A woman can head a church; but that should be in the minority. |

johnydon22:I was about quoting same scriptures. |

johnydon22:don't misquote the bible for people and start making people leave churches headed by women. They can be godly women too...just like we have godly me heading the church.. John 1 vs 10 - 13 says and i quote ''10. He was in the world, and the world was made by him(remember the world was created by the word and that word was christ), and the world knew him not. 11. He came unto his own(christ who is the word, was spoken into mary and she concieved and the word came in human flesh), and his own recieved him not. 12. But as many as recieved him(male and female, black or white, christian, muslim etc), to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believes on his name: 13. Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of man, but of God.'' study that scripture well and you'd understand better! It's john the beloved speaking here...your quote was that of paul. If you read paul's history, he will tell you his own side and tell you God's word itself! It left to you to choose but if you choose his and he's wrong, he'd deny you that day coz it is stated in the bible that he speaks of himself....and gave you the truth as well to make your decision! My explanations are the ones in parenthesis! I've got alot to say but make i looks comments too God help us all... |

No. An emphatic No. The bible is clear on that. If a woman leads your church, politely ask her on what basis is she leading? Certainly not the bible so what? Then nothing else is truth in the bible if some are more truthful than others. makedisciples: |

No it isnt right na. God said he doesnt want a woman heading a church, his church, who re we to dispute that? Even sef, if i see a woman-pastor i simply make every effort not to worship in her church cos she hs no biblical basis for pastoring ![]() |

900warriorz:Being a son of God is not the same as being the head of a church..So I think your argument is deviated |

So are you saying the epistles are less valid? The bible is clear on how a church should be run and organised. Women have distinct roles that men cannot do. The verse you quoted only shows that anyone can become a believer not a church leader. You are rather the one misquoting and misinterpreting the bible. If you do not accept what Paul says about church organisation, why don't you reject what he says about salvation? 900warriorz: |

johnydon22:Thanks so much for bringing this passage to enlighten some people. In new testament, a woman is not permitted to lead or head a church. |

kolaish:Being a prophet or prophetess does not mean you are a church leader. Anyone in the body can have the gift of prophecy or have the office of a prophet, but may not be called to be the leader of a church. Now concerning your suggestion that Jesus may have tried to avoid upsetting the jews, i will ask you to read your bible again. Jesus was no pleaser of man! And if being a prophetess meant being a leader in the way you are suggesting then why would the jews have had any issues with Jesus having female leaders, or with there being females among His 12 disciples, given that there is indeed a significant history of female prophetesses? Now, we have spoken about what you think, let us talk about what the bible actuallly says in very clear terms: 1. 1 Cor 14: 34-35 34Womenf should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.g 36Or did the word of God originate with you? Or are you the only people it has reached? 37If anyone thinks they are a prophet or otherwise gifted by the Spirit, let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command. 2. Tim 2:11-12 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 11Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. 11A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness. 11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 11A woman should learn in silence with full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. do i need to say more? |

jodavid:first, who is the head of the church? What are others in the church meant to do sice christ is the head of the church or you wana say God doesn't call women? Well, God can use anyone to lead...once you make yourself a vessel for him to use, he'd use you...the women that led in the bible, did they call themselves? If you are a leader and you are not a son of God, what does that make you? Bro, the word of God is deep! Let's not argue superficially or a even argue at all.. Let us pray God open our eyes and heart to see the truth.. |

Remember Jesus went against all of their doctrines that were not of God. So, having a woman to head the disciples wouldn't be a hard thing for him to do. To prove their tradition wrong, Jesus would have come as a woman to save his people. Women have their place. kolaish: |

Well as a Roman Catholic Christian , it's not allowed in the church, Infact it has not happened and can never happen. Although they have key roles to play. i.e assisting the priest in giving holy communion, in Altar activities, but they can never be allowed to lead nor preach in the church. |

raphieMontella:Kai....i really love the ending part of it. IT IS A DISGRACEFUL THING FOR A WOMAN TO SPEAK IN A CHURCH MEETING! Gbam!!! It is not about other places. Women may claim gender equality elsewhere, but not on the pulpit! That is solely reserved for men. They MUST NOT SPEAK IN THE CHURCH!!!! |
| Re: Is It Right For A Woman To Head A Church? by KardinalZik(m): 11:56am On Sep 18, 2016 |
neocortex:It is not hatred. U get it wrong. Rather, it is because a woman was created as a help, and not as a lord. Just check out from the book of Genesis for yourself. The purpose of creating a woman never included leading, and that's why most women given the responsibility of leading fail. That responsibility is solely for the man. Whereas women's responsibility is that of an helper. #JustTooSimpliflied |

nmreports:Maybe you have to read these, and then tell me whether it is in the new testament or not: Timothy 2:11-15 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 KJV Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. [35] And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. Except if you want to go to war with the Bible, I think this is also as simple as ABC. |
