Top Ten Reasons Why Men Should Not Be Ordained

Passion 2010—Louie Giglio introducing speaker Beth Moore: God has called her forth to speak to a whole generation around the world

 

He seems to be in agreement that it is ok for her to teach men.

 

Passion is not segregated. Louie Giglio and thousands of other men and women sat under Mrs. Moore's teaching there. And she was invited back this year.

 

And I don't.

Peace.

 

I like this thinking. One of the worst injustices in churches today is that half of those called aren;t allowed to do what God calls them to do.

 

How so?....................

 

Nor will you find one. Usually, those who allow for women pastors make it a cultural issue.

 

Um, no they don't.

Usually they appeal to scriptures that tell a woman how to dress while preaching.

Now that may or may not translate to being a pastor.

But it sure isn't an appeal to culture.

 

What I mean is that People who allow for woman preachers will state that certain bible passages that they deem are masonginistic are that way because of the culture of that time. Not that the apostles actually prohibit women from being leaders of the Church but were addressing the culture of that day. That culture is no longer relevant in todays church and therefore women have as much right to church leadership as the men. Thus when the scriptures say Older women should teach only the younger women they will cite how in that culture women couldn't teach men but the application is no longer relevant. Then they point to people like Dorcus etc....

 

excerpt from Walter and Olive Liefeld, "A Difficult Journey," in How I Changed My Mind About Women in Leadership: Compelling Stories From Prominent Evangelicals (2010):

"Perhaps the first one that troubled Walt was that those (including himself in those early days) who insisted on women’s head covering also thought that women should not be speaking publicly in church. Yet 1 Corinthians 11:2–16 makes it clear that the head coverings were to be worn when women prayed or prophesied. If they were not speaking, why wear a head covering? The answer that people gave when we inquired about this was that women were indeed praying, even though silently, and therefore should wear the head covering. The next logical question was, “But how can they prophesy silently?”"

 

The scriptures are not a multiple choice i believe this but not that.You speak as if the teaching and commands are suggestions or accesories that we pick and choose.

 

I think actually it's a matter of interpretation, not just choosing what to beleive and what to not believe.

 

There are many churches that do. The question is not: Does your church do it? But rather, Should your church be doing it? If this command is a Biblical command then the answer is yes. Do we follow American tradition or the Bible, which one?

 

Having lived in Canada, and knowing its liberal culture, does one follow Canadian culture, or Scripture?
