Will a woman go to hell for preaching?
 

Well, what do you think of women preachers that preach and people are saved as a result of it? Will God send them to hell for pulling someone else out of the fire?

no.

Ya got...I say ya got me all wrong boy! I'm about as sharp as a bowling ball.

did you vote?

btw are you gonna vote?

Of course not.

I voted yesterday...

And those men who speak harshly against women preachers... they better make sure their house is in order.

NO! maybe the people that would say condemn them will be the ones going? Just a thought

yes i voted.

You know thats right!

Why would you mess up a good poll, by putting a yes to it?

The men or the women?:stirpot

I think the question is foolish. I certainly do not think a woman will go to Hell for preaching. I do not think God calls women to preach and do not think it is scriptural.

Thats all I needed to know. I didn't need to know wether or not you think the question was foolish, nor did I need to know wether you think that women preaching is scriptural.LOL!

I think....
 

That every time I post about this topic it goes :nuke

I'm hoping it's the topic, not me, but I do suspect it's probably more honestly the combination. :depressed

I'll go vote now though.

Will men go to hell because millions still sit in pagan darkenss?

I would rather be a woman who preached instead of a man who did not!

My thoughts egg-zactly.

Fair enough. But think of this: Many people have come to Christ through hearing the gospel preached by female evangelists.

Wouldn't it be odd, (and ironic, to say the least) that God would bring people to Himself through women who were "sinning" by preaching his word?

Whoa onto them who would hear the message of Christ preached through a woman, who would not even realize their lost state!





TIC!

Don't confuse us with yet another logical statement.

Yet it doesn't make it correct Biblically for a woman to preach. A woman is out of Divine order preaching. That does not mean she will be lost just out of order.

But there is a place in heaven for her even though she is out of order? So, what would be the consequence for a woman that preaches Elder?

I leave that up to God. However I do think it is good to stay with what the Bible authorizes.

Phoebe and Priscilla....Paul didn't have a problem with them. Both NT preachers

You have NO idea what Phoebe did and neither do I. That is a guessing game. And Priscilla helped her husband PRIVATELY not in a public service. If so where? Chapter and verse?

I'm "guessing" they ministered. :hanky

May the Lord have mercy on us all! Women that preach need his mercy and men that don't need his mercy. So we are all in need of mercy. I had rather be out in the field with my sickle working than sitting on a pew and wasting my time on endless shopping sprees and hunting trips...I"ll take my chance spending my time telling others about Jesus.

and I am NOT for women ruling but to say a woman cannot preach is not Bible for the early church went everywhere PREACHING the gospel.
MANLY women are wrong...

Sister Alvear, I could NOT agree MORE!!!

This post hit me between the eyes! For anyone to criticize someone who is laboring in the field while they are basically doing nothing---my my my...mercy is right!

Sister Alvear America is going to have ALOT to answer for.


I think I want to use your quote as my sig line is that ok?

That is fine my friend...

Define "preach" and you'll have your Biblical answer. This is NOT usurping authourity over a man in and of itself, though it can become that real quick when a group lets a woman with a certain spirit run around like a loose cannon. She's just following suit likely, so many claim to be in the will of God, or in the Holy Ghost.

Of course we must be careful, if the men will not stand up and say what needs to be said, I can see God using a woman to do it. He has used less, how much more so one of His own daughters. Naturally, if he does use one of his daughters it will be in a Godly fashion with meekness and humility, not some Paula Bunyan in a black skirt, or pant suit, complete with a feminazi strut. This a daughter in good standing not likely, though, perhaps a daughter unto herself.

Lastly, to suggest that a woman cannot minister is to be entirely ignorant of the true meaning of that word and thus what true ministry really is.

I voted. :happyfamily

No, God will not send anyone to hell for obeying His Voice.

Ooooo Go Sis. Alvear!

Good one! :yourock

Will God condemn a male preacher for conducting funerals?
(No Biblical precedence)

Will God condemn a male preacher for conducting marraiages?
(No Biblical precedence)

Will God condemn a male preacher for allowing Sunday School?
(No Biblical precedence)

Will God condemn a male preacher for allowing musical instruments in worship?
(No NT precedence)

Of course not. Though there is no Biblical precedence for the above, we know these are accepted duties and practices of the ministry. The REAL question we should ask ourselves is....

Will God condemn a male preacher for judging women who (they say) are out of order for doing something they have no Biblical precedence for, when, they, themselves, do the same?

The truth is, however, women Do have Biblical precedence for doing what they feel God has called them to do. Its found in Jhn 2:5 : His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. This timely word, spoken by a women is a directive we should all follow.

I was going to ask Bro. Eastman WHY he had to go and start another thread of this type...however...I think I like how this one is going thus far. :D

Matt 28:19 is referred to as the Great Commission. Who is that verse meant for?

Some have said it's a verse only for pastors to follow. Some have said any member of the 5 fold ministry has to follow it.

I disagree.

The Great Commission is for us all to follow. We are all commanded to go into all the world and preach to ever creature and baptize them.

God will not accept excuses for not obeying His commandments.
