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 KZfaq. Both filled with biblical and historical references presented in a fun and digestible way.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:

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!!!

It comes down to what we value the most - people's self-presentation - or God's will for our lives as outlined in scripture.

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 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

@@ari3lz3pp you wrote: 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 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 Read time: 12 minutes postable here

@@JamesHazelhurst-xd5pw 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.

I also would appreciate a mom like her! ❤ 😅 At least we can hear from her this way!

So cute ❤

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

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').

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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 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.

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.

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?

You need to be able to explain Deborah properly first. Her story is the first matter to understand. I suggest my free essay her. Postable here.

Part 11 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.

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.) Major modern English translations like the NASB use the phrasing ...whom I commanded to shepherd My people... 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 Some believe that pastor (or shepherd), is a position that was created in the New Covenant. This is not true. In the Old Testament shepherds are mentioned multiple times. Often in a negative way. “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]

@@lightpinksalt 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]

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?

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.

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.

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.

You are

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
