Re: End Time Army of Women Preachers Psalms 68:11

Some speak of the '5 fold ministry', meaning a verse that mentions apostles, teachers, prophets...

Those same people will speak about all of them in the same light in regard to qualifications as in an office. The Bible doesn't mention such qualifications, however.

Apostles are 'those who are sent'. It's not referring to only males but a generic term for messengers, so to speak. Some apostles preached, some performed miracles, but all were sent.

There are many women Paul speaks of as being fellow laborers. We can only assume what he means by that and we might all be correct about some of them, but Paul mentions one particular woman that even the smartest Biblical scholars admit might have been an apostle.

Junia.

Junia is referred to as being highly regarded among the apostles. She was also imprisoned with Paul. Unless you think they imprisoned her for her cooking, you have to admit her sharing the gospel to others with Paul might have placed her there along with him and others.

I find it odd that when it comes to men in the Bible, we have no problem believing what we want about what they did in the Biblical times even when Bible doesn't specifically state such, but when it comes to women, we want absolutes. Barnabus is noted as a fellow apostle yet there are no verses stating he preached or did miracles as Paul did. There are many men Paul mentions and we believe he mentions them not because they were excellent waiters or great taxi drivers but because they were people who aided him in his ministry and worked beside him to bring the gospel to the world as he knew it.

Whether Junia preached or not isn't the point I'm making, especially since there isn't a single person here who can even agree on what the definition really is. I just find it interesting that if Paul thought women had to be silent and not teach, how those women could have been working along side of him, not merely cooking his meals or ironing his robe.
