Grace to You
"My father took his stand in the liberal-fundamentalist conflict. The issue then was the inspiration and authority of Scripture. My dad was bold and relentless, always with grace, to defend the Bible as inspired by God in total."


Evangelist Jack Macarthur (father) at a church with a woman pastor:

 

I have shown you, in 1 Timothy 2, and in practicing Christianity...worldwide...that God gives women the gift of teaching and shepherding skills. The facts are simple. Women can. The evidence is overwhelming, women can.

However, men should. There is covenant reasons why men should that go back to Adam. This is what Paul is getting at when he references Adam and Eve.

What I see in your comments is a stubborn unwillingness to look at data while making assertions from some comment John MacArthur made while doing nothing yourself.
That's your choice, but you have nothing in your own personal argument that makes your assertion anything else than blustering on your part.

 

Here I'll remind you.

Now maybe I'm not "comprehending" this, but it seems as if your statement here presupposes a biblical argument. And being as you dismissed Reynolds appeal to John MacArthur, it seems rather weasely to now appeal to denominational differences.

The only accuracy problems are yours. You haven't actually shown me where it is I said you are a liberal, or that you affirm homosexuality, you have simply read into my statement what is not there, similarly to how you read into scripture what isn't there.

If you are incapable of actually addressing why you believe Galatians 3:28 supports your position, that is ok, just say so. But talking down to me doesn't prove your point either, it makes you look rather cowardly.

 

There are NO scripture to support women being either in positions of spiritual authority such as pastor or Elders in a local church

 

Dr MacArthur does not hold infallible theology, but he is spot on regarding women as Pastors and elders per the Bible

 

I agree that my initial comment was rather brash, and it would have been better to make a clearer distinctions (someone like you - someone who uses the same style of argument as you). That being said, I did not call you a liberal, nor did I imply that you affirm homosexuality. And I have made clarifications to it since.

 

It does seem though that opening up to woman ordination seem to also many times lead to liberal views on scriptures and sexuality!

 

I agree it typically leads there, I've seen it happen here locally.

 

You have shown me a misapplication of 1 Tim and you have shown me examples of women in rebellion to the Word of God.

Mac lays out the Scriptural case. Refute it. You can't. All you can do is make unscriptural claims like Beth Moore.
I posted you the Scripture. Women can not teach men in all the churches. Refute it! You can't. Simple enough. All you can do is compile a list of people who are in rebellion and error.

 

So no women teachers is an absolute but head coverings are not?

 

You say it's a misapplication, but you have nothing other than "Mr Mac says so."
I already showed you that women teach the Bible to men all around the world. The issue here is not whether women can teach. The issue is whether you will listen to women when they teach. You simply state that you won't even listen. This comes off as silly since you would rather listen to a baby Christian who has not been given the gift of teaching, but is a man, instead of listen to a mature female Christian with a vast education and a God-given gift of teaching.
Frankly, that's just bullheaded stupidity on your part.

 

You can favor it all you want... This has be hashed and rehashed since I first joined, this is nothing new... Type in the search box Women Pastors... And you can see how many times it has, but I go by scripture not by favor... So lets look at scripture, not personal opinion.

1 Timothy 2:9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;

2:10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

1Timothy 3:1 This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;

3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;

3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;

3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)

3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

3:7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.

Your argument is not with me or with those who hold to this truth, your argument is with scripture!... Brother Glen

 

ALL I ask is for ANY NT verse that supports women as pastors or Elders!
