers emphasize their own books not God's. When you know who you are in the Lord, you will not tolerate doctrines like this. Bless you sister.

The book of Luke speaks of Anna, a WOMAN, who preached at the temple and who served God night and day. And she was certainly not condemned for it: *Luke 2 (KJV)* _36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;_ _37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day._ _38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem._ And you think simply being obedient and doing nothing is serving God? Why don't you start telling everyone about Jesus? Why don't you start witnessing for Jesus? A lazy Christian is a dead Christian. If you don't bear good fruit then you will be cut down. Just think of all the lives that you could have lead to the Lord if you had only spoken of Him!!!

I just turned 60 on this 5th of Jan 2019 I know that there are multiple millions of women who are not only smarter but some are way smarter than I am, in 7th grade, I got my first taste of Algebra and I failed it badly. the higher math was very hard for me, even converting fractions to decimals and vice versa. there are women who are physicists, chemists, Doctors, lawyers, electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, name the profession and women are just as smart and capable as men, women who hold the same credentials as men should be paid the same as men. there are women who are physically stronger than me, I have RA really bad so my strength is nowhere near what it used to be. God is the one who set the bounds in the Church. Co 14:33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 1Co 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 1Co 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. 1Co 14:36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? 1Co 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 1Ti 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 1Ti 2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 1Ti 2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 1Ti 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 1Ti 2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 1Ti 2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 1Ti 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. 1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 1Ti 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 1Ti 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 1Ti 3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 1Ti 3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 1Ti 3:9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 1Ti 3:10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 1Ti 3:11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 1Ti 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 1Ti 3:13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus. Tit 1:1 Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; Tit 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began; Tit 1:3 But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour; Tit 1:4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. Tit 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee: Tit 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly. Tit 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre; Tit 1:8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy, temperate; Tit 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. the qualification of the Bishop (pastor/preacher) and the Deacon are to be the Husband of one wife. there is no way that a woman can be the husband of one wife. not to mention the fact that the Commandments of the Lord specify that women are to be in SILENCE in the Church. go back and read 1 Sam 15:1-26 Saul the King of Israel is rejected from being King because he rejected the Word of the Lord 1Sa 15:23 For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king. 1Sa 15:26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I will not return with thee: for thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD hath rejected thee from being king over Israel. this is a lesson for us even today, that if we reject the Word of God we too will be rejected. those women who are preaching, teaching and pastoring churches with men in them are rejecting the Word of God to do their will in His Name. How serious is God concerning His Word? Psa 138:2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Deu 4:2 Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish aught from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Deu 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. Deu 17:11 According to the sentence of the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do: thou shalt not decline from the sentence which they shall shew thee, to the right hand, nor to the left. Ezr 6:11 Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this. Pro 30:6 Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Jer 23:36 And the burden of the LORD shall ye mention no more: for every man's word shall be his burden; for ye have perverted the words of the living God, of the LORD of hosts our God. Jer 26:2 Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD'S house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD'S house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word: Rom 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. 2Co 2:17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. 2Co 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2Pe 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other Scriptures, unto their own destruction. Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. God does not like it when His Word is added too, Diminished aught from or changed in any way. if you reject the Word of God then you too will be rejected.

He did not and will not break His covenant with them and there is a great place for them in the future. They are going back to the land as we speak, predicted in the prophets.

@@bhilldesign I've actually been looking into this a lot more since I wrote my first comment and I got more context to it. From other explanations I've read, the church in Ephesus had members who used to worship the goddess Artemis, and in their mythology, Artemis was born first then she helped birth her twin brother Apollo. So because of that they glorified women to the point where they elevated them above men. The Greek word used in that Scripture that's translated to 'authority' was referring to an aggressive and domineering kind of authority. So essentially, women in the Ephesian church were preaching in a way that they were being domineering over men. Paul was speaking against a gender hierarchy that makes one gender "superior" to another because that's not even godly. And it's also valid the other way round if you think about it. So it all adds up the way I see it, even with Pastor John's explanation about not doing things in a way that goes against the order God put in place. Plus, we're all constantly learning and re-learning God's word, so we should give people we don't agree with grace to grow in their knowledge and understanding of of the Scriptures.

@@ms.playboyinternational393 The word " abomination" may be too strong a descriptive, " For who hath known the mind of God?" (Rom. 11:34a). The clear teaching of the Apostle Paul who received revelational instructions from The Almighty is that women are to learn in silence (1 Tim. 2:11,12) and that "...if a man desire the office of a bishop (elder/presbyter/pastor), HE (emphasis mine) desireth a good work." Nowhere in Scripture is a woman given God's approval to preach/teach within the ordained office of a pastor or evangelist. However, mature women may teach younger women as per Titus 2:3. If a woman assumes the role of preaching that is clearly restricted to men, she does so in contravention of the Lord's unequivocal instructions.

@@troywright359 There have been many circumstances on the mission field where willing, qualified men were unavailable to teach the heathen tribes and so available women with Bible knowledge and language skills were asked to stand in their place -- to teach any and all who have "ears to hear." In these less than ideal situations I am sure that God would not have deemed their service to be a sin or abomination. Any such abomination would certainly apply to gifted men who have failed to heed the call of God and engage in teaching God's Word as He has ordained. In North America where there are plenty of available men to teach other men God's Word, we can assume that any woman who takes the role of a pastor/presbyter/bishop is clearly not "sent" by God but "went" instead. That's an abomination. But on the mission field it's not always so clearly black and white.

He is not speaking about all Christian men, only those who were praying with unresolved anger issues and quarrels, and Paul offers correction to their behaviour. ~ In 1 Timothy 2:9-10, Paul addresses the problem of specific women, certain rich women who were wearing luxurious hairstyles, jewels and clothing. These two verses do not refer to all Christian women, only to those who were showing off their wealth, and Paul offers correction. ~ In 1 Timothy 2:11-15, Paul narrows his focus to the problem behaviour of one of these rich women. This woman was not ready to teach-she needed to learn quietly-and she was acting in a domineering or controlling manner (Greek: authenteõ) towards a man, most likely her husband. Her controlling behaviour may have stemmed from a concern about the effects of sex and procreation on salvation, a not uncommon concern in the early church.

I enjoyed this listen. The thing I can appreciate about this, is that in the past, Piper has spoken about his mum being the spiritual head/authority in his home while his dad was away preaching. Once his father came home, his mom happily returned the responsibility to his Dad. That, for me, pretty much sums it up. If there are men present to lead, let them lead. That's with home and church. Biblically speaking, there are examples in the Bible where women led men. Deborah is the first example that comes to mind. She governed the nation of Israel. Before her, Miriam led the Israelites, men and women in praise after they had crossed the red sea and in the New Testament, Priscilla taught the scriptures to men and women in her home along with her husband. Both of these are examples of Church Leadership. I'm not thrown by what Piper has said...but that may be because I know some more of the background or context where this couched. I would agree though, the audio in this video needs added clarification. Which is why he mentioned the available literature on Desiring God website.

@DyingToLiveForJesus Lol. So you rely on an English translation of an ancient Greek manuscript and then expect to correctly translate it with a foreign cultural lens? In the Greek, Ephesians 5:22 makes no sense without 5:21 (“submit to one another”). This is because verse 22 borrows the sense of “submit” from verse 21. There is no verb or participle that means “submit” in verse 22 in some of the oldest Greek manuscripts. It was not unusual for Paul to make verbs and verbal ideas do double duty. What this does is create a sense of mutual submission. Husbands arent told to "lead" like Christ -theyre told to love their wives like Christ. Women in that culture were already fully "submitting" to their husbands -they were considered their property. Paul is proposing a radical reconfigurement of marriage. Again, give me a single scripture where men are told to lead.

Scripture doesn't say that they taught together. It says that there was a church in their home. There's a difference. Now, Priscilla and Aquila privately invited someone to their home and explained the Scripture more thoroughly to him, but again, this doesn't say that they preached together. Explaining Scripture to someone is not the same thing as standing in the pulpit preaching to the entire congregation. People want to extrapolate this because women want to preach. I have also heard women justify this because they have the gift of teaching. Scripture doesn't say that you can't use your gift appropriately. There are a lot of areas a woman can use this gift: leading a small women's group, teaching an all-women's Sunday School class, witnessing to people on the street. None of those are a violation of God's Word. Standing in a pulpit teaching men is not an appropriate use of that gift. We cannot allow the culture to influence our interpretation of God's Word.

The preaching issue is low-hanging fruit in some ways, as the issue branches out to all the various meetings of God's people. Elders and godly men need to lead in all gatherings, like the prayer meetings and even times of fellowship. I went to a prayer meeting for the second time last night, and after bringing up the need for an elder or godly man to lead she gave her "defense" that she has a gift of prayer, and that she puts herself under the authority of the senior pastor. Somehow her "gift" and lip service to a compromising pastor is sufficient. Long story short, I didn't know until I said bye that the silent man nearby her was her husband. Where are the men? We are being judged in many ways because of the weak men in God's house.

By my understanding there is an awful lot in the old testament that doesn't fit with God's model for how we should live, but for reasons I don't fully understand there is no comment on it being wrong, examples are things like Jacob having 2 wives and then also having children with their servants, or Solomon having many wives and concubines. Sorry this isn't a great answer, but it's a step to open our eyes to the wider narrative of the bible. As knowledge increases it seems at first you find inconsistencies, then you resolve them, and then the same thing happens all over again.

Hi Zahira, being a judge in Israel was akin to being a judge in a court of law today. Deborah functioned as one who resided over disputes in a court of law. That isn't the same as having oversight in a church fellowship and responsibility before God for teaching doctrine. Deborah in the OT was not a Levite priest and therefore would never have taught doctrine over Israel (i.e. the Mosaic law at that time). :-)

Sorry that I missed your initial response, Jade. Luckily someone else shared in your curiosity! Hi Paige! It’s nice to revisit this moment. It’s been a long time since I heard Piper speak. He was really a big part of my life in this season of my life. Anyways, here is my response to your question: Men and women were made “differently,” not “hierarchically” as society has often perceived and portrayed this difference. In fact, society always takes difference hierarchically, when that is not why difference or diversity exists-race and racism being the greatest example. White and black ARE different, but neither is superior. Each race is gloriously made because both races are eligible to have faith in Jesus Christ and enter the Promise of God. In regard to ministry, as Piper explains, women not becoming pastors is not a matter of competence; women were made in their own unique, god-given way, not in order to form a hierarchy but by the favor of God. This uniqueness precedes the Fall. Satan took advantage of this uniqueness in the Garden seeing that Adam was already starting to fail in his position as head. Like with the body, people often glorify the major parts, not realizing that the lesser parts are just as important. They are not “lesser” just as women are not lesser; they are merely different and serve different functions, but each function has its own glory, not hierarchically but uniquely and equally favored by God. Random fact: ever heard the phrase-“I feel it in my gut?” That phrase came from people’s belief that the heart was in the stomach. Science emerged and showed us that the heart is in our chests. Does this make the stomach less important for the body? No... the stomach is still glorious in its own way just as the heart is glorious in its own way. Both were made by God with favor.. who can deny that women are absolutely glorious! More glorious than men in so many ways, but still this is not meant to be perceived hierarchically like some branches of feminism view this or how general chauvinism views it... anyways, I hope I answered your question, and I hope it touches on the deeper questions you might be asking yourself. I pray that you receive the love that God is abundantly pouring out to you today. Cheers!

Jade Lee Not “okay...” actually. We both understand what “okay” means in the context you used it. It means whatever I say or however I answer, if it does not fit your agenda, it will not appease you. Not “okay....” You should have typed “amen.” To be a woman is a gift just as to be a man. All that is associated with being a man or a woman comes with the gift. That’s “amen,” not “ok...” Women are called to service and they excel at it exponentially better than men. Service IS leadership, more than you realize I guess based on your response. Service is equally important to ministry, and in some regards, more important. Yup, some women are infertile or don’t want babies. Some men are impotent or don’t want babies. Some men want to be in ministry, but most don’t. That is not about difference as much as it is simply about personal choice, calling, and/or the hand that a person is dealt. What are men blocked from? Virtually nothing, but this doesn’t make it “unfair.” They are parts of being a woman than men can never experience. That doesn’t make women more privileged either. Each is blessed in their own ways.

It requires so much explanation, as Paul also says women should “prophesy” with their head covered… this happens in a public setting of combined congregation and holds a level of authority and teaching with men present and Paul is affirming women in this. Clearly, this passage cannot simply mean “women be completely quiet”.

But for those of you who really believe this is the order remember God will judge leaders more harshly and that is part of why I would never want to be a leader. However, I believe God can do what He wants. He chose Deborah and Esther. I say this not to argue, but to express my studying on this topic. I must wrestle with what the Bible says for myself.

If you die in your sins, you will end up in a terrible place called Hell. But there's good news. Though we broke God's Law, Jesus paid the fine by dying on the cross: "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life" (Jn. 3:16). Then Jesus rose from the dead and was seen by hundreds of eyewitnesses. He fulfilled all the prophecies of the promised Savior.

Somehow I don’t think “teaching” establishes final “authority” over anyone let alone men. Rather, ones ability to teach demonstrates ones ability to potentially influence, whether good or bad. Any man that has been married for a length of time can testify how his wife does influence not just the children but also himself. The responsibility rest not solely on the “influencer” but on those who are potentially influenced. However, one could argue against that when it comes to children being influenced. They for a time have no choice to logically process what is being taught, but rather, they naturally take in what they’re exposed to. With that said, yes the “man” (husband /father) is the final resting place for ultimate responsibility as seen in genesis 3. What is being taught to his wife, his children as well as what is he taking in that is potentially influencing his and his family’s identity. I think at the end of the day leadership is not as much of an authority as much as it is a “responsibility”. Leadership that is in a position of authority is ultimately held responsible for lessons, decisions and choices that effect that sphere they are responsible too.

Before I was a Christian I felt that this scripture was sexist but through getting to know scripture and God it becomes abundantly clear that God knows what is best for us because He designed us. This does not make us women second-class citizens. Think of it as people within a company who each have their own specific job they were trained for. As a woman I have been designed to be more emotional than the typical male. That's what helps me to be a more compassionate mother who is sensitive her to childrens' needs and fragile spirits. It's not a bad thing at all and it is one of the things that makes me a great caretaker both in the home and in my career.

So where in the body of Christ is room for a woman who chooses to remain unwed and not bear children or for infertile women? Do you believe female terminal value is in marriage and motherhood? Whereas men have potential far beyond that and receive a spouse and children as an add-on blessing . . . But for women it's their whole value?

We are in a time of transition in our church. I'm quite new to it, so I don't know the exact structures earlier, it's possible there was a time when there were not multiple elders and the sole elder was the male pastor. We now have three male elders, but no paid staff, thus it's hard for the preaching/teaching needs to be met. All invited speakers are male, but there are the occassional times when a women in the church will teach the whole church and yet it always remains clear that the leadership/authority is with those three men. We are small, but we reach a geographical area no one else is reaching, it is a deprived area and many to not have cars and there is minimal public transport on a Sunday morning to access other churches. I don't think any of those women are teaching out of a belief that they have the God given authority to do so, rather out of humble service to the church that desperately needs to hear the bible taught. I was very uncomfortable with it at first but having discussed it with some of those woman I see it as a non ideal but necessary phase in our church life as the church continues to live and grow after the departure of it's long term pastor, also called John, with a similarly long ministry at the church as John Piper and BBC. As a small church in a deprived neighbourhood we don't have the luxury of an ideal transition. There are many times in the bible where things we know to be not God's design happen without comment, some use them as examples to try and present God's design differently, I don't believe this is the case, but it is an ongoing struggle to understand these situations within the narrative of the bible.

Obviously connected to chapter one, but not so far gone as to have her leave. He speaks to her as a teacher to a student in the Greek to learn quietly and peaceable. Eve is referenced in connection to her current position and if she takes this humble instruction she, like Eve will be saved through "The Child Birth" (that is a title in the Greek not a verb)…Jesus!"

Could this be the Christ?” 30 Then they went out of the city and came to Him. She was Preaching the Gospel. God sometimes chooses a woman if the man fail to do it. Philippians 4:2-3 I entreat Euodia and I entreat Syntyche to agree in the Lord. Yes, I ask you also, true companion, help these women, who have labored side by side with me in the gospel together with Clement and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

What breaks my heart is when I see commentary notes in Study Bibles which are not at all theological and toward women in the usual verses 1 Cor 14:34 and 1 Tim 2:12-15. It is clear they never point out scholarly Greek facts which they obviously know if they count themselves to be scholars of the Word--but they use the space to declare their biased views instead. In my opinion, good theological notes would be, for example, women/wives and woman/wife are the same Greek words; likewise, men/husbands and man/husband are the same Greek words. I could also say Eph 4:8 where it often says "men" at the end of the verse, actually means "human beings/mankind", and that would be "end of story"...pertaining to the verses that follow as far as distribution of gifts. However, the truth is pertaining to the declaration as far as me being a literalist in my own thinking...the word "silent" in church per 1 Cor 14:34, is obviously reinterpreted as people think best--such as it is acceptable for a woman to do this or that but not this type of thing in church--bypassing the blanket statement "silent" for their own interpretation of it. However, the thing is, Jesus called church A House of Prayer, and we are to not cease from praying. If people believe what Jesus said, people must then rightly divide the Word of God. And to the best of my knowledge culturally speaking...in that church of that time, per what I actually did read in a study note years ago was that the women were with the children in the balcony. Therefore, in "their new found freedom" were calling down to their husbands with questions. Paul was saying to these "wives" ask your husbands at home. (I have found no other possibility more convincing in light of the entire Word of God.) Also, in 1 Tim 2:12-15, the "man" there likely is "husband" (and is NOT plural as some translations like to redefine it), and even more, according the Thayer's Greek definition, to "usurp authority" in Ancient Greek meant to "kill someone with their own hands". I have no idea how people can conclude that women can teach boys/girls and women in these passages as it would be insane/ridiculous to conclude that a boy grows up and the mother can't teach their child any longer? To a woman I am sure this is insanity as they taught them growing up. It is completely ridiculous. These passages are about marriage, and it talks about childbirth at the end of this Chapter. I do know there are eight Greek words for the word teach, and I do know some people believe this could mean, "do not teach a husband a thing or two (as in derogatory) and do not kill their husbands in the same type of derogatory meaning". But to be honest, since Greek lacks punctuation, I sometimes wonder about the translation as inbetween the "teach" and "usurp" is a "moreover" word. A question to be asked in light of the way this verse is often translated is why bother allowing a woman to learn if it is never to be used? This also sounds like a very poor interpretation that some people make on it. A lot of Scripture gets bypassed, even where Jesus said to go into the world and teach disciples. Or the forgotten meaning behind 1 Cor 11:5. Or if men never listen to women, how will anyone ever listen to the women mentioned in Acts 2;17-18? But even more, one day many years ago, I asked the Lord Jesus--why were all these verses basically translated the same way in translations? And the Lord Jesus gave me one word, "persecution". And I was profoundly amazed. I realized it could mean two things because marriage is a parallel to Jesus the Head and the Body/Bride of Christ--therefore, it could in a deeper layer in the Bible mean "the persecuted church", but I also perceived it was like "woe" to those that persecute their own.

The thing is, for me...it has been "relationship with Jesus"...and you know what? I have always, utterly always, been surprised by what Jesus has told me. This is where Truth and Revelation is. Decades ago, people called the Bible a Love Letter from God. Do you realize that you can have a relationship with God? HE made you. HE loves you. HE makes your body to have eternal life the moment you believed and you became a Temple of God, where the Jesus, the Holy Spirit, can live. I do not mean to downplay the Bible at all, but trying to show you the contrast between a real relationship and the Letter of Love. And yes, how would we ever know the Love of God without hearing it preached? I also refer to the Bible that tells us. Also, please know that the Lord Jesus preserved His Word in so many ways, and it was the persecuted who God used to send all these manuscripts to the world where they were later used to be catalogued, weighed, and compilations made and so much where comparisons could be made and affirm His Truth. I understand there are close to 6,000 New Testament manuscript antiquities including fragments. I highly recommend to anyone to get Greek and Hebrew interlinears and software with Strongs and Thayer's definitions and others and often these software packages have so much more as well.

@@Elkwoman46 Thank you for the thoughtful response but my qualms are not with those contested passages . . . .its what they imply in terms of reference to the very creation of mankind. The argument is that men alone were created in the image of God to bear his glory and dominion over the earth. Their superior physical strength and speed attests to that because those are the traits most suited to that purpose. Women were made for men, for their glory and not God's. Women were made significantly physically weaker than men and I understand that men were supposed to protect women but if God knew that sin would create a world of violence, he would know how disproportionately women would be on the receiving end of that violence and pain and he STILL chose to give us the physical disadvantage despite being more vulnerable as the result of the curse pronounced at Eden. That along with a clear male preference throughout the bible . . . I cannot describe to you how that makes me feel. It makes me feel so incredibly worthless and unloved. It makes me hate my body just for being female. It makes me feel like I am nothing more than an add-on gift to men and like I'm not a whole person. Like God would rather deal with and fellowship with men. It makes me want to hate God. I feel like an outsider because the entire Godhead and angels are all male. Like there is an inherent quality of grandeur they all have that I cannot partake in. I didnt ask to be female. I've tried praying about it but nothing happens and I just end up not wanting to pray at all because it now feels as of there is some barrier between me and God.

However, I see some people who live by one translation and nothing else, take each phrase literally, and get into a lot of trouble in their viewpoints. A great example is where Jesus in Matthew 23 tells us not to call anyone Master, Teacher, Father. I know some people who try to live this. But who is kidding who? Most every mama is a teacher. All fathers are fathers, even if people change that to “dad”--trying to avoid the use of "Father". Jesus, I believe, was trying to protect us. Consider this whole passage is about those who were in leadership doing it wrong. In the New Testament Paul speaks a lot about titles and roles, such as in Eph. 4. It is my opinion--but I believe all the titles in the Christian faith are about “servant” roles. Not about “lording it over” roles. For that is what Jesus said about who wants to be the head is the servant of all, right? Also, to mention your comment about male angels…Jesus said we would be like angels in Heaven and not given to marriage there. I do not believe angels are female or male. But as far as what Jesus said, I understand angels mean messengers. Is that actually what Jesus was saying? Would we become messengers? Possible. But here is the thing, about deeper layers in the Bible. In recent times, someone had said that figuratively, Adam and Jesus both were put to sleep. This had opened my eyes so much. Out of Adam came human beings and out of Jesus came the Body of Christ. Did you know that Jesus the Head and the Body of Christ is a picture and parallel of marriage? But consider this…two places in the Bible where it says basically Adam is a type of Christ. Due to this amazing thing in the Bible, go to Genesis and wherever it says Adam or refers to him, replace it with Jesus, and the same with Eve or referring to her, replace it with the Body of Christ. Do not use the ESV for this per that passage where it says “contrary”…most Bibles have the word “desire” there. I am convinced that this is not a prophetic new wording due to the times we live in, as the Lord Jesus does not change. But if it were to be viewed as how it is now, it is very sad. That is not in most Bibles. But this will, hopefully, help you to see more of what is going on in the deeper layer and meaning. And Gen 1:27 that Hebrew name for man means both male and female. There are also cases in the NT where man could mean human beings just like in Eph 4:8. There are "different" Greek words for man/husband and woman/wife. I can say a lot more about these things, but due to firstborn and inheritance laws of the Old Testament, in the New Testament, women are also called Brethren/brothers. I would embrace it most awesomely-for women are included in the inheritance.. And saving one of the most awesome for now….just consider this….we believers are ALL called The Bride of Christ. The Bride. Yes, the Bride. So, we are all called Brethren and Bride. And is not "Bride" for the eternity to come? Something to ponder.

@@Elkwoman46 That's the scary part -as I've been looking to answers I've found that there are actually many women who have been pushed away from their faith because of this issue. They feel that the bible is not for them, they are clearly not the intended audience but merely participants by proxy of men. If gender will ultimately no longer factor into our eternity and if we are all the bride of Christ then why is there so much spiritual value seemingly attached to it? We have only a promise of that eternity but this is all our reality right now. It feels like if I carry on then I just have to accept that as a woman I am not directly under Christ or directly made in the image of my creator. God places restrictions on women that there are not on men, there isnt a single calling for his purpose that is specific for women that men are prohibited from. Maybe my sensibilities are too modern but that does seem like equal value to me. It would be one thing if there was a role in Gods kingdom that only women could occupy . . . But there isnt. That is part of what makes me feel like God holds women at arm's length. Childbearing for example is always the one "privilege" women are said to have that men do not, but even so conception is not possible without a man. His seed determines the gender for example. And there are women who are infertile so what comfort is that to them? This is one of the most comprehensive accounts of the creation story I have read and this is what it says: www.9marks.org/article/man-and-woman-in-creation-genesis-1-and-2/ It is quite lengthy but please read it. I don't care about titles and roles, it's the implication that because women are so limited in their designated roles that God doesnt really want to work through them. The bible is a prime example of God mainly using men. The fact that women have to dig deeper find examples of God using or speaking to women that doesnt include giving birth or marrying men is disheartening. It's like men are made for so much spiritual potential where women are cut off at the knees. Even the hierarchy of God-Christ-Man-Woman. We're only there by proxy of man. I know of the parallel between marriage and Christ's relationship with the church. The man is seen as the santifying husband and the wife is the thing that needs sanctifying. I know it probably is not meant to be taken literally as every man is pure as Christ and every women is filthy but Paul and Peter do extol women to submit to their husbands as to their lord. And at least in my mind, this adds another layer between women and God. The fact that there is such a focused image of the father-son relation which is why men are God's image and women are not (the Hebrew word is apparently more accurately translated to that one singular man and the link I sent explains it further) also speaks volumes. Theres no place for daughters. And the more I write the more sure I am that I don't want to do this anymore. I dont know what will happen to my soul. I thought I was truly saved but maybe I never was. And if I was I have no clue as to what happens if I no longer choose to actively grow in my faith. I accept Christ as my Lord and saviour. But that's it. I dont want anything else, I do not even look forward to spending an eternity in heaven (if I get there) and would rather cease to exist altogether but I know that probably will not happen. I just wish I wasn't born in the first place.

This is talking about a church setting and we (women) are to learn in silence. We are also watchmen/women on the wall and if someone is not understanding something and especially if it's a matter of salvation then something must be said in love and respect.

It is good that this interesting video presentation has sparked a lively debate. As I have said, I believe that Paul's comments in 1 Timothy are referring to that place and that time. They are not universal. Other Christians have posted on here that all that Paul writes about worship is to be seen as universal, otherwise why would God inspire him to write it? That is at least clear. Such people see me as having a watered down Christianity. It should be easy to identify these fundamentalists and their churches. Paul commands the raising of hands in prayer (1 Timothy 2:8) and the greeting of one another with a holy kiss (Romans 16:16) so these Christians must be worshipping in these ways, which are highly distinctive. I used to attend a conservative evangelical church. It was the nauseating hypocrisy that I could not stomach in the end. Why was I a watered down Christian yet it was OK for them to ignore much of the Sermon on the Mount or Jesus' radical teachings on wealth. Anyone arguing that all of Paul's instructions on worship are universal cannot pick and choose to suit himself or herself. Otherwise, that Christian is the grossest of hypocrites. Blessings to all.

+David Kennedy It seems to me that this OT law in Leviticus 18:22 that prohibits homosexuality and carry the death penalty apply to ancient Israel. Why do several traditional Christians lift it from its setting and apply it to us today? Why do we cherry pick some of these laws from an ancient culture and desire to follow them today? I note that you have moved away from fundamentalism, so how do you view the bible? Is it the infallible, inerrant Word of God to you? If yes, how does that fit in with Jesus as the Word of God especially if you encounter some incompatibility?

What is the difference between prophesying and preaching?
@s.m.3423
@s.m.3423 3 года назад
Prophesying = what thus says the Lord like Isaiah, Joel, etc. Preaching is expounding on or teaching what the Word of God says. The issue in this video is being the pastor/shepherd to a congregation of men and women. As a woman, you can preach/teach other women. In church though, God is not allowing us women to be in a governmental position i.e pastor/shepherd as that is like being a father and it should be by a man as the head per scripture.
