Can a women be a 'pastor'?

[Preecher]

Women also can become bishops in the Lutheran/Protestant Church of Germany!

Do they teach or have authority over men?

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

If you had a point to make, then oh I don't know...maybe you should have elaborated and made it.

Just because something looks beautiful to our eyes, does not mean it is a good thing (theologically/Biblically speaking).

Preecher keeps bringing up 1 Tim. 2:12. Having a woman officiating a service contradicts that, and is therefore in error Biblically.

If you believe having a woman as a pastor is a beautiful thing, is that something you can justify Biblically?

You've already said that it is justified "in your heart"; that God speaks to your heart and confirms it. My Mormon friends give the same reason for believing the Book of Mormon is true.

The book of Mormon isn't the bible and if you would spiritually read the bible you would see the beauty of God speaking from the mouth of His people as beautiful also. What right have you to condemn what God does not. Christ speaks through His bride. The speakers that speak their own words are the ones who are not His bride, those are condemned already.

Every theologists worth their salt knows that all wisdom comes from the silence. When you grow into a spiritualised theology you will know that.

Maybe you all should go post on the adult threads instead of trying to influence kids to obeying law instead of grace.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

I don't think this thread is in the proper forum... What does it have to do with children of preachers?

You should have said something four years ago. When you first posted.

I think it appeared on the "latest updated" threads when CF still had that feature. I didn't even realize the sub-forum.

Oh well, my father fills in at his church when the pastor is away or there's a vacancy. Does that count?

Asking this question is as hostile as answering it. Even if you believe women should lead.

This seems to be true unfortunately.

Some things seem to never change. I would worry about spreading false claims to kids.

How about like Joyce Meyers, is she consiterd more of a teacher?

And does anyone know where it is in the bible that states that a women cannot be a pastor?

1 Tim 3:1-2
A It is a trustworthy statement: if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do. 2 An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife,
NASU

How can a women be the Husband of one wife. Plus do you know of any female pastors in the Bible?

Acording to the bible and all that, Do you think a women could be a 'pastor'?

Women can preach the gospel, be missionaries, and do plenty of things to further the gospel of Christ (feed and clothe the poor and the hungry, visit the sick and suffering, etcetera)- the same as men. Every Christian is called to do those things. However, women can't administer the sacraments- so they can't be ordained to the deaconate or the priesthood.

With all respect - you've just tried to teach / correct a man.

Of course. Nothing makes us less qualified than men for anything, we are equally important.

 

[musicmanex]

people need to look at the context these rules were written in.... but the simple answer is yes.... woman can be pastors... God calls us all to minister and to do the things of the spirt.... so what are we talking about here.... a 'title'.... i know many woman who are pastors.... mainly youth pastors and stuff but still the church needs to stop being so legalistic about this stuff.....
