It's okay for a woman to say "thus saith the Lord...." and give a direct word from God. It is not okay for a woman to study and teach on a passage of scripture!

But of course!

You know good and well that when a MAN studies and teaches on a passage of scripture that its a "Word from God". But if a woman takes that man's notes and teaches from them, you know all too well that suddenly those same words become merely the words of a woman...

Women are not called to the Eldership. Plain and simple. They may pray and prophesy as Paul said. But they cannot be the leaders in the Church.

A big AMEN

Prophesying in the Bible was not just preaching. It was speaking "thus saith the Lord". The Woman may do this but must be covered with a veil or she would dishonor her head which is the man.

A big AMEN

Serpert seed doctrine really promotes an anti woman spirit...I have dealt with it for 40 years in Brazil.

Why would anyone want to close the mouth of anyone when 6 billion people are going to hell...so sad...

Good point...Hey! I wonder if Newman can find in the OT where there is a doctrine teaching Women Apostles?

[Steve Epley]

The qualifications for bishops-elders-deacons are gender restrictive that is very clear. About the Apostles Titus was not a Jew although not one of the twelve certainly an Apostle to Crete if no where else. The qualifications are NOT ethnic restrictive.

No one is promoting serpent seed doctrine. How did that get in here? But whats the difference in accepting one false doctrine or another? I have dealt with the Woman leader spirit for many years myself.

No woman is being told to close her mouth. Preach all you want as long as you are subject to your husband and have a meek and quiet spirit which is precious in the sight of the Lord.

Women should simply leave the Eldership alone. Thats all.

[Sister Alvear]

We may disagree what false doctrine is. I have never felt Hulda wrong for telling a man or men, Thus saith the Lord...
She brought such a revival for obeying the Lord. I pray that each one of us obey the Lord in the field He has called us to work in...
I personally will give account for the last 40 years I have gleaned in Brazil's harvest fields.
