End Time Army of Women Preachers Psalms 68:11

[Sister Alvear]

Huldah participated in the biggest spiritual revival of her Nation. How did she do that? BY giving the word of the LORD to the king and to the priests....THUS SAITH THE LORD....It is interesting to note that the priests turned to a woman for God's Word when many men of God were also advisors to the King. The prophets Habakkuk, Jeremiah and Zephaniah were also active prophets of God during this time. We find no rebuke from these men to Huldah...and God sent a great revival to the priesthood....

Duh... Of course Jeremiah etc. did not rebuke Hulda from operating in the gift of the Spirit. A donkey did this once as well. Are we therefore to conclude that we should go to the zoo to hear a word from God? It's the same logic.

No one has ever said a woman cannot be used in the gifts. But this has been mentioned already. There is truly nothing new under the sun. As mentioned before everyone can operate in the gifts of the Spirit and I would challenge us all to be in a place where God can use us. But the Bible is clear, the Bishop is a man.

I do not agree w women as Elders/shepherds/bishops, however, my wife and I have a friend, that is a woman, she is the wife of a man considered a pastor because everyone comes to their house thruout the week for advice, because they trust his counsel, they have housechirch meetings once a week, but most of their ministry takes place thruout the week as I mentioned, he doesn't really consider homself a pastor, but most everyone else does, anyway back to his wife, she knows Hebrew very well and she is very welcome to come over and teach me and others willing to learn, including men, the scriptures in the way of Hebrew words and meanings. She is the only person I know of personally that knows Hebrew well, and is passionate about Christ.

Is that error against the scripture?

[Dordrecht]

Ok, so females CAN speak at revivals?
That's permitted?

You sound like someone else I know...No need to compare a women that God uses with a donkey...But if you want to go to a zoo that is fine with me...just come to Brazil I will take you to the jungle....lots of animals there with the wild indians...

Correction: a bishop is a married man. According to your application of this text, there cannot be unmarried men as pastors, evangelists, teachers, apostles, or prophets. Please start preaching this requirement with the rest of the misapplied restrictions you would place on Holy Ghost filled people that God chooses to use for His purpose to fulfill the Great Commission.

The context of this thread has been dealing with women preachers so don't tell me how and or what to preach/teach...

Again, you keep referencing the qualifications of a bishop (which is an administrative/ executive office, responsible for the well being of a group of people), and then applying the qualifications that support your opinion, in a way that supports your opinion, to the five fold ministry. Since you are leveraging the 'husband of one wife' as supposed proof that only men can preach, then you must be honest and apply the whole of that qualification, because not all mem are the husband of one wife. that phrase is not secret code for "male or man", that is clearly defining married man. Thus, to be scripturally honest, you must teach that unmarried men are also excluded from the five fold ministry.
I could respect that application because it would be honest, even though I believe the premise to be incorrect. Unfortunately, it seems to be a basic technique of some preachers to simply cherry pick what looks like it supports their pet beliefs and then say, "Bless God, this is how it is because I am the man of God!"
I don't buy it, won't buy it, it is not sound doctrine.

Again the CONTEXT of this thread has been dealing with women preachers. In response to THAT context posts have been made showing it is impossible for a woman to be a bishop or a deacon for that matter.

But this supposed 'disqualification' has been extended to include the 5 fold ministry. And, as I have mentioned twice now, but it has been conveniently ignored, is that the qualifications for a bishop include being a MARRIED man, not just a man.

So I say once again, either be honest and say that ONLY married men can be apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, or give up the whole 'only a man can preach' position because as it is being defined by its supporters, it is based on a dishonest pick and choose 'theology'.
