Very respectfully taught, I love this and I agree 💯! ❤️

I have just found this channel and I must say, this channel is very much Holy Spirit lead. I’ve learned a lot and it matches with the Bible and unfortunately that is getting harder and harder to find these days. So, thank you❤️🙏🏼

He speaks truth. He is a true Man of God. No sugar coating.

This is by far the best video I have watched on this subject. He explains flawlessly the biblical truths behind the roles of men and women. His Trinity illustration was just wow. Bravo pastor! I am beyond grateful for your summerization of this topic

Amen...This is what I try to explain to my husband...I need my husband to fill his shoes that God gave him. I cannot train up my son as a man, he needs to do that. ..I can show my son and explain what God says what women are to do and behave...but the man, husband, and father is to do that by practicing and demonstrating it..Husband should not be expecting the wife to be his equal as a man..but as a woman according to God's biblical instructions. A woman is equal before God in a spiritual sense but not to take the place of what God says in his word that belongs to the man!! In conclusion, I can teach my son how a human being is to seek god and follow his instructions through his word, by explaining what God's word says about how a man should conduct himself, but in the end... if a father is living in the household...whatever he believes will be transmitted to the male child, Godly or ungodly. Hopefully it is godly! Men take your place and bring them up according to God so that your sons will continue God's legacy of becoming a spirit filled, godly man, husband, and father. If the household does not have a father....of course the mother will be instructing the male child...what the bible says what a man is ...not our version of what a man is. This also goes for women to their daughters, to grow their daughters as God said to train them up.

I’ve never heard a pastor talk like this ... amazing 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Thank you so much for awesome wisdom through biblical perspectives(Rick Smith,Todd Wagner)including whole entire team support.Pray for me sir,so that i can go through like you guys are doing right now.I love,like and support to learn bible in a detail without any contradiction.

Very well said Pastor, thanks for sharing!

Great word. I used to be Senior Pastor of a mega-Church. I have a Masters Degree in Theology. God showed me ten years ago- that I needed to resign. God does not want us women in ministry, because we rule with emotions. However I think the problem is feminism, it is a cancer in the CHurch and in society. I don't blame the men at all. I have now joined a fellowship where women are silent in all Church meetings, it is really liberating to serve behind the scenes and not to try to do something that I am not called or gifted for.

There is one thing none can dispute within the body of believers. If you wake daily to the pulling of teaching God’s people you can not deny that. The Holy Spirit will not lie to you. I believe any woman called to preach or teach had better know that she is being led and not acting for other reasons. I have no problem with anyone teaching as long as it is the truth. We all do that daily as believers through our testimonies. Well, when applying Scripture to the testimony. You basically are teaching at that moment. I agree one hundred percent that if man was doing what he was called to do there would be no need for God to allow women to be in these positions. I think all women desire a good leader but so many men have failed it’s now no turning back. I thank God for his Spirit because the Spirit will lead all to the truth.

He is right and the bible say so accept what God say . We are all equal but with different roles.

Thank you Gentlemen for your guidance on this matter. May God Bless you:)

Now comes one of the first contemporary novels portraying a female pastor in the evangelical community, highlighting the tension and controversy surrounding her leadership role. From the pen of bestselling author Randall Arthur, the story takes place in a small Georgia town with plenty of colorful characters and drama. A riveting, true-to-life story that will challenge, entertain and inspire. “I have read few stories that have pulled me in like A Quiet Roar. It confronts the very cultural foundations of the North American church. This is a must read.” - Dr. Butch Entrekin, Community Bible Church “You had me on the tip of my toes from the start of the book till the end of the book. The book is bold, honest, educational, and inspiring.” - Anna Strawn, Junior, Auburn University “Praise for A Quiet Roar. Mr. Arthur has a gift of drawing you into his story from the first page. A Quiet Roar has made an impact on my life unlike any other book. It will continue in my heart and life for a long time.” - Jimmy Cochran, columnist for the Henry Times. “Over the years I have read a ton-and I mean a ton of books. After all, my work as a pastor requires I read, read, and read some more. If you read no other novel this coming year, please please please read A Quiet Roar. Take a hot topic -female pastors; add a lot of small town church drama; a mysterious woman; and even more mysterious benefactor; a dash of contemporary culture and world events; and I kid you not, you have a recipe for a lot of sleepless nights. I guarantee your life and faith will no longer be the same.” - Bill Grandi, Senior Pastor. A Quiet Roar is available now on Amazon (both in paperback and e-book versions) and is also available at www.RandallArthur.com.

You did an excellent job in explaining the scripture, and it was very respectfully said. Thank you!

It's because of Godless leadership that a WOMAN needs to step up 👍. Listen to him y'all 💯. A woman can't be submissive to an oppressor! She needs a successor! Can I get an AMEN 🙌.

The underlining issue is “godliness”. We must examine our motives. Truth is most of us are unwilling by nature of our sinful flesh to submit to God, let alone to fleshly authority. The question is, what’s in your heart. Is it in your heart to serve? To build up the body of Christ? To submit to God and so His will? To deny yourself, to esteem others as more excellent than yourself? In that we must seek our roles. It’s not about our egos. It’s about glorifying God. I should not as a woman want to go into researching scriptures on this matter with a motive to underline any bias I might already hold. I should want to know whatever God says, really. And that I will want to do. If God truly wants me to be quiet, then I will want to be quiet because my spirit wants to please Him! If God wants me to teach, in order to edify and strengthen the church, then I be damned if I ignore such a calling! Discernment, prayer, Holy Spirit, ultimately having a heart of a submissive servant of God, is what it is. Only God truly knows our hearts and we ought to be very afraid of lying to God and acting as if we were entitled to anything. We are bought with a price, we are not our own. As far as Timothy goes, look up the word “authentein” in Greek. Very interesting word study. Truth is that wether you’re a man or a woman, not everyone is even meant to teach either for lack of understanding scripture, or being immature as a Christian. So before we try and grab a hold of any teaching position we must be so careful not to take on a role we are not called to fulfil regardless of gender. Teachers will be judged more harshly, so the responsibility is greater.

Love this!

The Sabbath is from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday.....a woman can testify..sing his praises...but remain silent ..her husband is the head of the house

Junia was a female Apostle in Romans 16! Mary Magdalene was the first Evangelist.

I’ve recently had this conviction. After Shari g with my wife, I understand that it is hard to know what glorified God in practice. We are currently searching for a new church community that is more similar to us and also honors this biblical teaching. We are both 23 and it’s difficult to find where we’re from. For example, we have been to a church where the pastor often teaches in collaboration with his wife. So in what context, if any, are women aloud to co-teach.

The only thing I don't understand is what I, as a woman, can say to a man. If I want to speak Biblical truth to share the Gospel, am I allowed to do that? I don't mean as a pastor, but just out of the abundance of the Spirit that lives within me.

I agree with the content in your video and with some others you have done. I've noticed that a lot of viewers disagree strongly. Disagreement and scriptural confrontation is good for correction. Shouldn't the disagreements be based scriptural precepts? A non-biblical position does not shape scripture. The Creator wants scripture to shape the creature.

Thank you for answering with Biblical truth !

I listened to the pastor's wife speak today, because he was out. I'm not sure if this was a problem? But, I will tell you that it was a great service and the message was bold.

Context of Scripture please! I still don't understand why even today people take a Bible verse on its own and slap others in the face! I pray we all learn to read Scripture properly so that we can explain it properly and not establish our own interpretation and ideas of what it means. God bless.

LOVE this. Glory to God, thanks Todd!

Is it teaching for a woman to give her testimony and share her experience with God to a large group of people? Thank you for this video ☺️

Humble explanation..

Love your show be blessed

Very good

Thanks, I really needed to hear this.

Great explanation!

What about Philips daughters who prophecied. Or the scripture for women to have their heads covered when they Pray or prophecy? Anna was a prophetess. There is neither male or female is in the spiritual life, in the natural life I agree with you.

*Real Truth. Real Quick. You have to understand to whom Paul was ADDRESSING & WHY* . . . Timothy was a young man. Probably late teens or early twenties. And that whole church was full of not only Baby Believers, but young Believers that came out of a Pagan Lifestyle. And Paul was ADMONISHING for Timothy to get some *GUSTO* (Rhema from Heaven) . .. *GUSTO* ARCHAIC a relish or liking. "he had a particular gusto for those sort of performances" 2. ARCHAIC style of artistic execution. Why? ... because the children of YAHWEH in that Church became out of order. Just like in the Church of Corinth. He told the men that he wished they would pray lifting holy hands without being angry. Why? Because they were not praying. And instead arguing, or had their hands in the air, because the woman were praying, possibly at home & at church. And they may have heard from the Holy Spirit. But the men, did not. And the woman were taking over. They fell out of order. A woman CAN Teach & Preach. But must not LORD herself over the man, the way evil people do; the world. You know like you see in politics. It was going so awry. Timothy wrote to Paul for help. Paul wrote back with Admonition & Encouragement & so as for Timothy to Share the Letters to keep order. Paul even made mention to thank Timothy's Mother & Grandmother for helping in this manner, because they were out of order. HE did say there is no male or female, jew or gentile, free or bond: because all are ONE IN THE LORD YAHUSHUA. MALACHI 2 . . . HE addressed the Priests because they were dealing ABUSIVELY (Treacherously) with their own wives. *And it is a prophecy for today. HE is angry at the unholy Teaching of the Priests, especially about divorce* . . . Not sure what this Church Org stance is on Divorce. But YAHUSHUA told those who asked about Divorce that Moses gave the Writing of Divorce because their HEARTS were HARDENED. *HARDENED* adjective 1. having become or been made hard or harder.

Not sure what this Church teaches regarding these thing. but *a woman can MOST DEF, DEF, DEFINITELY Teach & Preach, IF she is ORDAINED of the Lord YAHUSHUA* and not by the World Secular Council of Churches either. But by YAHWEH HIMSELF. .... continued .....

Leaders in the home as well

Christ has specified the role of leadership for the men in the church-elders (1 Tim. 3:1-7), deacons (1 Tim. 3:8-13), preachers and worship leaders (1 Tim. 2:1-12; 4:13-16). Christ has therefore specified a role of submission for the women in the church. While this concept is highly unpopular in today’s culture, it is, nevertheless, His plan. Let us consider what the New Testament teaches in this regard. Women are called to “learn in silence with all submission” (1 Tim. 2:11). This emphasizes a spirit of attentiveness and receptiveness, which a woman of God has toward the male leaders in the church. The woman is not inferior to the man or of less worth or the target of discrimination, any more than Christ is inferior to God (cf. 1 Cor. 11:3). It is a matter of roles that have been assigned.

Thank you!

There are about no men in church. I am part of an Evangelistic team who shares the gospel with men and woman. Does that mean I now have to stop helping men getting saved?

I love this explanation!!!!

I understand the scripture and agree but i would like to know if you would say joyce meyer is wrong/incorrect for her ministry? or any woman who is leading a church or ministry.

Praise the Lord and Thank you pastor for wonderful msg and references what about the girls who are in ungodliness who don't know all these things and nobody taught them about these scriptures in their lives I hve seen of the girls know about our Lord Jesus but don't know about what bible(unknown to them) is saying. Girls came from other religions. Because lot of persecution is taking place in their lives to read the word of God. How these girls are treated in the sight of God. How God will help them.

I started a Bible study at my church with a woman teacher, all where woman for first 3 months, then 3 men joined in with their wives. We have a Mens Bible study. It makes me uncomfortable. It’s blurring the lines for me. I dropped out. Let your yes be yes and your no be no. Math 5:37

Good word brother.. Amen!!

Good teaching

Why is he not answering the question directly with a yes or no?

Wow nobody in my church tough my about this and role

"You need to call those men into account" - isn't that exercising spiritual authority over men? The way men have shown "authority" over women is so perverted and evil that any suggestion that it's biblical is to make God a misogynist. What usually comes to mind is power, control, abuse, domination with coercion and physical strength. Unfortunately, feminism tried to fix this legitimate problem and made things much worse. I think this misunderstanding is a real stumbling block to people becoming Christians. It doesn't help that the church as a whole can't seem to understand or agree on the biblical verses pertaining to women and reputable scholars and apologists will have rather differing conclusions.

1 tim 2 and 1 cor 14;35 in 1 tim paul talks about ONE woman who was not allowed to teach ONE man because she usurped authority over the man. no believer has the right to usurp the authority over the other. nor man nor a woman. paul used singular form in that passage and spoke about one specific woman. not to women in general. especially that just a few verses earlier paul was addressing the issue of modesty and spoke about women in general, in PLURAL form. God does know the difference between plural and singular. in 1 cor 14;35 where it says that women are not allowed to speak in church paul meant that women were not supposed to CHAT (disturb by talking, chatting) in the church. a few verses earlier in that same chapter paul was saying in verse 26 paul says "How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying." - that means that each, whether a man or a woman is supposed to share a teaching, a revelation, or any other thing they receive from God in order to edify the church. col 3;16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." - again, the same paul says here that we all are to TEACH and ADMONISH one another when we gather together. also in 1 cor 11 paul (3 chapters earlier) paul talks about women praying and prophesying in church - so he could not mean in 1 cor 14;35 that women cannot speak. most teaching on the subject of family and women's role are based on man's traditions and ignorance and pride, not on the Word of God. which is very sad. additionally, pastor is not a position of authority not a title. it is a role and a function. being a pastor means you take care of the sheep, of other believers, help them in whatever they need you to do. you dont even have to teach others. you are a care giver. also, in 1 tim 2;5 we read that there is only One Mediator between God and men. when you accept another person, another human being as your head, authority or a priest/pastor then you make that person an antichrist because they stand in the PLACE of Christ. the Lord Yeshu Hamashiyah said in mat 23;10 "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ." there is only ONE AUTHORITY over us and that is only Lord Yeshu Hamashiyah. the Bible says that husband and wife are one flesh so they are one head and they are both submitted to the only Headship of the Lord Yeshu Hamashiyah and they are to be submitted one to another (eph 5;21). when you look at people through their gender you look at them through their flesh... that is being carnally minded.

lol... no where in the bible are men rebuked for being "misogynist" or commanded to pretend they are women to show servant leadership also women are never commanded to rebuke those in authority over them... so much for being biblical you seem to seek to cater more to the culture than the bible...

When God's true word is spoken, you can expect majority of the population to disagree. To follow Jesus Christ means to have more people against you than supporters. If they crucified Jesus for sharing the truth...what do you think they will do to us???

Paul worked with so many women in ministry. Apart fro Deborah and Anna the judge and prophetess. You have to take into consideration what was happening at that time and was this permanent or temporal of which was temporal for these people he wrote the letter to had a culture of women inferior n men superior.

This is the problem. Phebe was a deacon. And Paul recommended other women who were in ministry. This kind of teaching has put a stumbling block between women and the fellowship through the Holy Spirit. It has hindered the move of the Spirit in Christ's called out ones, preventing the gifts of the Spirit from being mannafest when the Ecclesia gathers together. We are to be in the Spirit in our gatherings, not mindful of the flesh, so that by the Spirit, each may give a testimony, a hymn, a prayer, prophecy, tongue and interpretation etc. The scriptures being used to silence women in the gatherings are and have been taken out of context, and I believe it is why there is so little power mannafested in the church in America and Europe.

FIrstly, be a good parent.

We have a bit of a different perspective in what scripture actually says about this issue. Here is our video on the topic: www.givelify.com/givenow/1.0/MjY5NTQ=/selection

He acts like it’s novel and unique that they don’t demean their wives and ask women for feedback on the church lol.

Pastor Greg Boyd and Nikole bring out all the cultural background in which Paul was speaking as well as scriptures on women who were in positions of leadership like Junia, Phebe, Deborah etc : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eap4oJqm1dK6Zqs.html

I'm glad I'm Catholic. I come here for the entertainment. Ask the pastor if it's ok to have women priests

God does not want women to teach and preach, and "usurp the authority" of men. He has forbidden it, for it is the Lord Christ himself who has given the command, through the apostle Paul. "As in all the congregations of the saints, 34 women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. 35 If they want to enquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for **it is disgraceful for a woman** to speak in the church. 36 Did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 37 If anybody thinks he is a prophet or spiritually gifted, **let him acknowledge** that what I am writing to you is *the Lord's* command. 38 If he ignores this, he himself will be ignored." 1 Corinthians 14:33-38 (ANIV) . As it is the Lord's command, that is the end of all rebellious arguments, for they run opposite to what the Lord himself has commanded. The authentic humble "Daughters of Sarah" will be eager and pleased to obey. The rebellious daughters of the "Devil and his angels" will contend to do the very opposite. For they have come under the curse of God as St. Paul has well warned they would do. " That's why God will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe a lie. 12 Then everyone who did not believe the truth, but was delighted with what God disapproves of, will be condemned." 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 (GW)

churches where the wife is also ordained..what is your take on that?

the same as a man. Spread the gospel.

What about Acts 18:24-26?

His treatment of 1 Tim 2.12 is appalling. He takes no account of the situation this letter was written to address - false teaching in a city (Ephasis) dominated by the temple cult of the godess Artemis. He doesn't mention that the word 'authority' is 'authentein in the Greek and appears only here in the whole New Testament. It is much debated what it means, but many agree it has the connotation of violence and oppression, perhaps sexual oppression. Why doesn't Paul use the normal word he uses for authority elsewhere, 'exousia'? Woman is singular - not 'women', but a 'woman'. Is someone specific in mind here? 'Permit/Allow' - the word epitrepo and its present tense suggests this prohibition is for a time only - not a blanket prohibition of all women everywhere. And of course, in verse 11 Paul says that a woman should learn (imperative!) without being disrupted. This is the same attitude Jesus had when he allowed Mary to learn at his feat - the place of a disciple - revolutionary for the time when the education of women was frowned upon. In fact, Paul uses the same language used of any male disciple at that time - that they should learn in all submission. Paul and Jesus elevated women above the cultural restrictions of the time. The truth of 1 Tim 2 isn't that all women everywhere should be forbidden to teach but that at that time a women was allowed to learn and for the time being, not be allowed to teach, until she had learned. Of course, the subtlety of this type of reading of the Bible might be lost on those determined to ignore the original language and rip verses out of their historical, cultural and literary context to create laws that, in this case, prohibit all women everywhere from being restored to their God ordained position of standing with and co-ruling the earth with men. As I listen to this man I'm convinced that we are looking at the new Pharisaism - making laws where there should be no laws.

Would have been a better video if you had invited one of the female previous Generals of the Salvation Army to discuss this issue with you. Why do some churches have women in the MOST SENIOR positions (eg The Salvation Army?) if it is forbidden in scripture? Does that make the Salvation Army (one of the most respected Christian organisations in the world) something other than a Godly organisation? What do Christian women with the ability to lead (such as women in the world who are CEO's etc.) do when they find themselves in a Church that does not allow them to lead? What are other people's thoughts?

God made man according to His own image and likeness. Man AND woman He made them. Same fullness. In Christ differences in man-woman cease to exist. We ALL with unveiled faces reflect His glory and are being changed into His Image from glory to glory by the Spirit who is the Lord. Same fullness. It is common knowledge that the early churchfathers added, manipulated the word of God. So just saying: it is written, without Spirit revelation by Holy Spirit can do a lot of harm. I know woman that preach that are in error, i know man that preach and are a horrible representation of how Christ intented life to be. Truth doesn't change. We are all complete in Christ. Man and woman alike. And grow in to Him in all things. Col 2:9-10. The fullness of deity dwells in Jesus bodily and YOU HAVE BEEN MADE COMPLETE IN HIM (the last Adam!) who is the head of all principality and power. Because of what God did in Christ you automatically became what you are already. A new creation in Christ. A partaker of the divine nature for free. 2 Pet 1:3-4. We awake by the Spirit to that fact and grow in to Him, the normal divine nature, for free. Because of His great love for us, His creation. 2 Cor 3:18. Out of His fullness we have received. Good news, joy unspeakable. God came, took us in and restored us back to original created value to walk as Jesus. As He is.... so are we. All that is His is ours. The Father in Christ and Christ in us. Seamless oneness. For free. Yay! Thank you Jesus for opening our eyes to the inexpressible riches, the normal divine nature, we have received in You. Women. Preach it, teach it, live it! You are so equally in!!! Let's share the good news.

What if a husband wants a baby and the wife just doesn't ever want a baby for non-medical reason (busy, work, travelling, studies, enjoy life, slim body, etc). Is this called not submitting to husband? Don't wives have the rights to their own body?

You only forgot the context. And it doesn’t do good to the rest of the content.

He wont teach corinthians 14:34 Why wont he teach on this? Is he afraid to teach the hard truths of God?

Why Jesus said to Mary: going to your god and my god? Does Jesus have a god?

Ok so how many prophetesses do you have who function in your church? The function being to speak the prophetic word which is direction and correction based. That is what a Prophet does. Because that is what 4 of Timothys daughters did. Are you all going to say they are "not allowed" to do that too? Because they must be quiet in the church. Or maybe, just maybe, you should lookmat the wording Paul used and the context in the original language. Because it is entirely dishonourable to a woman to have spent decades prostrating herself first before God and then before men so they would maybe throw her a crumb, deign to use her in ministry, and stop calling her divisive or out of order for being strong and Godly. Pat answers and NO LIFE GIVING SPIRIT here is there?

John MacArthur needs to watch this video.

Why then Jesus said that the father is greater than him?

Women can’t be elder in church? Asking because we have an women elder in our church

Women can not hold an office in the church. 1 Timothy 2:11-12. That's a Doctrine of God.

I am shocked. What Paul taught about women is to be understood from a cultural background, just like his teaching on slaves. Women can well be elders as women can well preach on Sundays. Just look at Joyce Meyer. She even had to leave the church because no one was supporting her. Do you really think she should have submitted? Should she stop her ministry because of verses which are to be understood culturally? Your point of view is intolerable. It is so disrespectful. Go on your knees and repent. Seriously!

is it wrong for a women to lead worship in church?

Women were asked not to speak because they were disrupting the service at The time of that writing. Women can teach as long as they have a man in a position of authority Over them. Look at Joyce Meyer - One of the most successful women teachers of our time. The Bible says if our right hand causes us to sin cut it off. Does God want us to Mangal our bodies? NO! Sometimes you need to look deeper into the scriptures and stop looking at it one dimensional.

This doesn't take account of who Paul was writing to and what was going on. Timothy was in Ephesus when Paul wrote to him. Ephesus was the epicentre of the worship of Artemis or Diana. In those temples, the women took a strong lead in a pagan worship whereby they were prostitutes and it was all about fertility and virility. The women were used to shouting out and prophesying but not from God and Paul had to urge them now to stop. In 1 Corinthians 11 we see in some bibles that the man is head of the woman, yet in others it is that the husband is head of the wife. That is because in Greek the word for 'man' and 'husband' are the same as are 'woman' and 'wife'. Logically, is every man the head of every woman? Is another man the head of your wife? No. So the translation should read that the husband is head of the wife in the context. At Judges 4 and 5 God chose Deborah to prophesy, not Barak. There is no mention even of her getting permission of her husband, Lapidoth, but she went with Barak, the leader of the army in order to pass on instruction from God to him. God uses whom he chooses and it is not for any of us to go above him if He has called someone. It is a myth that Deborah was chosen because all the men were weak and there is no scripture to support that argument. This is a sermon from Woodland Hills on the subject: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eap4oJqm1dK6Zqs.html

Ephesians 4 - gifts were given to men (generic meaning men and women) pastors, apostles, teachers, prophets. According to this man, we will teach Christian girls they are excluded from the gifts of pastors, apostles and teachers and likely only prophesy when given permission. They will be saved through child bearing. Really? I don't think this man is trained in hermeneutics. Let's handle the word correctly and rise up to full maturity in the church. Please..... let God determine the giftings, not men. We are living in days where we need the full muscle of the church exercising through men and women. Blessings.

In our church women have had all the roles and men to this day still sit in the sidelines its gotten so in balanced that to say a women is not permitted to teach Tim 1:12. Wood be racism and they wood be offended and hurt and the male pastor who hires women need a be replaced with Godly men who can take a stand on the word of God

dude, please stop talking. i literally cannot deal with this.

He interprets Scripture as badly as John MacArthur... terrible!

Terrible....
