Woman behind the Pulpit

[Rev. G]

Joel 2 and Acts 2 have nothing to do with serving as a pastor/elder.

Look at all of these great women of God who are in the pulpit: Juanita Bynum, Paula White, Joyce Meyer,etc.

What makes these women great? It certainly isn't their theology....

Rev. G</font>[/QUOTE]</font>[/QUOTE]I believe the anointing given to them by God is what makes these women so great. You know, I really need to do more research on this topic because I have heard about this before so now it is time to search the scriptures and see what God really says about the issue.

Rev G, what did you mean by it certainly isn't there theology? I am not trying to be funny, I really want to understand what you are trying to say. Also, it seems that as time went by with this discussion, the issue went from one to another. To make things clear, are we discussing women who bring the word of God or women who may be pastors? These are to different discussions. So, can someone please set the record straight.
Thank you!!!

Fair questions...

This discussion has generally been, I believe, about women as pastors. I may be wrong. That has been a recurring theme on this website.

As far as the theology promoted by the women you mentioned, it is quite horrendous. That these women have a very good ability to communicate is not the issue, for they certainly do have such ability.

If you insist that the matter of female pastors is just a matter of "differing interpretations," where do you draw the line? Do you draw the line at some point and time regarding "differing interpretations"? For example, the issue of universalism is one of "differing interpretations". Do you understand what I'm trying to get at with this?

Rev. G

I'm not a fan of universalism, but I think I know where you're going on this. I don't think the Bible makes a strong case for universalism, but there are good biblical cases for women both being allowed and not allowed to be in the pulpit. Since I see Paul's view of women in the church as I have already stated, I don't see that allowing women to be pastors should be forbidden today.
