Women Preachers 1: Forbidden in the Bible?

In this first video on the topic of women preachers, the Christian Road Warrior begins to take apart the idea that women in general are forbidden to preach or teach based on passages like 1 Corinthians 14:34,35 and 1 Timothy 2:11,12.

Evidence is given regarding the original Greek of the passages to show that specific women, not women in general, were being referred to in the above passages. The Greek of the passage in question indicate a focus on the husband/wife relationship, as even the Young's Literal Translation partially confirms in its rendering of 1 Tim. 2:12: "and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness." Notice how the word "husband" is used instead of the generic "man."

Other videos on this topic will address more details from Scripture that many people may not be aware of. The warrior implores those who are against women preachers to investigate the facts in more detail and come to your own conclusion.

Having an open mind about the facts from Scripture studied in more detail can free us from flawed "traditional" claims about familiar passages.

For those desiring to look at the actual paper that inspired the series, please visit the warrior's website article, which is will be completely uploaded soon: http://www.gospelanswers1.com/WomenPreachers.php



I guess you can call this the warrior's "Valentine's Day" gift of love to all the women who feel God's call to preach. LOL.

If that is true then; that would make the bible not the inspired word of god; 2 Timothy 3:16; but the inspired word of man.Brother this kind of talk will make a weak brother or sister fall; and a sinner will laugh at us christians because we're following false doctrine. We christians need to stop trying to find greek meanings of words and names; and just show the world what faith is. An believe what God gave us.I love ur spirit man and I hope u love mine.

@brotherfrank62 No, this says nothing against the Bible being the "inspired" word of God. We cannot ignore the fact that God gave us Scripture originally in Hebrew and Greek. That leads to foolishness and false doctrine quicker than anything else. Notice carefully what 2 Tim. 3:16 says and does not say. It does not say all TRANSLATIONS of Scripture are "inspired" or more accurately, "God-breathed." Why? Because such a statement would be a lie...

[CRoadwarrior]

@brotherfrank62 ...A perfect example would be the Watchtower "New World" translation of "Jehovah's Witnesses," which is distorted to fit Watchtower doctrine. It is not a thoroughly and truly "God-breathed" translation, and where it deviates from the original it is not of God. So we need to study beyond the surface of the English by the very nature of how God produced it.

[brotherfrank62]

@CRoadwarrior The bottom line is; this kind of talk will make weak people fall; and sinners want believe that any of the word of God is real.I don't think God would want us christians talking like that. because its not positive. it sounds like a trick of the devil. :(

[CRoadwarrior]

@brotherfrank62 Weak people need to be made strong. And you don't get strong by being given false hope and false information about the Bible. There are atheists who know that the Bible was given originally in Hebrew and Greek and what that means. So it is not wise for Christians to be ignorant of these things. The real trick of the devil is to keep us ignorant of the truth.

So wifes should submit instead

[CRoadwarrior]

@six80ususus Wives should submit to their own husbands.

[CRoadwarrior]

@six80ususus No, this just points to the importance of detailed study instead of relying only on English translations.

[six80ususus]

Then who knows what the real meaning is of the bible? Perhaps all is inacuratly translated of maybey half. Only the parts that make sense to belivers is accurate right?

[CRoadwarrior]

@alchemistickolaj ...as Scripture plainly says that heaven and earth will pass away but not God's word. So God's word and study of it is primary and will last according to God Himself, no matter how many times "pray" is mentioned.
