Theses ladies were used of God mightily so God must not mind ladies
being used in His chruch. I am not saying that a lady should ever upsurp authority over their pastors but if the pastor calls upon that lady to do something in the chruch then the lady may do so but under the anointing of the Lord and under the leadership of her church and that may be for example as a teacher, singing, leading in the preliminaries of the service and many other ways . I think the passage given earlier was talking about the relationship between a husband and a wife We have to be very careful we don't take a scripture out of context but read the entire passage to get the full meaning of what is being said or taught

God bless

There are some wonderful lady missionaries in the mission field and one of those I know is sister Alvear and I am sure that she ministers under the direction of her missionary husband but at the same time I would say in some cases she witnesses and leads souls to the Lord .

My point is God does use women in His work but in the proper manner.

And where does it say any of the wonderful ladies preached???? I must have missed that?
