Not even a word or comma...You are completely wrong.<br />Not even a word or comma of scriptures will change even if the if the world ends-Lord Jesus Christ.<br />New Testament is the fulfillment of Old Testament,it was not written to correct errors of Old Testament as you claim.Scriptures donot have errors/anomalies,it does have some mistransalations in various languages due to human weakness.<br />Jesus proved himself to be the Christ/Messiah by fulfilling more than 300 messianic prophesies of Old Testament/Jewish Tanakh.Also many other Bible prophesies have been fulfilled literally till date.<br /><br />You can view most of these fulfilled bible prophesies(both messianic and non messianic) in my website yahwehword.wordpress.com.<br /><br />God is not a man that he should lie...God's word is true...you can verify it by fulfilled Bible prophesies,<br />many miracle healings that take place when people with real need cry out to God in Jesus name and scriptures itself with the power of the Holy Spirit to change any hardened "heart/mind".<br /><br />So God bless you to see the truth and reality.Jan Zizkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339580121954376004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970158058179666549.post-71295360521331447082014-05-28T10:44:27.507+01:002014-05-28T10:44:27.507+01:00Scriptures are very clear in this issue(unlike lon...Scriptures are very clear in this issue(unlike long hair/cloth hair cover debate).Women are not allowed to be overseers/pastors,because they are not allowed to teach or have authority over man-1Thimothy2:11-15.Even if take this passage in husband/wife context,then also it means that a wife cannot be a Pastor over her husband,she can only be an assistant pastor/deaconess(co-pastor is a misleading term).Also a women who assumes role of a Senior Pastor/overseer will be setting a bad example to other women and men by teaching and having authority over men in the church.<br />That is why 1 Thimothy 3:1-7 speaks only of men to the post of overseers/senior pastors.1Thimothy3:8-12 speaks of deacons in which in 1 Thimothy 3:11 is addressed to women in the original transalations rather than the deacons wives ,which means women who wish to be deaconess like Phoebe are allowed.In modern times this would include the post of assistant pastors.<br />Thus we understand from 1Corinthians14:34,1Thimothy2:11-15 that women should not do authoritarian teaching(overseer/pastoral authority) over men,which is also the meaning of 1 Corinthians14:34 saying women must be "silent" in churches and also the meaning of 1 Corinthians11:10 saying women should have symbol of authority on their heads (symbol being long hair/cloth/cap) when they preach(prophesy)/pray in christian meetings because of "angels"-angels means overseers/pastors of church as in 7 angels of 7 churches of Asia in the book of Revelations and in book of Acts in new testament.<br /><br />So to conclude according to scriptures women can be Apostles(eg:Junia),Evangelist(eg.Pirscillia)Deaconess(eg:Phoebe) but they are not allowed to be senior Pastors/Overseers of a local church according to scriptures.<br />Also heirarchial authority over a Pastor/Overseer of local church like Bishop/Metropolitan/Pappacy etc are unbiblical.The only authority over the Pastor/Overseer of a local church should be the authority of Lord Jesus Christ.<br /><br />God bless youJan Zizkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05339580121954376004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4970158058179666549.post-44852222924943161052014-05-28T03:26:55.916+01:002014-05-28T03:26:55.916+01:00These are salient issues raised, however, being a ...These are salient issues raised, however, being a pastor's wife does not automatically qualify u as a pastor. It's all about ur calling. <br />I also do not believe that women should have a subdued role in d house of God or in spiritual matters, mother Theresa played a huge role everywhere she went, we have many women doing exploits in God's Vineyard today. Christianity has gone beyond playing d Sexism card. I'm not against the scriptures but times have changed. The new testament was inspired to correct some 'anomalies' of the old.
