“A woman in the pulpit with the name of Jesus in her mouth is a witch.”
That was a comment I received after ministering in church! But why is Christ’s name (the name above all names) suddenly wrong if spoken by a female minister?
Should women be silent in church? Does this mean they cannot speak at all? Many Christian women have struggled to find their voices, feeling scared to speak up from fear of what people might do or say-If you've ever felt this way, you're not alone!
In this episode of The Fight for Female, you’ll discover how YOU can and should use your voice as a woman to spread the name of Jesus.

Have you ever questioned if women should have a voice in the church? How have your thoughts changed after watching this episode?
Short online read from 2013 Artemis and the End of Us: Evangelical Errors Regarding Women. Fox River Christian Church also did an excellent two part series on women in ministry called shout out found on RUclips. Both filled with biblical and historical references presented in a fun and digestible way.
My thoughts changed only after Holy Spirit Convicted me when I was judging a woman preacher for her being a woman in ministry. Than Lord told me, “ you are a woman too… “I was convicted immidiately because I walk in prophetic over 20 years with most spiritual gifts mentioned in Corinthians. I still had that old religious nature in me that judged others, but was holding me blind to see myself. I love this topic ❤Thank you for your video!
Equal value yet different roles! Yes!
“ The Godly form for women is for wisdom and influence!! “ I love this @lisabevere! Very inspiring !!
As a previous woman pastor, I have had a lot of people share their criticism with me including even women who completely disagree with women teaching in church.
An elder of a church once told me the reason they don't have women in ministry was because Eve was the first to sin so women are innately "wicked". Some people have some seriously bizarre views on this topic and it has been such a toxic issue in the church which is crazy to me!!! Thank you for speaking out about this Lisa!!! I hope many women are encouraged and enlightened by this episode
I agree with you of the importance of the voice of women without undermining the men but giving the loving point of view of a mother that wants the best for her children. Spititually we are the same there is no gender. And Jesus came to give us that through his sacrifice for all who have Him as our saviour! Thanks Lisa for speaking up and help us women to in a loving way help others:
Why does nobody anywhere mention Acts 2:17 "’In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.
Edit: Nice! She mentioned it. I posted this before she even got to that part of the video.
I'm going to look into Acts again. I think the version is important in some of these cases. But also what constitutes the last days? Usually as I know that term Biblically it means after the rapture or right before it....and we cannot know when that is. Jesus says so.
Prophesing is different from what they are talking about here. I don't feel convicted yet one way or the other but I appreciate your comment so I can remember to look into this! ❤
Prophesying and preaching are not the same thing nor is praying.
@@AkikoAmons the act of prophesying is the ability to speak with divine inspiration. Even the King James has it written in plain english. Now I am not saying women should be a full leader of the church, but the Bible is loaded with things to come and if women are going to spread that and it's biblically accurate, then it is written. This verse is written as "God says."
@@user-zo2ss1rf2i that’s what I’m talking about God created order for a reason God , husband , wife and kids for a reason. I’m not saying women aren’t important but biblically women shouldn’t be the head of a church Gods word is clearly against against praying , prophesying and preaching aren’t the same thing I can prophesy to someone without being in the pulpit preaching a sermon.
Prophesying is COMPLETELY different from Teaching! You for tell an event that is to come AND THAT IS IT!!! In the book of Titus says what exactly women are to do in the church! BUT NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE DID GOD SAY! I will send my daughters to teach or be deacons or Elders!!!
Your story about allowing your husband to grow and letting go of the stress of controlling family life meant a lot to me. I love your honesty and faith! Thank you!
It comes down to what we value the most - people's self-presentation - or God's will for our lives as outlined in scripture.
I preach and teach the Word of God biweekly as a young adult woman to middle school youth in my church, and I am grateful that God has given me a platform to share my voice 💕
Neither men nor women have "their voice" after being united with Christ in his death and resurrection.
Galatians 2:20 ESV
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
@@sophialaurenceman to children and women is ok . You can't be head pastor of a church
I’m a woman preacher. I have heard this more times than I can count. I didn’t ask to be a preacher and fought it until I couldn’t anymore. Opposition has come, but over 30 years into the call and I couldn’t imagine not serving God in the gifting he gave me. Thank you Lisa.
I still didn't see any Biblical verses in the video stating that as acceptable or not, do you perhaps know of any that do? I seek more clarity about it. ❤ I love women's groups and I do have Bible study that way a lot, just not only that way. I do believe in the importance of always seeking out what a man I trust thinks about it. Namely my husband. And if course I pray and seek Jesus' above all.
Until I know more I'd definitely be uncomfortable with a service that has a woman as a minister or preacher. But I'm open to the idea. I know most churches still partake in Christmas and Easter and those are vehemently non-Biblical. Actually anti-Christian in many ways. So it baffles me, needless to say I have many reasons I don't just trust church sermons anymore. 😅
I have two online churches I like to "attend" and am always a part of THE Church and love opportunities to evangelize (though I don't call myself an evangelical)...I don't know if evangelizing and apologetics is the same as preaching. I don't see it as such. So there's just a difference.
I would like more conviction about it.
People who are not spreading the gospel or preaching Gods word, telling women who ARE not too 🫠 Gid will use anyone & anything

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, by God.
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?’

I suggest you study the Passover, and find the places in the New Testament
where the word Passover is used. (You may get few or differing opinions
on this matter.)
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go and take for yourselves lambs according to your families, and slaughter the Passover lamb. And you shall take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the blood which is in the basin, and apply some of the blood that is in the basin to the lintel and the two doorposts; and none of you shall go outside the door of his house until morning.
For the Lord will pass through to strike the Egyptians; but when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
-excerpt Exodus 12
Phoebe was a deconess in Rome. Junia and her husband were apostles.Priscilla was his coworker... This is Romans 16. In Corinthians, Paul was addressing the women in that church slecifically. This was exegisis based on culture relativity and heurmanuetics...this was written specifically to church at Corinth...and to Timothy he reiterated that women dont need to teach men or speak in church at that church. They were told they should have their head covered. It was said in Jude1? It was because of the fallen angels and nephilim. If men are offended it means you need a culture that will accept you and your gifts and calling. Not every church culture can handle women in leadership or ministry with men.
It doesn't matter what Lisa says nor I say, or anyone else. Lord what do you say? Help us become one Body, Baptism and Spirit.
Pst. Lisa, seriously, please be my mom. I'm in South Africa, I'll make it work.
I also would appreciate a mom like her! ❤ 😅 At least we can hear from her this way!
So cute ❤
Anything that promotes bondage is not Christ lead . Many of the scriptures regarding women have been taking out of context . I am grateful for my theology training because my understanding is much more clear .
Christianity IS bondage. It is freedom IN slavery - not freedom FROM slavery.
Christ is the perfect sacrifice - which means that from the day he is born to the day he died he submitted to his Father in all things. He did not assert his rights (Phil 2:6).
Being saved is becoming united with that same Jesus in his death - rising to a new life in which we have no rights (we are dead - a dead person has no rights) - in which God gives us the ability to please him in all things.
Luke 14:26 reveals that if a person who professes a faith has even a single idol they aren't a disciple of Jesus - they aren't saved.
“If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple".
(The good news is that instead of us having to produce repentance - we must instead turn to God in faith (faith that God has earned the right to our total worship in his perfect self-giving character). If God judges our faith to be authentic - a true turning away from faith in ourselves - he gives us the GIFT of repentance (see Acts 11:18, 2 Tim 2:25)). So then the way to know if we are truly saved is not that we profess a faith - but that our lives are completely free of idols. If we understand we will speak as if we do not have any rights before God - including 'the right to self expression').
What a powerful testimony!! Women are God's ANSWER to so many problems. Let's give women space to speak and live out their God-given callings!
A woman was the cause of sin entering the world.
No - God is the answer to every problem. Neither men nor women are God's answer to any problem. Instead men and women have the privilege of sharing in God's purposes in the way that he specifies in scripture.
@@philipbenjamin4720 God is always the answer- of course! But I love how God uses humans as an answer to our calls for help. Moses was an answer to the Hebrews’ cries for deliverance. Jesus was an answer for our sin problem. The Lord often answers our needs with PEOPLE, and that includes women :)
@@TheSacredShade Thank you for your reply. I believe that understanding the truth about men and women would not be a problem if first we all understood that both men and women have absolutely no standing in the face of God's unalterable justice - and our being sinners - if not for the righteousness of Christ - which we can only receive in exchange for our death. If we are dead we have zero rights - we have no voice - no right to self-expression. The problem isn't that women are not allowed to preach - the problem is that some men preach as if ignorant of what I just explained.
@@-xyz-012No, it was Satan
One really important thing we need to consider is the way Paul talks about the spiritual relationship between a woman and her husband, and how that connects to the church. Paul describes the church as the bride, and Christ as the husband. So just like the bride is supposed to seek the wisdom and leadership of her groom, the woman in the church should be looking at her physical "husband" , the way her physical husband is looking at his spiritual husband - Christ - looking for guidance, rather than trying to be the one in charge.
Another key point is that being a preacher or leader in the church is just one part of what it means to be an elder. Elders are also called to serve the church in all kinds of ways, and they even have to be willing to die for the church and for Christ's name. Which happened and is happening today in places where the church is being persecuted.
But a married woman's primary calling is often to have a family and raise children. And she's supposed to be willing to sacrifice for and "die" for her family, just like the elders do for the church. So if you let a woman have the same kind of authority as an elder, she gets all the privileges of that role, but doesn't have to shoulder the same heavy burdens.
As Jesus coined succinctly in
Luke 12:48 " But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.
What is given ? clearly it includes authority. If you are given much authority , much will be required of you .
Yes a woman can instruct her children, help guide other women, serve the church in so many ways . Even evangelise on a day to day basis. There are so many things a woman can do as a part of the body of christ that are as important as preaching with authority.
Paul is talking about each having their own gifts in christ. And they should use them. Some prophecy, some are healers, some are really good at prayer and so on . The point is to be meek and humble and do your part the best way you can and with all love as a part of the body of christ.
And speaking of meekness . One of the things Paul was concerned about in a woman preaching, was that this pursuit would, pull her away from meekness towards self importance , or at least would present this strong temptation. The aspiration for us as christians is to not cause our brothers and sisters to stumble in temptation, which they will eventually not be able to overcome, and cause them, to develop a false jesus in their heart and mind.
In my opinion, you have given a very good summary. I don't know why people often fall to the extreme ends with regards to certain topics and often due to own assumptions. I have thought about this topic and will continue to do so, but always base my beliefs on the Bible. Eventhough you did not mention bible verses, I can relate your comments to scripture
A lot of them comments here are very sad. Makes me wonder if they even listened to the video or if they just came to argue. 😢
Come Lord Jesus, come. 💔
Since you believe that people aren't paying enough attention to the video what ideas from the video that were biblically substantiated stood out for you?
I love that you say at 64, you still want to grow!! Amen!!!
It's very important to not take the 1 Timothy passage out of context. It is rarely taught on correctly, so I understand why people act like it is so black and white. But, to say "the bible says" or "the truth is" feels naive at best.
The Bible also shows Paul partnering with multiple women church leaders, Chloe, Priscilla, Phoebe, to name a few. A third of Romans 16 are women listed and I have never heard it preached that way. Pastors don't even know, it has been so buried in poor English translations for so long. Jesus privately spoke with women and then counted on them to spread the word, examples include the virgin birth, the woman at the well announcing that He was the Messiah and the women at the tomb. If we were to remain silent, those major pillars in the Christian faith could have been lost.
Paul and Jesus appear to not "practice what they preach". When the Bible appears to contradict itself then we have to dig deeper. What was the original Greek? What was the historical context? Timothy seems to be asking Paul for help with a list of problems in his churches. Paul specially addresses one man and one woman in this passage, a couple in Timothy's church, not a plural group.
The Greek word used here for "authority" is a brutally oppressive, domineering word. Most people would not say that women ever get to treat men like this. It's a straw man's argument to say that this means a woman cannot speak with authority over any man in church. Any time any Christian speaks God's truth, they speak with God's authority, not their own anyway.
These churches were filled with uneducated women who were trained in the pagan religion of worshipping Artemis, a Greek goddess who said that Eve was created first and therefore can dominate and even hunt men. Paul is setting the creation story straight. Adam was created first. However, that is a huge leap to say that is proof of why women cannot speak. Elephants were created before man, but that doesn't mean they have authority over them. Men and women were given the Great Commission, all are called priests, all are given the spiritual gifts, all are told by Paul to prophesy and pray in the church setting for the benefit of the entire Body.
The church is described as the family of God, if only the fathers are allowed to ever address the family, isn't this akin to something like a gay marriage, which even unbelievers will argue isn't the best setting for raising children in? Mothers will always bring in another perspective in a family that reflects the feminine aspects of the image of God and strengthens everyone listening.
At the very least, one could say this topic of women speaking in church is controversial. And if you have to choose a side, choose the side that has the potential to save the most souls, to cultivate the most fruit and disperse the workload of the harvest.
There is absolutely nothing within 1 Timothy itself which would lead anyone to conclude that Paul's directives there are in response to a specific issue with the Ephesian church. On the contrary - the reasons Paul gives for why women should not teach men are both universal (verses 13 and 14) - both out of Genesis - not out of the Ephesian Times! While your argument is that those verses - which are two reasons - namely that Adam was created before Eve - and Eve wasthe first to be deceived - are relevant to who should or shouldn't domineer who - yes? Who would have thought that Adam being created before Eve relates to women in Ephesus being domineering!
You make it sound as if the only place in the bible which provides insight into the role of men and women is 1 Timothy 2. Not so. What about Genesis 2? What about Ephesians 5? What about 1 Timothy 3? What about Titus 1? What about 1 Peter 3?
That's quite an effort - you failed to mention ANY of those passages but you did mention Romans 16 - proving that if someone wants to believe something they will no doubt do so.
Do you believe that ANY person whose bible is in their language is able to read the bible and reach right conclusions about the heart of God? Of course you don't - you just quoted from some book by someone with a PhD who makes it their life work to tell us why what the bible plaining says it doesn't mean INSTEAD of receiving the combined teaching of scripture on man and woman.
@@philipbenjamin4720beef should be shown more grace for being younger though, also they were teaching Goddess Diana religion.
This was soooo good
It seems I have always known women should have a voice in the church. There is a stereotype that wants to quieten the voice of his daughters. Listening to what you experienced strengthens me that our voice is powerful. Our voice is important in the church, as well as the home and also the workplace. Ms. Lisa you embody women to rise above and Speak into this generation, so other generations will also be bold to speak change.
Your voice and my voice die the day that we choose to be united with Christ in his death. Believers no longer live - they have no rights - their bodies are temples in which the Holy Spirit lives.
The Holy Spirit is God - the idea that any person or group can stop the Spirit from speaking in us and through us is nonsense. God is not limited by anyone. (The opposite view is a kind of Christian nationalism - "unless Christians occupy particular positions their voice will be suppressed"). The problem isn't that women aren't supposed to preach - the problem is that when some men preach they preach as those who imagine they still have a voice.
In a church, a woman is restricted from teaching or having spiritual authority over men
The Bibles says
1 Timothy 2:11-12
NIV
11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet
A woman could only be given the authority by God to execute a man for his sin, if women are spiritually equal to men. A Judge could judge homicide cases according to Deuteronomy. Therefore Deborah, as a Judge, could execute a man for his sin. A Judge's verdict could not be altered or appealed.
A Judge was cleared to teach from scripture as he/she gave a verdict, according to Deuteronomy. Since in Judges 4, men went to Deborah to be judged, a woman could teach men, even in the Old Covenant in a public setting.
A Judge was REQUIRED in scripture to judge only the hardest of cases.
Refusal to accept a Judge's verdict on any matter,
resulted in execution, according to Deuteronomy.
If your beliefs can't explain all this, they must be false.
@user-iz8np3vv4i What i'm talking about is the order of a church ⛪️
@@iknowwhatyoudidlastsummer4k
The Judge was the primary pastor/shepherd of God's
people during that time period. I suggest my free postable
essay on Deborah. All teaching about 'women in ministry'
has to line up with her.
so what about Deborah, and you need to start learning to read the Bible in context
This is such a beautiful, necessary, real conversation. Thank you Lisa.
Wow. I'm actually quite shocked listening to Lisa's experiences - the people walking out of the church for starters.
Men telling women what to do and calling them a witch for non-compliance - it’s a tale as old as time. We can't be burned at the stake anymore!
The world needs all voices to share God's word, and there is room in God’s house for everyone.
It’s especially important for women and girls to hear from strong, authentic, and powerful women of God.
#HearWomenRoar
Also the fact that Adam also failed not only Eve. I'm pretty sure God gets just as angry with him if not more so, as he was the head of them and to be not "Lording" over her but to be someone to direct her when he sees her doing something wrong.
My husband even surprised me but being very adamant about this. (No pun intended..."adamant?" 😅) That he feels Adam is actually more guilty than Eve in this sense. More accountable. I think they are equally accountable or Adam slightly more so given that role.
We are created with different sets of hormones. When we have healthy hemostasis it's obvious. We are all called to be kind but in different ways. Women are better at being gentle and patient it seems. To rear children primarily, and to be so with our husbands as well as they can get stuck in protection mode etc.
There's a healthy give and take when we follow God's plan.
But for sure is always surprising when people knee-jerk to mistreatment in the name of Christianity, it doesn't make sense. I'm glad she's here to tell us about it! ❤ She's not a victim she's strong as a daughter of YHWH.
Thank you Lisa for talking about this I’m tired of hearing this lie that women can’t preach and teach the word of God ❤❤❤
The only thing we know from your statement is that there is a person called Shakeeta somewhere who believes women can preach. You didn't offer any reasoning for why everyone should believe either that women should preach - or that women shouldn't preach.
This question is tough. Is the pastor's wife also a pastor? How do you classify Joyce Meyer? My pastor used to say that you can only preach after you performed 20 funerals and visit 1,000 people in the hospital. Everyone wants to do the popular job, talking. No one wants to visit someone in the hospital or visit a poor Neiborhood's. Should women visit people in the hospital and minister in poor Neiborhood's? My pastor's wife is a big star. She likes to speak in conferences and charge good money. In the church she doesn't even say "hi".
Thank you Lisa. As a woman who is a bit awkward and was laughed at as a child by a large group of girls, your words really resonate with me. God bless you, your family and your ministry abundantly. I am also terrified of public speaking.❤
Can't wait to hear this.
I believe that those who speak against and try to silent women are twisting scriptures out of proper context..
After Jesus was resurrected he sent womem to go tell the disciples he had resurrected.
Payl had many women beside him helping him share the gospel.. Some women wven heald church gatheringsvin their homes etc...
There are women prophetess etc..
So, why did Paul also say that women shouldn’t have authority over men????
@@ALTheFreeManpreaching and authority are completely different. Authority is in charge, preaching is spreading a message.
No woman preacher mentioned in the Bible
@@user-zo2ss1rf2i I agree, but there will be those who take it a step further and say there’s nothing wrong with a woman being a pastor.
@@NthabiKido-yz3wt And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
A family just left a small church I speak in monthly because the husband believes women must not speak in church. He was not open to any conversation with the elders of the church.
I suspect he believed one of Paul's false teachings. He had a
number of them. These false teachings do damage to this day.
@@user-iz8np3vv4iWOW. Paul had false teachings….?!?!? So I suppose you do not believe in the inerrency of The Cannon of Scripture…. You know, since Paul was the author of many books allowed within the Cannon of Scripture…. 🤷🏻♀️🤦♀️
They did the right thing. The church and its “leaders” are going against God’s Word.

I've been a Christian a long time. I used to just accept everything
by Paul, but those days are long gone.
Paul repeatedly referred to himself as a 'father' even referring to
Christian men as 'son'. This is his most serious false teaching.
He stated there were other 'fathers' as well, yet never gives the
qualifications to be a 'father' in any letter.
Anyway, I wrote an essay on some of Paul's teachings. He
didn't come out well.

I think I just found my new favorite RUclips channel 💗 Thank you
Amazing testimony !
The first person to preach that Jesus is alive was a woman. Jesus respected women for their strengths.
Preach???
No ways..nothing like than..no woman preacher in the Bible
That’s not preaching. Don’t you know the difference? God will not be mocked to suit the desires of the flesh and tickling of peoples ears.
She ministered to Jesus she didn’t preach to him not the same thing.
Please don't build your theology from a single fact from scripture - or if that isn't the case - please don't comment in a way that gives that impression.
To have a theology of sexuality you will have to develop a united understanding from all of scripture - but certainly from Genesis 2, 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, 1 Timothy 2, 1 Timothy 3, 1 Peter 3, and Titus 1. I wish you well in that task.
@@AkikoAmons So, women can be ministers but not teachers?
Thank you for this. I used to be so fearful of speaking. My voice was so quiet, I'd blush. I wanted to be heard.

Thank you for having this conversation
Please don't forget about the importance of us men; God also created us for a purpose.
I love the mention of who is head of the church? THIS one hits home for a ton of issues in the churches, since Catholicism at least. Jesus is the head of the church. THE church. My husband is the head of our household. The thing is he is called to love me like Jesus loves the church.... that's an incredible standard to aim for. ❤ It also means he has kore accountability. Throughout the Bible there are outright lessons about being held accountable with the more power, authority, and knowledge one has.
Women having less authority in these places is a protection IMO. We can still be harmed here, we trust in the protection of our spirit and the eternal. But there are also thoae spiritual battles and the physical world we have to grow in at this time, that is affected by Satan and his minions.
I trust in Jesus. But he has lessons for what is healthy and what is not...for what is worth fighting for and worth risking for and what is not. We are even told not to be foolish in situations that are unnecessary and not what we as individuals are called to do.
Sometimes it's harder to take a step back and accept a role that might be less public or less outspoken. I believe if we lsten to the holy spirit and study the Bible it will become clear. 📜🙌🕊️
I appreciate Lisa Bev so much, though I've only just come across her in a few videos. I don't see her as a preacher etc, but I also wish I would understand better the specifics of what the Bible says. I'll have to look into Acts.
I do like the video about authority as women, with Jesus. That made sense to me. But there are different forms of authority.
As it sits now, a Bible study led by a woman is different to me than a woman minister. I would avoid a service that had such until knowing more from the Word. ❤ But I also won't attend a church with Christmas and Easter celebrations, as that is not Biblical.
No one is perfect and no service would be I'm sure. But I am not comfortable entertaining things the Bible is specifically against. As far as I knew it's against women ministers but need to dig. I oove the info about the pulpit history. Interested in more.
Thank you for sharing your view with such humility - gracefully according to your convictions yet non-judgmental. This was such a beautiful example to me, truly refreshing🤍

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, by God.
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
Lisa has been such an inspiration to me! I have never related to a woman more in my life!
Thank you for doing this. This is so empowering❤
The women’s silence in the Bible was because the women were disturbing the worship service and speaking out of order.
Exactly
Thats exactly so
No that’s not why. Read the Bible to learn why instead of listening to peoples deceptive opinions.
I am trying to find that scripture, but it makes sense that they would be silenced from interrupting. There are so many cases of the Bible being misunderstood on a large scale.
Kind of like they do today?
Judges 4:4-5
“Deborah, a prophetess and the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time. She used to sit [to hear and decide disputes] under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the Israelites came up to her for judgment…
The villagers ceased to be; they ceased in Israel Until I, Deborah, arose, Until I arose, a mother in Israel.”
Judges 5:7
Have you ever read the very last verse of the Book of Judges???
@@ALTheFreeMan
I wrote an informal essay on Deborah. The sending of a Judge
was God showing mercy to His people.
@@user-iz8np3vv4i You seem to be really focused on Deborah, despite the fact that she was a Judge during one of the lowest points for the Israelites. I personally think she is an exception rather than the rule. Also, I’ll add that the examples of women in “leadership” are all OUTSIDE the scope of a church environment. When Paul said women were to be silent in the church, and they’re not to be in authority over men, he was setting up rules for the CHURCH.
@@ALTheFreeMan
Deborah is what God did, so to speak. Any doctrine that
opposes what God did, is, and has to be, a false doctrine.
Paul's teachings are all over the place. His belief that he was
a 'father' was his most serious false teaching. It calls into
question all his teachings about eldership/pastorship.
I wrote a long post on this subject. And yes, Paul was very
sure he was a 'father' and that there were others.
For though ye have ten thousand instructers in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers...
-excerpt 1 Corinthians 4 KJV
-words of Paul
And do not call anyone on earth your father; for only One is your Father, He who is in heaven.
-excerpt Matthew 23
-words of Jesus
@@user-iz8np3vv4i I agree that Paul’s writings are all over the place, especially in regards to the Law. However, I’ve always found it interesting that so many Christians love reciting Paul’s words that say we’re “released from the Law”, but they totally ignore his instructions regarding speaking in tongues, and women being silent in church, and women aren’t to be in authority over men. Do we believe the Bible or not???
at 37 minutes in.... It is hard when we haven't seen the roles as they are supposed to be. It seems we are always looking to others on how we are supposed to be doing things. There is a need for Titus2 women teaching the younger women. Problem is I'm 61 and still haven't gotten all the answers. I know what doesn't work, but not what does work. I think we need more examples or pictures to learn from. It is frustrating when we are divided in the church on these things as it adds to the confusion. I would love more teaching/discussion on this topic.

This is Gold- thank you so much
Just slightly over 50 years ago, I (male) responded to the tugging of the Holy Spirit as a woman pastor preached the gospel message. My life changed forever. I am so glad that the Holy Spirit was not against women peaching the gospel because if He wasn't working, I would not likely have responded. One of the most succinct and timeless teachings in the bible is by a woman and is recorded in John 2:5. This is obviously with God's authorisation, or otherwise He would have told John to remove it from his gospel. Interestingly, Numbers 22:30 records where God used an ass to try and speak correction to a prophet. God is sovereign and can use whoever or whatever he wants: to speak through, including rocks (Luke 19:40).
I use Deborah and Samaritan woman at the well - old and new testaments on how the Father has His daughters speak

That book is phenomenal. I agree. Highly recommend.
Is it possible to understand the bible without buying 'manuals' to go with it? How often? All of the time? None of the time? Some of the time?
Is it dangerous for a twelve year old to open their bible and read 1 Timothy 2 without someone being there to tell them that what anyone would consider to be the plain meaning of it is the very opposite of what the chapter means?
Egalitarianism is elitism.
Do you agree that if we need the help of pointy headed people with PhD's to understand man and woman that proves that God is unfair in creating people with varying intellectual capacity?
Is receiving God's heart for man and woman a head exercise?
Hey momma Lisa , check out the sermon " Leave our Women Alone" but Bishop Noel Jones . It's a powerful message
Where are the last day women to prophecy at?? In a field alone?
Excited to hear your thoughts on this subject. Also, we hear our Heavenly Father all the time through His word via Deborah, Esther, Ruth, Hannah, and so many others. There’s even that instance where a donkey was used and spoke so why not through women?
Because of Paul in the NT
Because Paul says women shouldn’t be in authority over men, ESPECIALLY within the church.

No-one on this forum - nor across most of the church - is arguing against women being able to prophesy. (The argument - when there is an argument - to with prophecy is whether there is any such thing as prophecy now.

Thank-you so much for talking about the wife and husband dynamic where so commonly the woman tries to be the leader and the man just sits back like a little boy letting her mother him and it's a yoke! We didn't figure this out til 12 yrs into our marriage! But once we did it's been nothing short of a miracle. And it was all God that we figured it out we were on the path to destruction without God.
Order in the house of the Lord is just like the order in the house of a man. You need a male figure as a headship, a woman as ideal helpers. Ideal helpers are also leaders, at home and at a church. All over the Bi le, women are phrophets, teaches, evangelizes, but no where in the Bible, the women is the head. A church requires the top pastor to be thst male figure who will give his life for the bride like Christ give his life for His life.
Lets be leaders as we are meant to be, different to men. Lets not confuse that with head pastorship.

@@user-iz8np3vv4i Deborah was not a pastor. She was a prophet and when the leader of the nation was called for battle he refused, hence she took his place. I do think in the absence of male headship, God allows us to cover until the male is restored. We are design to be great with our femenine leadership, like Esther's and Abigail's. Men are designed for their masculine leadership. Praises to God for men! We should fight more to help them fullfill and embrace their leadership role correctly, instead of trying to usurp it.

Jesus respected women and had them spreading the word.
Has someone said otherwise? The issue at hand is whether women should teach men - whether women should preach. Lisa quoting some nut job who said she was a witch doesn't cause the issue to become "Are women witches who must not even do the bible reading in church?"
Do they forget how many women paul sent letters to. No body questions that. So then during that time what whas going on and why fid paul suffer women not to speak. I dont think we truly understand.
So so good!! Gods Truth that needs to be said, heard and believed!!
How is jezebel seductive? Its a spirit that tries to shut prophets up, but I dont see her being seductive at all in the scriptures
What gospel is that from?
The bible reminds us to be in the spirit of love, Which is godly love it is not a self love. It is a love that is taught to encourage and elevate others as we want to be encouraged and elevated. The culture is different now than it was back in biblical times. Jesus had a number of women in his ministry. That's why whenever we read scripture, we need to not only read it by the written letter but we also need to read it.Asking the Holy Spirit to illuminate things to us.
So that we may understand the contest correctly. It's funny how people will listen to their own mother.But they won't listen to a lady many times that is presiding over a meeting when many times she may be more qualified. But at the same time that doesn't mean that we demasculate men. So there needs to be a healthy balance where we help each other. We lift up each other and like the Bible says we bear one another's burdens.
Bring the filth and corruption in leadership in the body of Christ to the light.
What is a Church that says "See Heaven" "You are" "See Heaven" it is your body to be silent within to hear gods truth and not the times. Men and woman should be silent in the church is the same truth as "Woman should be silent in the church" use the laws of god and not common concepts to be silent in your church and "Preach" u "P reach each see heaven.
I would have been so mad at John.
All women are called to prophecy/preach! It is biblical. The Acts church did not have buildings or pulpits - those things are UNBIBLICAL
YESHUA DID NOT SAY THAT.PAUL DID, AND PAUL WAS A WOLF IN SHEEPS CLOTHING.
This video gave me a lot of hope coming into it, coming out it doesn’t address the silence of women specifically at church. I’ve really been wrestling with understanding God’s morals when it comes to this because I look up to so many female preachers. The title caught my eye but it isn’t going into depth at all on Corinthians 14. We know God pours His spirit on all peoples, we know we are all called and chosen, we know women are judges, prophetesses, supporters of the early Christian movement. This is completely different than preaching in front of the body of Christ. Unless you are going to be so lax as to what defined “church” in that verse and extend judging prophesying and being a helper as applying to a woman using her voice at church. Are there any female figures in the Bible that indicate specifically that there really have been women preachers?

A woman could only be given the authority by God to execute a man for his sin, if women are spiritually equal to men. A Judge could judge homicide cases according to Deuteronomy. Therefore Deborah, as a Judge, could execute a man for his sin. A Judge's verdict could not be altered or appealed.
Refusal to accept a Judge's verdict on any matter,
resulted in execution, according to Deuteronomy.
A Judge was cleared to teach from scripture as he/she gave a verdict, according to Deuteronomy. Since in Judges 4, men went to Deborah to be judged, a woman could teach men, even in the Old Covenant in a public setting.

PAUL STATES THAT WOMEN SHOULD BE SILENT
As in all the churches of the saints, the women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.
-excerpt 1 Corinthians 14
In this matter Paul speaks of the 'law'. There is a small possibility that he is
referring to a Roman or local law. If not, then Paul is stating that Christian women were
still under the Old Covenant laws.
Yet there was no Old Covenant law that states that women should be silent.
Then the daughters of Zelophehad...came forward. They stood before Moses, before Eleazar the priest, before the leaders, and all the congregation at the entrance of the tent of meeting, saying, “Our father died in the wilderness, yet he was not among the group of those who gathered together against the Lord, in the group of Korah; but he died in his own sin, and he had no sons. Why should the name of our father be withdrawn from among his family simply because he had no son? Give us property among our father’s brothers.” So Moses brought their case before the Lord. Then the Lord said to Moses, “The daughters of Zelophehad are right about their statements. You shall certainly give them hereditary property among their father’s brothers...
-excerpts Numbers 27
These women were not rebuked, even though they spoke before everyone, including Moses.
What they asked for was granted to them, because God agreed with them.

Essay on Deborah, the Judge and prophetess. (Revised Dec. 2023)
Before Paul we have her story. We don't know what Paul would have
said about her. We have to read about her first and then try to understand
Paul (if possible).
This is what the people at the beginning of Christianity had to do.
They knew the story of Deborah already.
Deborah is either a meaningless exception or an important precedent,
in the debate of whether men and women are spiritually equal.
Before beginning, it should be noted that there is no
scripture stating clearly or even hinting at,
that Deborah was God's second choice. There was no man
that rejected the call to be Judge, requiring a woman to
take that place.
*************************************************************
INTRODUCTION:
Before God was rejected by Israel for the rulership of men, that is, kings,
there were different 'seasons' so to speak. One of those seasons
was the time of the Judges.
...but they have rejected Me from being King over them.
Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah; and they said to him, “Behold, you have grown old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Now appoint us a king to judge us like all the nations.” But the matter was displeasing in the sight of Samuel when they said, “Give us a king to judge us.” And Samuel prayed to the Lord. And the Lord said to Samuel, “Listen to the voice of the people regarding all that they say to you, because they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being King over them. Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day-in that they have abandoned Me and served other gods-so they are doing to you as well.
-excerpt 1 Samuel 8
A Judge at this time, was VERY different from a judge in our time.
The Judge was over the nation of Israel. But not as a man, as
King, or as a woman, as Queen, because God was not rejected as King as yet.
God ruled Israel through the Judges.
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
(In case the reader in unaware, the word pastor and the word
shepherd are the same word. I prefer shepherd, because it has
obvious meaning to the average person.)

“My people have become lost sheep;
Their shepherds have led them astray.
-excerpt Jeremiah 50
For an entire chapter on worthless shepherds, the reader may
check out Ezekiel 34.
And here we see Judges ruling over Israel. Therefore we see God ruling over
the men and women of Israel, through a woman. That is, in the case of Deborah:
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
Finally:
All the Judges were men, except one. Deborah.
She was married, but her husband was not a Judge.
HER JUDGING AUTHORITY here:
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was judging Israel at that time. She used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the sons of Israel went up to her for judgment.
-excerpt Judges 4
Deborah judged men and had the authority to execute, as
some sins in the Old Covenant, such as murder, demanded the death penalty
as the punishment.
There was no appeal to Deborah's (a Judge's) verdict:
... you shall not turn aside from the word which they declare to you, to the right or the left.
If a man rejected Deborah's decision, the penalty was execution:
But the person who acts insolently by not listening to the priest who stands there to serve the Lord your God, nor to the judge, that person shall die;...
She used the Law, therefore scripture, when judging and instructing:
In accordance with the terms of the law about which they instruct you...
She had the same authority as a Levitical priest:
So you shall come to the Levitical priests or the judge...
The location she judged was determined by God. It was not a small
cabin or cave, but outdoors. Therefore a public setting:
...go up to the place which the Lord your God chooses.
[She used to sit under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country...
-excerpt Judges 4]
Also of note, she judged the hardest cases in the nation.
“If a case is too difficult for you to decide, between one kind of homicide or another, between one kind of lawsuit or another, and between one kind of assault or another, that are cases of dispute in your courts, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God chooses. So you shall come to the Levitical priests or the judge who is in office in those days, and you shall inquire of them and they will declare to you the verdict. Then you shall act in accordance with the terms of the verdict which they declare to you from that place which the Lord chooses; and you shall be careful to act in accordance with everything that they instruct you to do. In accordance with the terms of the law about which they instruct you, and in accordance with the verdict which they tell you, you shall act; you shall not turn aside from the word which they declare to you, to the right or the left. But the person who acts insolently by not listening to the priest who stands there to serve the Lord your God, nor to the judge, that person shall die; so you shall eliminate the evil from Israel.
-excerpt Deuteronomy 17
[END OF PARTITION 1 OF 2]

THE REASON GOD SENT HER here:
...the Lord was moved to pity...
And when the Lord raised up judges for them, the Lord was with the judge and saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who tormented and oppressed them.
-excerpt Judges 2
The sending of a Judge meant God was showing mercy to His people.
It wasn't a judgment against them.
Since Deborah was a woman, this scripture is sometimes used
in error to describe her, in our time:
My people! Their oppressors treat them violently,
And women rule over them.
My people! Those who guide you lead you astray
And confuse the direction of your paths.
-excerpt Isaiah 3
They are taking the prophetess Deborah and comparing her to
Jezebel who murdered prophets.
Has it not been reported to my master what I did when Jezebel killed the prophets of the Lord, that I hid a hundred prophets of the Lord...
-excerpt 1 Kings 18
When a Judge died, THEN people were led astray.
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
After Deborah's time in Judges 4 and 5, we see confirmation of the people
turning back and acting more corruptly than their fathers.
Then the sons of Israel did what was evil in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord handed them over to Midian for seven years. The power of Midian prevailed against Israel.
-excerpt Judges 6 first two sentences (above)
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.
THE AUTHORITY SHE HAD OVER THE COMMANDER OF THE ARMY here:
Now she sent word and summoned Barak...
She gave the order for the battle to begin that Israel won.
Then Deborah said to Barak, “Arise! For this is the day on which the Lord has handed Sisera over to you...
Before the battle began she prophesied that a woman
would kill Sisera (the enemy commander). This happened,
as Jael, a woman not part of the battle, killed Sisera.
She said, “I will certainly go with you; however, the fame shall not be yours on the journey that you are about to take, for the Lord will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.”
And:
But Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg and a hammer in her hand, and went secretly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went through into the ground; for he was sound asleep and exhausted. So he died. And behold, while Barak was pursuing Sisera, Jael came out to meet him and said to him, “Come, and I will show you the man whom you are seeking.” So he entered with her, and behold, Sisera was lying dead with the tent peg in his temple.
So what were the results of this battle?
And the Lord routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera got down from his chariot and fled on foot. But Barak pursued the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth-hagoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not even one was left.
Also:
So God subdued Jabin the king of Canaan on that day before the sons of Israel. And the hand of the sons of Israel pressed harder and harder upon Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had eliminated Jabin the king of Canaan.
-excerpts Judges 4
In Judges 5, most of the chapter is Deborah and Barak
singing praises to God. The song lyrics are there.
Final sentence of Judges 5:
And the land was at rest for forty years.
Obviously a great outcome.
WERE THE MEN AT THAT TIME EXCEPTIONALLY COWARDLY? here:
(added Dec. 2023)
I have had comments over time that the leaders in Israel were cowardly. So
a woman was chosen to be a Judge because of that.
Now on the same night it came about that the Lord said to him, “Arise, go down against the camp, for I have handed it over to you. But if you are afraid to go down, go with Purah your servant down to the camp, so that you will hear what they say; and afterward you will have the courage to go down against the camp.” So he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the army that was in the camp.
-excerpt Judges 7
-God speaking to Gideon the Judge
We see Gideon afraid, because he took Purah his servant. As it says:
So he went down with Purah his servant to the outposts of the army that was in the camp.
And the Lord said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for Me to hand Midian over to them, otherwise Israel would become boastful, saying, ‘My own power has saved me.’ Now therefore come, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is afraid and worried, is to return and leave Mount Gilead.’” So twenty-two thousand from the people returned, but ten thousand remained.
-excerpt Judges 7 (above)
Many men were fearful. But we also see that there was no way for Israel to free
themselves. No way for them to be their own savior, even if they somehow
summoned up the courage. God made the decision several times in the Book
of Judges to have others rule over them and oppress them. God's will was done.
Men couldn't overrule God, even with perfect courage.
Barak, in the end, went into battle. He did well enough to
be mentioned in the so-called Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11
in a positive way:
And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of ... Barak... who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions, quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.
In Judges 5 Deborah and Barak
mention the leaders in a positive way multiple times.
Then Deborah and Barak the son of Abinoam sang on that day, saying,
“For the leaders leading in Israel,
For the people volunteering,
Bless the Lord!
Also:
My heart goes out to the commanders of Israel,
The volunteers among the people;
Bless the Lord!
Also:
The people of the Lord came down to me as warriors.
From Ephraim those whose root is in Amalek came down,
Following you, Benjamin, with your peoples;
From Machir commanders came down,
And from Zebulun those who wield the staff of office.
And the princes of Issachar were with Deborah;
As was Issachar, so was Barak;...
Also:
Zebulun was a people who risked their lives,
And Naphtali too, on the high places of the field.
We see clearly that the leaders and "The people of the Lord..."
in a number of tribes stepped up when they believed God
was going to move to save them through Deborah the Judge.
EXPLANATION OF GOD USING DEBORAH here:
Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth...
Prophets and prophetesses are anointed with the
Holy Spirit as we know.
The explanation of God using Deborah to judge men
and being over the army is here:
An anointing of the Holy Spirit is the anointing of a powerful masculine being. That anointing eclipses gender.
FINAL THOUGHTS here:
A woman anointed with the Holy Spirit can serve in any capacity
in our time. Whatever valid title/position there is.
To oppose this, is to oppose the Holy Spirit. The same Holy Spirit
that was upon Deborah the prophetess and Judge. Deborah, the
woman that "saved them from the hand of their enemies" by
God's will.
[END OF PARTITION 2 OF 2]
I would rather learn the gospel through a female than a deceptive abusive male Pastor. How many fallen Pastors are needed before people trust their own discernment?
Golda Meinur and the startup of Israel as a nation- God in my lifetime using a woman to lead Israel. He chose a woman to form the nation from nothing. Look at the war of 1967 and Nixions' involvement in saving Israel.
good
Thank you for sharing this great word of God❤🙏God has been so faithful to me I exalt his name now and everyday of my life. Awesome God ❤️my family are happy once again and can now afford anything for my family even with my Retirement.$67k weekly returns has been life changing, after so much struggles.
Maria Angelina Alexander I really appreciate her efforts and transparency.
I remember giving her my first savings $20000 and she opened a brokerage account for me it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.
Glory to God I've been hearing lots of good things, and her trading strategies and programs are great!!
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Maria Angelina Alexander) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Brisbane Australia.🇦🇺
Hallelujah God is still working wonders, l place myself in position for such miracle.The best thing l've seen today on RUclips thanks a lot..
I need to talk with you on your channel
This is the same control issue that Islam has.
No it's about what any person not trying to suppress the truth would conclude from reading passages like Genesis 2, 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 5, 1 Timothy 2, 1 Peter 3, 1 Timothy 3, and Titus 1. I don't know what to say - I don't know how you could suggest that if someone - after reading those passages - concluded that women should not teach men or have authority in respect of men in the church and the home - that they were gripped by the same spirit as Islam. What is your own conclusion from reading these passages?
Lisa, make a video how you give a man that doesn't work, doesn't read, doesn't take care of the house nor the kid, that you no longer respect, how do I make him a man?
My job dont stress me, but my home situation does. I dont think its fair I have to quit my job or my aspiration, nor my small group, nor my growth. All I am makes him feel small, so he refuge himself in videogaming all night, sleeping all day.
Wonderful video, thank you
Preacher is not a 5 fold office imo.
hi
1Timothy 2
I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.”
1 Corinthians 14:34-35,
“Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak but must be in submission, as the law says.
If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home;
for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.”
Where's the dilemma?
Must the rebellious now search the Bible to contradict scripture?
All Glory to Almighty God in Christ Jesus name through the Power of His Holy Spirit Amen
1Tim 2 -: Question: who is the “I “ in this statement “I do not permit a woman to teach”? Apostle Paul or the head of the church, Jesus Christ? 1 Corin 14:34-35. “Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak but must be in submission as the law says”. Question: are we under the law or under grace in the new covenant? The scriptures will not contradict each other. Refer to Gal 3:28-29. Question: what is the difference between women and female and why would God say women should be silent in the new covenant?
You must leave that in context as to why Paul was telling that group specifically such..
As in other verses of scripture show women helping and even preaching along side Paul etc.
The bible / God never contradicts himself..
Acts 2:42 ...they continued steadfastly in the apostles doctrine. Paul's letters are from God. If we say it was Paul you negate it was Holy Spirit inspired. Can women preach? Absolutely. Where? Let's apply the letters written to us. The Bible is the same yesterday, today, and forever? Women have a place in prophecy in the five fold ministry. We just should not teach over men. Prophecy over men? Absolutely. Should a wife lead her husband? Absolutely not. Than should another woman teach my husband? God has order. He made a way. We must learn to connect all dots so there is no room for error. Your explanation leaves room for error even though you say God's word can't contradict. Even Deborah was noted as a prophetess. That shows us in the new covenant it is still consistent. She spoke and led with prophecy, not teaching. She was bold and fierce. Holy Spirit should not be contained, nor should we use Him as an avenue to feel empowered. Read Revelations and the corrupt church. It references a women teaching and I will let you see what God calls her. I don't know what this podcast will say, but I love what you do! I look forward to your marriage episodes. Be blessed!
Our family studies, ancient languages, “I do not allow (that) women to domineer.” Make sure you keep a humble heart, speaking the truth of God and not what you want to believe. Jesus used women to teach the disciples of both the empty tomb and his resurrection.
Deborah was not just called by God to be a political leader over Israel, but also a religious prophetess leading Israel. Prophets are over teachers according to Paul in first Corinthians. Paul was very thankful to women who taught and I don’t know if she will get into all the names of the women, Paul thanked for their leadership over men and women. Paul also had issues with those in cities where arguing men and domineering through manipulation by temple prostitution with women for men to win wars were a cultural issue of the time as taught by some women Paul did not praise or thank as he did with other female leaders of the early church.
Where are the men for God to use. Women are available to God to use.
I'm available.
26:22 I have seen and experienced manipulation from men though as well 😞
Woman absolutely can preach and teach...TO WOMEN and CHILDREN. It's biblical..yay! But NOT as pastors on the alter... I don't care how great you pride yourself on your own voice ... God said NO....why are we bringing the feminist movement into the church?? Why can't we just obey God's word???? Pride and ego...that's why. I don't need you sticking up and being a voice in the Almighty pulpit for me. No thank you. I believe and obey and do God's word.
I'm sorry for what happened to you when you spoke the first time...not real men of God to do that to you. Praise God for the woman and children you preach and teach to...but alllll glory goes to Jesus. Right? Come on...just read HIS word.
What do you believe is THE HEART behind the 1 Timothy 2 directive?
Imagine you had a friend who said he liked U2. So you send him some of U2's music (this is all very dated!). Then imagine you find out that the reason your friend likes U2 is not because he likes their music - but because when U2's music is on his dog stops barking. That's pretty important information, yes? Next time you might send your friend dog biscuits.
It's the same with EVERY BIT of the bible. Unless we determine God's heart behind it we haven't got a hope of obeying it rightly.
So then - what is God's heart behind 1 Timothy 2:11-14?
Hint - unless we come TO THE VERSE with some conclusions about what a man is THEOLOGICALLY - and what a woman is THEOLOGICALLY - we are left with trying to understand why people with penises should preach in church - and people with vaginas should not. Pretty silly, yes? So - if you attempt to answer my question (whether or not you reply) I suggest you focus on whether there is anywhere in the bible which reveals WHAT man IS in the heart of God - and what woman IS in the heart of God. How does manhood and womanhood relate to God's character - and therefore glory?
The problem with the discussion in the video is that no attempt is made to understand God's HEART behind the existence of man and woman - using the bible - before engaging in a discussion about what men and women are supposed to do.
Either we believe every word of the Bible which is God or we don't sisters? High handed ness of scriptures is so prevalent today. Culture should not dictate His word. As in Genesis somewhere.. woman shall not have dominion over man ever again. Bc of the fall. Nice going Eve. I have joy and peace in being under a man Pastor but not joy nor peace under an apostate woman Pastor. I say this in love not legalism. I say this in the fear of the Lord.
@@iindahammermueller9865 Please see my earlier post in this thread (my apologies - I intended to write it as a reply to you but it appears that I did not).
Woman and men are equal to God but there is a divine order in God's kingdom. Woman can prophecy teach preach but cannot be pastors in a church. ..1 Timothy 2:12..Period. The woman is silent as far as that goes in church. They can however teach and preach those oto women and children in the church. I think being feminine and being masculine is a great gift of God. Man is stronger physically and therefore protects His wife and family. I like submitting to the authority of a true Godly Jesus believing Jesus loving and Jesus worshipping man. I like that the man can provide while a woman stays home with the children and cooks and makes the home a place of comfort and beauty and love with cooking cleaning praying raising up Godly children... Playing with them. The feminist movement divided what God brings together with the witchcraft movement in the church that says woman need to roar and be heard.. and fight for their rights. There is No love or unity in that. God knows best... If we just obey and stop making it about us and all about Him what a nation we could become.
This is video is taking what the bible say about women out of context.. Just because women are not permitted in the bible to be a preacher, doesn't mean that women should be silent in church..
Women could and should serve in many positions in church.. just not the preacher.. and all the women just focus on becoming one.. It's like when God told Adam and Eve not to eat the apple.. and the woman proceed to eat the apple
Jesus gave the great commission to ALL, right? Or only to men?
For some reason there are a host of people on this forum who are writing posts which have no more relevance than if I posted that "women should be able to be served before men in the supermarket". The contended issue across the ENTIRE world church is NOT whether women can evangelise.
@@philipbenjamin4720 I know right? Its clearl biblical illiteracy is one of the biggest issues plaguing the church. But not shocked. Churches who are in open rebellion like this procudce this kind of shallow interaction with Scripture.
I have lost all respect for you. Why would you say a predator needs time out? Robert Morris needs much more than time out. Have you completely lost your mind? I am praying that the Lord will continue to bring all the filth and corruption that plagues the Body of Christ.
So misguided God help you
You are
Everything that contradict the word of God is a false doctrine..every Scriptures are God breathed 2Timothy 3.16
All you have to do is to ask God to bless you with the Spirit of decernment..not every spirit you hear talking is a Holy Spirit..
Women should remain silent in the Churches..
Ma'am stop misleading people🙏
Why women are prophets if they should be silent? You make zero sense. I dont see any woman praying in tongues with the shot mouth…
All is clear for those seeking the truth and only To please God. This video is the bible unfolding just false teaching pleasing itchy ears like the bible warns in 2 Timothy 4:3
I believe that you are right in saying that Lisa is misleading people - but I don't believe that you have said enough to reveal what the HEART behind the 1 Timothy 2 passage is. Please search this page (Command F on Mac, Control Mac on Windows) for the two letters U2 - you will be led to a post in which I explain more about why it's important to discern God's heart behind his directives.
REPENT and come back to thw Bible
@@GloryToTheHighest are prophets also preachers..nooooooooo..
I love a good woman preacher and teacher. But not as the Pastor/Shepherd of a church.
