Can women be pastors? What does the Bible say about women pastors? -Got Questions Podcast Episode 50 

Nice...was very knowledgeable..thankyou so much

If we change Gods divine word, then what are we doing, rewriting it? From Genesis throughout the Bible God is very clear in his instructions.

So to understand this correctly "a woman shouldn't be preaching"?

I'm saddened by the path many churches are on but the Word said to expect it. So blessed by saints standing up in the mist of cultural Christianity. I pray more would speak out because it feels like the faithful few are not being seen or heard and when we do....a break happens in the body.

Jesus IS The Spirit of Prophecy. Women are biblically confirmed ( affirmed ) to be prophetesses. As a man hears a woman prophecy ING there is through The Holy Spirit a teaching AND instruction component and receiving Yahweh's Truth. This is why we *must* rightfully divide the Word of Truth and seek through The Living Word as though we are seeking treasure. Diligence, continued growth will have many revisit the Living Word and take a much more deep look into what is being taught. Flesh and blood will not inherit The Kingdom of God. Spiritual discernment is an ongoing process. Salvation is not only a one moment event. We are saved, we are being saved and we will be saved. Amazing! Shalom and blessings to you and yours as you abide richly in Jesus. -Bryan

Can never be said better. Thank you.

People should NOT discuss this, but reading their Bible. It is written by God Himself: "If you don't understand something, ask ME, and I will answer you". Only people who have been baptized like Jesus, completely under water, and received the Holy Spirit, can understand this.

A woman must submit herself to her husband as to the Lord. Nowhere does it say otherwise, the only time she can go against his final command is if it goes against the will of God.

@@BobbiJoGeho wise respond,God bless you more.

The letter of the law kills. The Spirit of the law is breath and life and living water. I know many who believe women can teach men and that the head of a church ideally ( God's perfect will ) should be a man. This is confirmed by The Holy Spirit and a deep dive through ALL scriptures ( an exhaustive study ). Women ( who are humble(d) and obedient are going to be used mightily in these final moments. Jesus will be glorified. Flesh and blood will not inherit The Kingdom of God. Galatians chapter 3 is about salvation say those who are resolute that women are to remain silent. I am saved. I am being saved. I WILL be saved. You may buy a gun for self defense and even practice at a shooting range. I may wield His Living Word as my sword. Am I wrong to have faith in this way? Are you wrong to prepare to defend yourself in a natural way? Neither are wrong. The whole focus of women's roles is not quite discussed in the right way. With maturity comes into focus ( through The Spirit and with Jesus as head ) the right thoughts. Mary at Jesus feet, how does Jesus address her? Have you looked it up in the Greek? Who is an apostle to the apostles after Jesus resurrection? Revealed Truth through maturing IN Jesus Messiah. Shalom, Bryan

What about the passages that mention women prophetesses? Paul acknowledges they exists and speaks of some by name. These women spoke in church and their words- coming from God through the Holy Spirit were to be accepted as authoritative by men and women.

@@alparkes6084 teaching and prophesying are not the same thing. Women prophets are referenced in the old and new testaments. However, if being able to prophesy could replace teaching, then we wouldn't need two separate words for them. All that to say, prophesying by women is totally acceptable, but teaching men in the church isn't.

Laughable!! 😂

Most enlightening comment on this page... thank you Bryan

such topic is all about creation.. not about womens role in the church..

They weren't pastors of a church.

Good point

Deborah the Judge came about 1100 years before Paul. A Judge was a spiritual leader. God ruled Israel through Deborah (and the other Judges). My short essay on her can be posted, should there be real interest.

@@JLMISR yes she did

@@user-iz8np3vv4i I heard a great study on that, and bottom line was, it wasn't supposed to be that way, just like other things that happened that were done wrong, yet God always turns things that went wrong to turning out right in the end for HIs glory, remember the guy who was supposed to conquer the enemy and he chickened out, and he was told, well, it will go down in history that a woman won this fight cause of you being a scaredy cat!!!

@@JLMISR A complementarian MUST try to discredit a woman being a Judge over Israel. I suspect you heard "... it wasn't supposed to be that way..." from someone with those false beliefs. If you want a real study at some point in the future, I can paste up my essay. It includes scripture and commentary.

@@user-iz8np3vv4i do yourself a favor, read your Bible.......and take it to God!!!!! He wrote it!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant insight. Most underrated comment...

Such a well written insight - thank you!

@@lindamariusministries8313 No doubt that in Christ Jesus everyone is equal but with regards to roles and responsibilities and not who is bigger or greater God has made man and not woman as the head of the family similarly Man is physically, emotionally , spiritually etc more capable to handle the responsibility of the bigger family (church).

"... a mother in Israel." -excerpt Judges 5 referring to Deborah the judge and prophetess. I suggest Judges 4 (and 5). Also know that a judge, according to scripture, had the authority to execute men. And there was no appeal to a judge's decision.

Deborah was a wife and mother. The Judges are described in scripture as pastors.

No, there is no condemnation found in scripture for permitting women to preach teach or lead God's people. All flesh will be destroyed, but the reborn Spirit is reunited with God after this life, irrespective of physical gender :)

@@lancemarchetti8673, if you don’t do God’s commandment then you’re sinning, so that’s it

I suggest my short and free essay on Deborah. Men and women are perfectly equal spiritually. She was a pastor, according to the scriptures. This is how the Judges are described in Chronicles. To say a woman can be a Judge over Israel, but a woman can't be an elder in a small church, just doesn't make any sense scripturally.

@@Kh-7777 Pastors/shepherds existed in the Old Covenant and are mentioned in multiple books. The Judges were pastors/shepherds. Including Deborah.

[PASTOR - Origin: late Middle English: from Anglo-Norman French pastour, from Latin pastor ‘shepherd’.] In all places where I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ -excerpt 1 Chronicles 17 verse 6 NASB translation Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning, and since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. -excerpt 1 Chronicles 17 verses 9 and 10 KJV -God speaking to Nathan the prophet ******************************** When the shepherd over Israel died, the people went back into sin. That is because the Judge was the most important spiritual leader of this time period. But it came about, when the judge died, that they would turn back and act more corruptly than their fathers, in following other gods to serve them and bow down to them; they did not abandon their practices or their obstinate ways. -excerpt Judges 2

Churches do come from that vantage point. Women get to make the refreshments, teach Sunday School, minister to other women in the church, supervise youth groups, clean the church, bring the flowers from their garden, take the donation plate around etc. We get the practical stuff and men get to stand around and talk, preach, offer the bread and wine and enjoy the refreshments. No worries, the women will clean up afterwards. It's designed because in OT times women were treated like domestic cattle or house pets. The men had the authority to marry their young women off to whomever the men thought was a good deal. Read Esters story. She was offered as a bride to a king and eventually saved her people once a queen but she had no say in it. This attitude carried over into Christianity because men considered themselves superior. The Bible was transcribed by men. When the KJV was written the translators unknowingly wrote the misogyny of their time into it.

That women is of the devil....

Snake*

Yes there's also Tabitha who was raised from the dead for all her good deeds, and Anna the prophetess who stayed before the Lord night and day with prayer and fastings. There's a list of 100 things that a woman can do besides that of what only men can do. And I'm a woman. We should have prayer meetings and guard the church bombarding heaven with prayers for the lost and new sheep, we can visit thewidows and orphans in their time of trouble, make food for the poor of their community help the single and unwed mothers help them train their kids up in God obeying scripture heck I can think of 1000 things a woman can do, make blankets for the poor via a sewing circle, visit the sick and shut-in. Make welcome packages for new members and visitors have prayer meetings lifting up the man of God for their church and pray for their communities and pray for the entire pastoral staff. And the list goes on

Good question

@@m.brelly6691 M.Brelly and Marco B I wrote a short essay on Deborah should either of you have real interest.

Deborah is not a Pastor.

@@boivargas5247 Yes she was, during the Old Covenant. From my short essay on Deborah: ...I commanded to feed my people... Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars? -excerpt 1 Chronicles 17 verse 6 KJV Major modern English translations like the NASB use the phrasing ...whom I commanded to shepherd My people...

I asked my pastor and the Lord anointed Deborah as the judge of the time as there was not a single man good enough in the Lord's eyes and that showed how far from God the people had come. My pastor said if a woman is a pastor teaching over men it should be until a suitable man has been raised and the female pastor should be looking to step into another role that is not teaching over men but as they have a gift of pastoring adapt to teaching in womens or childrens ministry. Hope this helps as it did for me.

Written for Israel during the tribulation

The perfect text in joel. Prophecy means to preach. The Bible also states that with God there is no male or female. The Word of God must be preached and God can use male or female.

To Israel during the trib, not church

1 Cor 14:1 is for all to prophesy!

A woman could only be given the authority by God to execute a man for his sin, if women are spiritually equal to men. I suggest my short and free essay on Deborah. Men and women are perfectly equal spiritually. She was a pastor, according to the scriptures. This is how the Judges are described in Chronicles. A Judge was the most important spiritual leader of that time period according to scripture. When a Judge died the people went back to their sinful ways. To say a woman can be a Judge over Israel, but a woman can't be an elder in a small church, just doesn't make any sense scripturally.

Deborah was an exception, NOT the rule and she was the ONLY woman made judge in over 300 years. This was to be a shock to all who saw it as there were no men to be found. If God cannot find the proper man (one that is not a coward or weak as society is more than happy to have nowadays) he uses a woman. In many instances it is a judgement on the people. Deborah is also introduced under Lappidoth's authority (who was her husband). God was shaming the men by giving this position to a woman. So, no, this does not give an open door to women ruling over men, which includes pastoring.

@@ConcernedONETOO you wrote: If God cannot find the proper man (one that is not a coward or weak as society is more than happy to have nowadays) he uses a woman. There is nothing in Judges 4 and 5 about God looking for a man. There was no gender qualification to be a Judge over Israel. The Judges were pastors/shepherds. God speaking below: Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars? -excerpt 1 Chronicles 17 verse 6 KJV Major modern English translations like the NASB use the phrasing ...whom I commanded to shepherd My people...

Men and women are spiritually equal. That is an important thing to understand. I post on women's matters. Reply if desired.

It means she does not lead preach nor gossip singing and praying only allowed

Yea I gotta say, it just doesn't sound like Christ. And reading that quote from Timothy where it says because Adam wasn't deceived - but he was, he did also eat the fruit. So it feels like there is more to reflect on here.

Forbidden women to teach as per Timothy 1st chapter 2 is the word of Apostle Paul not God

The decision to conceive is masculine? Not mutual?? Can you think of the implications of that???

@@watcherwlc53 A man can rape a woman to cause her to get pregnant. This is not ethical as a responsible man is supposed to get married to the woman first. The marriage decision is supposed to be a mutual and bilateral. The wife's role is more passive in conception and then more active afterwards as she can cause the pregnancy to end before the time of child birth. The man MUST(*) be willing to provide the sperm, which implies that he cannot claim the pregnancy was not his decision. OTOH, the woman's passive role means it was not her decision to get pregnant, but she accepted his decision to get her pregnant. A woman's unilateral decision to abort is much like the man's unilateral decision to start the pregnancy. *It seems possible the man could be unconscious and the sperm removed from him with a needle, or he was forced to have sex through a loaded gun being placed next to his head, but unless this was how the pregnancy started, he is the more responsible one for the conception.

@@watcherwlc53 In addition to my statements about it is the man's decision to start the pregnancy, I think it is important to add that the complimentary male and female reproductive roles are likened to the complimentary roles of physician and pharmacist in the curing of diseases. The ultimate decision to eat the pills is done by the patient. For controlled substances, he needs a prescription from a medical advisor who is separate from the producer and seller of pills. The writer of the prescriptions must represent the objectives of good health rather than the objectives of feeling good. Likewise, the pastors who marry persons to ethically permit human conception must represent the responsibilities of the sex that makes the conception decision. Therefore, the job of pastor is masculine.

You want to tell me that a woman Pastor will be lost when Christ comes?

What the name of the church? I’m guessing it’s a charismatic church. The reason your confused that they now call themselves Apostles is because it looks like someone is telling you to get the *()$+=:,’dc out of there.

If any church pastor deacon or evangelist calls themselves an Apostle run the last Apostle died on Patmos An Apostle had to be appointed by Jesus or elected by one of the remaining eleven this is as bad as someone saying we are little gods

Okay first a judge is not a priest nor a pastor other wise today every state superior federal or Supreme Court Justice is a pastor I assure you they are not Second the requirements in the old testament to be a priest were they had to be a levite in the line of Aaron and had to be male Read Leviticus Second if by any stretch Deborah was pastor (which she was not)she would have been at temple not mediating disputes under her tree. Also judges 4 calls a prophetess not a priest in the line of Aaron as it would have if it was so

@@user-iz8np3vv4i Yes, I understand that but why then say that all women are decided and not qualified to teach in a congregation?

@@Nothingbutdust92 This is all about the false teaching of Complementarianism, Royal. _____________________________________________________________ Complementarianism That false and confusing teaching, that states Christian women are less than Christian men in a spiritual way, but they really aren't, but they really are. The complementarian teaching prohibits a Christian woman from holding certain positions in a church. They can't be elders neither can they teach men. So why is that? The false teaching makes it clear that the priesthood of the New Covenant is tiered. There is a hierarchy. Those that are higher, the men, can be in leadership positions, like elder. They can teach other men. Those in the lower tier can not be in leadership positions, like elder. They are prohibited from teaching men, because the men are in the higher tier. It wouldn't make any sense. A new believer is automatically assigned their level, higher or lower, at the moment of salvation, as a birthright. Their gender determines their tier. A Christian can not move to a higher or lower tier. A Christian that is in the lower tier (woman) is not allowed to complain of the tier she was placed in. That would be sin, because God made her a woman by His choice. She should accept and also embrace her position in the lower tier. A church, is either a group of Christian men or a group of Christian men and women. A church can never be a group of Christian women, because it would be a group of only those in the lower tier. It would have no elders. But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. -excerpt 1 Peter 2 Since the teaching states that women are spiritually inferior to men, but they aren't, but they are, when did that start? But I do not allow a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a wrongdoer. -excerpt 1 Timothy 2 It started with the first woman. She was deceived, and sinned because of it. So we have a teaching that accepts that men and women are fallen beings. Both genders are sinful by nature. However women are different. They are lacking the ability that men have to judge if some situation, some concept or teaching is sinful. This inability was passed down from Eve to all women. It remains to this day. A woman in our time was 'lacking' from birth, even from the womb. So what can be done? Nothing according to Complementarianism. That is because an anointing of that powerful masculine being called the Holy Spirit, is just not sufficient. Even the Holy Spirit can not elevate even one Christian woman to the spiritually superior level of a Christian man.
