Can a woman preach and if so why can women preach according to the Bible?
|
Proverbs
25:11
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
|
Sometimes we believe that we know the
TRUTH about
something, but do we know the whole TRUTH? Do we put ourselves in
other people’s shoes before we decide what the TRUTH of a matter is
and even try and determine their destiny?
Oft times when we read things, we like to
apply the parts that we agree with to our lives, but the rest, we
disregard. This is even true many times when we read the Bible.
Sometimes we don’t bother to search for the whole truth because it may not fit our lifestyle . . . Or our approval!
WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE DEBATE
WOMEN PREACHING - CAN WOMEN PREACH FACTS
Now most are aware of the woman preach scripture that
indicates that a woman is not to be teaching men and that is the woman preach scripture
many like to use to prevent a woman from sharing the Word of God.
But ... The truth of the woman preach
issue is that women have been preaching in
the Bible for thousands of years and the Bible says they
will continue to do so as long as the woman is preaching
what God told them to preach which is called prophecy.
Let’s take a look at the
whole truth from several different viewpoints.
The Bible is a big book, no question about it, and
many Christians have never read it cover to cover, let alone
understood all of it’s implications. In addition, we’re all
individuals and the interpretation for one person, is quite different
from the interpretation for another, even when two people are reading
the same translation.
Looking at
things from a different point of view is a very important thing, and
the challenge in this study, is to open your mind to different
viewpoints about women teaching or preaching using ALL Scripture on
the matter.
We’re going to start off with a little exercise in
looking at things from a different perspective. Did you know that all
things in the Bible do not apply to all people. Jesus Himself
explained this when He was talking about the laws of divorce
and said:
|
Matthew 19:11
All men cannot receive this saying, except those to
whom it is given.
|
In other words, every situation is different, and
God judges the heart.
WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE DISCUSSION
WOMEN PREACHING & CAN WOMEN PREACH VERSES
Here’s a great example:
The 6th Commandment is: Thou shalt not
kill.
But ... Because king Saul
didn’t kill
all of the Amalekites, as GOD told him to do, it angered God and the
prophet Samuel came and killed the king of the Amalekites. This was
one of the reasons that Saul's anointing was taken away and the kingdom of Israel was
taken from him.
|
1 Samuel
15:33
And
Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall
thy mother be childless among women.
And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces
before the LORD in Gilgal.
|
Yes, you read that right ... A prophet of God killed a man cuz GOD
wanted him to.
YET ... Thou shalt not kill.
As you can see all laws are not applicable to
all circumstances.
Just as Jesus said ...
|
Matthew 19:11
All men cannot receive this saying, except those to
whom it is given.
|
Now you can see TRUTH reveals that we can be
mistaken about the TRUTH in the Bible and we need to study God's Word
to find the WHOLE TRUTH.
So, without much further ado, let’s look at the
topic at hand:
WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE ARGUMENT
WOMEN PREACHING / CAN WOMEN PREACH TODAY
In the Bible, a prophetess is a woman who speaks the messages of God to others.
Did you know there are several of these prophetess
chosen women mentioned in the Bible?
Check these out ...
Miriam, Moses’ sister:
|
Exodus 15:20
And Miriam the
prophetess,
the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the
women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. |
Deborah, who was a judge of Israel:
|
Judges 4:4
And Deborah, a
prophetess,
the wife of Lapidoth, she
judged Israel
at that time. |
Huldah, who prophesied during the reign of king
Josiah:
|
2 Kings 22:14
So Hilkiah the priest, and
Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto
Huldah the prophetess,
the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper
of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;)
and they communed with her. |
Isaiah’s wife:
|
Isaiah 8:3
And I went unto the
prophetess;
and she conceived, and bare a son. Then said the LORD to me,
Call his name Mahershalalhashbaz. |
WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE RESEARCH
WOMEN PREACHING - CAN WOMEN PREACH VOW
Now many say .... Okay, I agree there WERE
women that spoke the Word of God, but that was back then, what about
the New Testament?
Anna:
|
Luke 2:36
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.
|
Then they say, Okay, but what about after Jesus rose to Heaven and the
New Covenant began?
Philip’s four daughters:
|
Acts 21:9
And the same man had
four daughters, virgins, which
did prophesy. |
The TRUTH is that women would prophesy (Share the WORD of GOD)
IS written in the Bible as Prophecy.
Let us take a look at the words from the Lord given to the prophet Joel who shared with us in a prophecy that would occur when the End Times drew near:
|
Joel 2:28-29
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon
all flesh; and your
sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, your old men
shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon
the servants and upon
the handmaids
in those days will I pour out my spirit.
|
WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE LESSON
WOMEN PREACHING - CAN WOMEN PREACH LAWS
The Apostle Peter confirmed this as well:
|
Acts 2:16-17
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet
Joel;
And it shall come to pass in the last
days, saith God, I will pour out of
my Spirit upon
all flesh: and
your sons and your
daughters shall prophesy
and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
|
Sooooooo, we see that women HAVE and WILL speak
the Word of the Lord.
But what about those hardcore doubters that accept
this TRUTH ... But will then say that perhaps they did and will
prophecy but what about the present day?
You may be wondering why these rascals are
so very determined to prove their point. It is because of a
few things Paul said.
There are two places in the New Testament where Paul
addresses this subject.
This passage is directed at
married
women.
|
1
Corinthians 14:34-35
Let your women
keep silence in the churches:
for it is not permitted for them to speak; but they are commanded to
be under obedience, as also says the law. And if they wish to learn
any thing,
let them ask their husbands
at home: because it is shameful for women to speak in the
church.
|
WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE EVIDENCE
WOMEN PREACHING - CAN WOMEN PREACH NOW
In this passage, Paul says "I" don't allow ...
|
1 Timothy
2:11-15
Let the woman
learn in silence
with all subjection. But
I
don’t allow a woman
to teach,
nor to
have authority over the man,
but to
be in silence.
For Adam was first
created, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being
deceived was in the transgression (wrong). Nevertheless, she shall be
saved in childbearing, IF they continue in Faith and love and holiness
with sobriety (control).
|
If you’re a woman, you’re probably pouting,
right about now ...
IF you do not HEAR.
Let me remind both, yet again of what Jesus said
...
|
Matthew 19:11
All men cannot receive this saying, except those to
whom it is given.
|
WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE PROMISE
WOMEN PREACHING - CAN WOMEN PREACH IN PUBLIC
We can dissect this a little further, too. The selection from 1 Corinthians specifies that
married
women should not speak in the church.
What about outside the church? Well, then you have to define “church.”
Is any gathering of two or more Christians considered “church”?
I suppose that’s another
matter of interpretation for everyone to debate about.
We learned earlier that Philip’s four daughters
prophesied.
Acts 21:9,
you’ll learn that these women were all
virgins
(unmarried), and the scripture
from the prophet Joel
Joel 2:28-29
and Peter
Acts 2:16-17
that you read above says that the Lord will pour
out His Spirit upon the handmaidens
(unmarried), so we have evidence that
UNMARRIED women HAVE Prophesied after Jesus was taken to Heaven.
Sooooooo, women HAVE, WILL AND
ARE prophesying according to the Word of God.
Now these Christian
woman preaching bashers can only say "okay, I agree with all that but
MARRIED Christian women cannot preach" ...
They may use scripture such as:
|
1 Corinthians 7:34
There is difference also between a wife and a virgin (unmarried as
back then if you were not married, you were to be a virgin). The
unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be
holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for
the things of the world, how she may please her husband.
|
But they need read the next
verse also:
|
1
Corinthians 7:35
And this I speak for your own
profit; not that I may cast a snare upon
you, but for that which is
comely, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without distraction.
|
What if this matter is just as
we found out earlier, that one rule does not apply to all situations.
As Jesus said ...
|
Matthew 19:11
All men cannot receive this saying, except those to
whom it is given.
|
WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE TALK
WOMEN PREACHING - CAN WOMEN PREACH IN CHURCH
Now, it may seem like this study is very pro-women,
so we’ll look at the other side of the coin as well. Without a doubt,
not
every woman should be preaching or teaching but only those led by the
Holy Spirit.
In fact, MANY events recorded in the Bible confirm
that when the advice of a woman was followed ... Things turned out for
the worst.
BUT
While you are
considering that, add this lil tidbit ...
Consider the story of Deborah, who instructed Barak, and Huldah, who the priest of Judah turned to for instruction.
They came to her because she was a Prophetess. She had the Word of God and they came to her for it.
But ... That’s for God to decide,
not a man. You on the other hand,
have to discern whether or not the individual's words, whether it be
man or woman ... Married or single, are words that are divinely inspired,
and you then have the choice of whether or not you will listen or
believe. But it seems you should hear the words as to check the fruits
as to prove all things. I mean ... What if it IS God's Words? What if a woman is indeed a prophetess of
God, and you stifle her because you haven’t looked at this from a
different and more spiritual point of view as we have been taught to?
I mean ... Most that disagree with a
woman sharing the Word of God say they take the Bible literally and
THAT is why they say what they say referring to the Scripture Paul
shared.
BUT ... Is not ALL Scripture to be
taken literally?
Like this one ...
|
Acts 2:16-17
But this is that which was spoken by the prophet
Joel;
And it shall come to pass in the last
days, saith God, I will pour out of
my Spirit upon
all flesh: and your
sons and your
daughters shall prophesy
and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
|
According to this Scripture, when
taken literally ... In attempting to silence a woman, you may have just
attempted to hush God’s
Word.
WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE
WOMEN PREACHING - CAN WOMEN PREACH PROPHESY
You may be telling God’s messenger-ette to simmer down now, get back into the kitchen and leave the proclaiming of God’s Word up to the men, when God Himself may have sent her to share what was in HIS mind, through HER words.
Just as HE said He would.
|
Joel 2:28-29
And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon
all flesh; and your
sons and your
daughters shall prophesy, your old men
shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon
the servants and upon
the handmaids
in those days will I pour out my spirit.
|
God will choose whoever He wants to
and is NOT limited to man's limited understanding.
|
1
Corinthians 1:27
God has chosen the foolish things of the world to
confound the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, and lowly things of the world, and things which are despised, has God chosen, yes, and things which don’t seem important, to bring to nothing, things that are.
|
I am in harmony with Paul that a woman
should not be sharing HER words in Church:

WOMAN PREACHING BIBLE SUMMARY
WOMEN PREACHING / CAN WOMEN PREACH ANSWER
The TRUTH is ... A woman’s
words, can sometimes be the Words of God and HIS Words
shared thru HER can be shared ANYWHERE, ANYTIME to ANYONE.
It does not make HER the teacher or the
one showing authority over a man ...
But rather ... GOD.
For when we serve HIM ... We are all ONE in Christ.
Despite nationality, race or gender.
|
Galatians
3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free,
there is neither male
nor
female:
for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
|
Whether you
are married or unmarried,
woman or man, Jewish or Gentile ... The best thing to do is pray for the guidance of the
Holy Spirit, and above all, let God’s will be done ... NOT man's.
