It is a sin for a woman to speak out during a worship service. All women preachers might as well be practicing witchcraft because of their rebellion against the Word of God.

[James D. Bartlett]

I am sorry, I have to disagree with you. I used to be a rock solid baptist (one that did not believe in women preachers), there was no way I would listen to a woman preacher.

But then one day I was reading Joel Chapter 2, and I began questioning my baptist upbringing. But this passge clearly states that women will be preaching in the last days (which we are in).

I understand your point that you are making. The passage of scripture that you are getting these ideas are often misunderstood. In order to understand the scriptures correctly we know who wrote the passage, who it was written to, why it was written, and what the times were like when the passage was written.

The Apostle Paul wrote this to a Church that had a problem with the women trying to take over the Church. The authority of the Church has always been the responsibility of the man, ever since the Garden of Eden. It was Eve (the woman ) that 1st trangressed the Law of God by eating the Forbbiden Fruit. But it wasn't until Adam (the man) ate of the fruit that Sin entered into the world and the Penalty for Sin (death - sepreation from God) was pronounced on the World. It was the man that God gave the commandment to not the woman. It was the job (responsibilty) of the man to tell the woman of the commandment and to make sure that she did break the Commandment of God. It was the woman that 1st took of the forbidden fruit,It is for that reason that it commonly said that the women are the weaker gender, and that why that men still have the responsibilty to take care of the administration of the Church.

The women were trying to take care of the Business Administration of the Church and the Apostle Paul said that this not the it is to be. Everyone is commanded of God to sing, testify, teach, preach, shout and witness for the Lord as the holy Gost/Spirit give the direction to do so, regardless of gender.

I am a Independent Pentacostal Preacher (Pastor/Evangelist/Teacher) and I still for the most part do not like to hear women preachers, even though I do believe in them very very very strongly. Simply because I do find very many women preachers that are truly called to preach. However whenI do find one that is truly called, I set all day an dlisten to her just as I can for any many as long as the Holy Spirit is leading them and blessing them in everything that they say.

I know this next statement is going to offend some but, for the most part I do not believe in Women Pastor, because the Pastor of the Church is the highest ranked person in the Church. The only way I can see a woman being a Pastor is subject to a man in a higher position (and Apostle or Denominational/Confernce leader) that can over rule her if she was to ever get out of line and repair any damage that was cause intentionly or unintentionaly.

If I am wrong in this area of my beliefs, I welcome someone to point me in the right direction, based upon the scriptures. (but please do not try to the scripture that talks about that there is no male nor female in the eyers of God, that has been used so much out of context that it is shameful.)

Please reread these passage again and ask God to show you the truth of His Word to you.
