Awesome! Much encouragement to you. As for the people who say woman should be listeners... in most churches women do about 90% of the work in the church. They volunteer, they minister, they do bible studies, they cook for people who are sick, they visit homes. That is the sad reality of our nation. And maybe God meant for men to fill those positions.... but until they stand up be men about it then it's up to the women to be God's hands and feet. So men, BE MEN!
Whether one is teaching in a modern life group or in a modern church "service", one is still teaching fellow believers, and wielding the same responsibility to rightly handle God's word.
The Samaritan woman preached about Jesus to the *men* in her city (John 4:28-30) and many people in the city came to faith because of her testimony (John 4:39).
And btw, life group and church shouldn't be something different.... show me a verse about life groups in the Bible. You know, those small groups that meet in people's houses? Oh right, they're called CHURCHES ;P
If all you're going to do is call me cute, I'm done here. We can agree to disagree :P. I'll keep doing what I'm doing (by the way, I'm female :P. I'm going to continue leading and teaching men, and supporting other women who do so- female pastors, vicars and so on- and who knows? I might do Bible college eventually :P).
And you can call me cute and keep doing what you're doing, and God will love us both equally, because he's that kind of God :P.
Yeh that's cute...continue making up a context, making verses mean exactly what they don't....and then tell me read theology and scholars....i suppose that's what Christ said to the Jews right? He said, go read theology and scholars of universities and the likes.....you mad cute.
Oh dear goodness. If you're not going to listen to sound exegesis but tell me I'm being cute, twisting the bible and following the anti-Christ, then you're clearly not listening to anything I've been saying. I. Just. Gave. You. Fifteen posts' worth of specific verses.
Please. Read the Greek, read the theology, read the specific biblical scholars and then argue with me. Take the Bible in context and stop brandishing one single verse at my head as if it was the whole doctrine of the living word.
Ok fellow, you don't have specific verses, lets not twist the Bible then, your theories are all cute and what not, but the text speaks for itself. [1 Timothy 2:11-12] clearly speaks to ALL people, of ALL times.....
How do i know that? cause he then says:
" For Adam was formed first, then Eve; and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor."

Deborah, a married prophetess, who judged Israel by herself. Yup, that's the Israel that includes the men (Judges 4:4).
Priscilla and hubby Aquila corrected Apollos' slightly screwy theology (emphasis on *they*) . Apollos being a man, of course (Acts 18:26).
Anna, a widowed prophetess who preached about Jesus to all in Jerusalem. I'm thinking 'all' would include the men.... (Luke 2:36-38).

So don't be cute, just follow the Christ, not the anti-Christ
