You can choose to believe what you want.

wowcatty:
I believe it’s the spirit of God, maybe I didn’t put it well. What I meant by a fellowship hall is small room for about 20 people. And not leading a prayer in church like a pastor after preaching. See ehn, we all see true worship differently. I don’t believe you can really worship God in spirit and in truth if you wear shoes during prayer, with women hair uncovered and so many other things.

Splendour99:
Well, if you read the whole chapter of 1 Corinthians 14, he was addressing how things should be done in a local church gathering. He never referred to marriage at all, unless you want to read that into his words.

wowcatty:
NO!!!!
Each time I’m feeling overwhelmed with his grace and asked God if I should open a church to show gratitude, the answer I got in the past was, “if you’ve had an abortion, you have blood in your hands and can’t build me a house” but now I’m getting “you can have a fellowship hall where you can meet for Bible studies, share testimonies and reach out to the needy in your community, but you must never lead a prayer or preach, a man must always lead in prayer”

Jughead29:
Woman should not because of some facts in the Bible.

When a woman is in her monthly period cycle, they are not to be seen near the pulpit.

Woman already have enough to face in this life that they will be called to lead God's people instead of man.

What happened when the woman pastor is in her cycle?
Or when she's pregnant?

Just that in Africa and mostly in Nigeria, I really do not know where they got the doctrine they preach today.

Splendour99:
They were God's commandments through Paul for the setup of the church, and not Paul's opinions.

1 Corinth 13:37, "If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

Splendour99:
The context of the two portions of Scripture I quoted is not Paul writing about marriage, but how he wants the leadership of the local church to be structured.

shey na una talk say OLD THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY.
just wait. the real question starts when TEENAGERS start opening churches online and offline. What will you ask when this starts to happen? ARE TEENAGERS ALLOWED TO BE PASTORS? Jesus wasn't even a teenager when he started teaching, right? But old men pastors will gather and speak against this when the day comes.
We have not seen half of what this religion thing will cause but mark these words and wait for it.

spiSeyi:
Read 2 Timothy 4 and contrast , and Deborah nor were never a priest don't just argue show us where in the Bible where they were identified as a priest. Don't try to interpret the Bible the Bible is well explanatory enough.

Splendour99:
According to the Bible, no, a woman should not pastor a church gathering where there men involved. But she can teach in a women-only program. But these days, most people do whatever they like without consulting the Scriptures.

1 Timothy 2:12-14, "I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor."

1 Corinthians 14:33-35, "For God is not a God of confusion but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church."

It's not possible for a hen to coo like a cock! But sometimes anomalies do happen! Some will see this as being sexist or sexual inequality! But males and females are not equal. Each has their own roles!

spiSeyi:
Were they leading the church those were activists and not religious leaders. Read your Bible

Imma624:
But what do we say about Churches who gives pastor, bishop, apostleship title to female.
Are they not true church and don't you consider it gender inequality if men are only permitted to pastor a Church

WhatIf:
Capital NO, it is unscriptural! Women were not permitted to lead where there is men!

Imma624:
The issue of a woman pastoring a church is a subject of controversy today. Some argued for with their own explanation while some argued against.
To you, should a woman pastor a Church? Let's discuss

I thought on nairaland, one of the section was religion. What i am seeing is Christianity etc and Islam

Anyway back to the matter. lets see what they will all say tomorrow including thise that saw this olan crash in 2010 and those that saw it coming tomorrow

AntiChristian:
There's no verse for Jesus or any of his disciples chasing their wives?

Everything erotic goes to Proverbs and Solomon!

And Solomon had 300 wives and 700 concubines!

honesttalk21:
Gen 4:26 as most parts of Genesis is said to be written by Moses and the event in Gen 4:26 happened fairly well before Moses was.

I don't succumb to Allah being same as YHVH as this will limit the uniqueness of Allah.



Allah simply means the one and only God..

Allah is the unique, eternal, and all-powerful being who created and oversees everything

Ken4Christ:
Giving is accepted according to your faith. We are still growing. And Jesus knows that. So, while we are still babies in our faith walk, his mercy covers us. But the ultimate goal is to grow up to the measure of the fullness of Christ. At that point, it won't be difficult to give all. But start from somewhere. Anything less than 10% is unacceptable. God is even very lenient. Most government tax is from 30% and above. They don't even ask your permission to collect it. In most developed countries, it's 50% and above and no one is protesting.

honesttalk21:
Quite out of the scope of my direct questions.
Was Moses not Hebrew?
Did people and prophets before Moses call God YHWH?

What really is the meaning of YHWH anyway?

I have told you before that Allah is not a compound of Al and lah but a single name
Allah is a unique, indivisible name, not a title or derived form.

Allah is the proper name for the one true God in Islam. It's a unique term that isn't a combination of Al (the) and Ilah (god)

However you always remain obstinate.

honesttalk21:
There in your answer you ignore to answer if Moses was or wasn't Hebrew?

Oh you with a concept of God that communicates with his prophets in ways they do not understand? How confusing?

You claim YHWH was not a name for God amongst Hebrew speakers before Moses? Please read and understand your scripture.

Not surprised that you belittle your creator and make comparison to mortals. Tell me is Donald Trump now your creator or comparable to him?

What does Genesis 4:26 say?

honesttalk21:
The issue really isn't there unless you create it.

Is YHVH same as Ubangidi, Chukwu or Oluwa of Hausa, Igbo or Yoruba language. Maybe we may never know for certain being that so far there doesn't seem to be a documented revelation in any of these languages to prophets from these tribes.

The almighty God in Arabic, the language in which the Quran was revealed to prophet Muhammad pbuh is Allah. It shouldn't be confused with Illah that means the god.

Pre-islamic Arabs recognised Allah as the almighty God though they had their polytheist ways. They claimed worship of their idols as a means to reach the almighty God.

Perhaps you should also investigate if Adonai, HaShem, Kyrios also refer to the same being YHVH refers to?

Ken4Christ:
Because not everyone has the faith to meet up with the demands of our Lord Jesus. The early church did it on two recorded occasions. So, we should at least start from the least requirement and step up over time. God loves a generous and cheerful givers. But I must say here that the administration of money received through tithe is faulty. The G Os spends most of it on himself while staffs working with them are poorly paid.

Besides, most of these churches don't reach out to the poor, fatherless, orphans and widows. This is what I mean by the administration of tithe received.
