My response. Women, did preach. This is evident. men is not to lord it over women. Yeshua didn't lord it over women. Women have their place as prescribed in the Bible. And let me add, that women are not slaves. They are our Sisters in Yeshua.
Jesus' FIRST Apostle. It was not only Thomas who did not believe as in (DOUBTING THOMAS), but if you look in the Word you will find out that the other disciples DID NOT BELIEVE the gospel that Jesus sent Mary to preach (speak). This explains why Peter and John ran to the empty tomb. It is also born out by the fact that when Jesus did appear to the disciples, the first thing Jesus did, WAS TO UPBRAID THEM for their UNBELIEF. Perhaps Jesus held women in higher regard than many men do today.
This is a job very well done. You are not getting OLDER but BETTER. If I may I will add an interesting thought. The gospel must include believing 'THAT GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD'. The word Apostle means 'SENT ONE'. Looked at in that light, then the FIRST APOSTLE Jesus sent anywhere to preach the GOSPEL, was Mary. He sent Mary to tell the disciples that Jesus had been raised from the dead. They did not believe the gospel Mary brought, perhaps because she 'was a woman'. This would make Mary -
