 want to share with you about women, about God using women. I've been shocked and a little grieved on TikTok as I see many people commenting things that women should not preach, that women should not be pastors. It is very sad because this is not the truth at all. It really is sad is that somebody like Catherine Crick who is not only calling herself an apostle but is also a pastor. It's sad that once she calls herself both and that two people accept her as that and then three is that she thinks that according to the scriptures that she is in the right. That problem is a little bit problematic. Now for her she's bothered. Sometimes you wonder though is her or others being bothered by that? Is it for selfish reasons? There are women who I have come across who claim to be pastors, who want to be pastors, call themselves prophetess, evangelist, so forth, who do so for the sake of their own self-esteem. It makes me feel better. Because today, let's be honest, this is a world where people are jockeying back and forth and you see what we used to call the battle of the sexes. Now we want to blur the line so that everyone can be part of the other team if they so choose. But you see this encroachment on how God has designed things. You see it more and more and obviously the final frontier for encroachment on God's design is going to be the church. That part should be understood guys. It's not as though that Satan has desires. You know what? I'll do what I'll do in the world and I'll leave the church alone. No. No, he's not. As a matter of fact, he may have found some of his best advocates in many cases in the church. Now the question is what makes, why are women bad pastors? Well, principally the reason why they are bad pastors, number one, is because the Bible doesn't allow for it. And if you are a pastor and you're a woman, then you are a bad pastor. Has nothing to do with what someone might perceive or what you might perceive as your ability, your ability to communicate, your ability to empathize or sympathize with others. Has nothing to do with that. Now it certainly has everything to do with the fact that you can't read the scriptures. Think about this for a second. I want to ask you guys a question of all the people. That's the funny thing Vance. Let me pull it up. That's the amazing thing. They try to prove it with scriptures. I'm going to go over a couple of them too and then we're going to see that there are some men who are just honestly, they tend to be on the weaker side. If we had to kind of put men in a range, you know about this. Guys, how many of you are played football? And there were some guys in the locker room that were just a little bit too soft to be out there. They liked the idea of playing but did not like the idea of getting hit. You do realize that the opposing team's job is to hit you. The opposing team's job is to, it's almost like playing football and then, ow, he hit me. He hit me too hard. And what do we see? Matter of fact, nowadays we see a lot of people go, even go pro and quit because the hits, the hits, they just keep coming. They keep coming and some guy, he is trying to run through you. Vance, you can tell you can testify. There are people who not only want to tackle you, they want to tackle your soul. And so people play, people complain about that. I don't want to hear about you, your three Super Bowls. Vance, y'all could not get the big one. No, Vance, you're not going to advance. You couldn't beat the Giants. I'm playing. I'm playing. I'm playing. Although I do think L.A. was one of the best, I think he's probably the third best quarterback ever. Maybe second best quarterback. Behind paid many. Another story. But the funny thing is they do use scriptures and there are men who I think are weak on the weaker side who tend to have a little soft spot for women or they are trying to make sure that they are seen as someone who's all inclusive. You see that a lot with some of these men. But the one thing that's common that they have in common with these women is that they don't have a firm grasp on the scriptures. Now we're going to look at the scriptures. We're going to also look at the scriptures that they pull up. We're going to look at a video principally that Catherine Crick is in this video. She is trying to give the reasons why women can be pastors and everything that she says is wrong. There's a little twisting to it. Yeah, Rick Warren has been promoting female pastors, which is why the SBC finally don't know what took them so long, but finally kicked them out. Today is today is National Women's Day. I did not know that. Happy Women's Day. This should be liberating because the only thing the only thing that or I put this way, there's nothing more liberating than the word of God to a male or female. So I want to play some of stuff that she says and we're going to see how she's how she's just off. What God really has to say about using women. I'm going to share with you why so many people feel this way and I'm going to open your eyes to see what God really has to say about using women. Now, let me just say this because maybe it's just me. I really don't like the facial expressions that she makes. It's for me watching her. It's hard to get past just the facial expressions. The only thing that keeps me that kind of takes me off of the facial expressions he overemphasizes facial expressions that what takes my mind off of it is how she twists the scriptures and ministry because there will be people that you will come across who need their eyes opened up. Hallelujah. So when people say one people say women should not preach. They shouldn't speak about God. They shouldn't preach in the church. They shouldn't lead a church. These things. Where does that come from? The reason people say this and feel so strongly about this is because of 1st Corinthians 1434. Well, that's one passage, but that's not the only passage. As a matter of fact, there are numerous passages. Now, I don't have a problem if we look at a passage and we say that might not quite be how it's read. That happens there. There are some passages that on the surface it that's not what it really says such as there are a few passages that they might speak in idiomatically. One of the ones I cover all the time to kind of give a good example and that one can everyone can understand is the Proverbs 22 train a child up and whether you should go and we use the Hebrew was okay. That's what it means and it makes sense. But we're not taking away from how God has told us how to change children. I mean how to train children. No, what they're doing though is they're trained. They're they're taking the entire view of what God has spoken about women and how and it's not to put women down because God does not do so at all. But they take they tell us that everything we've ever thought all these passages are wrong. I can see if you say well this one passage over here that's not quite what it says. I that's understandable but all of them and what's interesting is they don't go into let's say the Hebrew or the Greek to make their point. They don't even do a good job matter of fact they don't even do it. Let's say culturally or historically although they try to invoke culture and history but there's a big problem with what they say. So the passage that she's going to is first Corinthians and so we'll let her kind of give a little understanding of it and then we'll go to look at ourselves where Apostle Paul says let your woman keep silent in the churches for they are not permitted to speak but they are to be submissive as the law also says. Now first of all before I explain what he means about that why he said that I want you to also hear this passage also in first Corinthians this is. Now she's going to go to another passage in first Corinthians what before she goes there what would you guys say about a person who is a pastor or an apostle who as they're reading the book that they're quoting from they say that the person who they're quoting contradicts himself. Now she's going to tell you that Paul contradicts himself it's not a slip of the tongue. She means what she says she says that she's going to say that Paul here contradicts himself. So if you know that ahead of time you all you almost want to you almost want to just you know what I'm through listening to you but we need to listen we need to hear this because you're going to hear these sort of arguments going forward you're going to keep you're going to keep hearing this kind of stuff and it's helpful to know well how do we get past it how do we move around that says Paul speaking again first Corinthians 11 5 but every woman who prays or prophesies and it goes on to say and it's talking in the day with her head uncovered is honors her head now this we can clearly see what that doesn't apply to us today obviously so when you're reading scripture in terms of the head uncovered. When you're reading scripture you have to understand that this was spoken at a certain time now let me just do with this and I actually there is a video that you guys will have out about what does it mean for the woman to have her head covered. It's not changing the thought some people will take this to say this is only cultural and there's no application for today. The only cultural part that we don't apply today is that she has to have physically have her head covered but the point of it is that there has to be a covering for her in this regard that let's say a woman is up in church at your church and let's say she's giving an announcement or what have you or she's making a statement she's giving her testimony or she's singing for what have you the covering is the fact that they are not in leadership that the church and by looking at the church and the leadership of the church that you see her that she is a valued member of the church of the body. She's not in leadership and so her covering not in the sense of that day because you couldn't tell especially at the beginning of the church so she would actually have a physical covering in that regard for her saying that I am not stepping out of order. I'm doing so in this church this church is a sound doctrine church sound doctrine elders and pastors and so forth and so her up speaking though her head is not actual covered she has a covering are you with me and so it's not like this we're not we're not we're not Muslims this isn't the Quran we have not abrogated any passages God has not said I'm taking this past I'm through with that passage no these are given by an actual authentic listeners Catherine correct an authentic show enough for real apostle one who was actually chosen by by Christ and we know he was because he was a valid that validated by the other apostles even Peter says that his writings are like scripture. So what she's getting ready to say is that because that passage in her mind is for that culture for that day is no longer relevant she's going to try to equate this with the rest of 1st Corinthians specifically the passage that we're reading not in the year 2021 and you have to understand that apostle Paul and others who who speak in the Bible are sharing with a church specifically a prophetic direction many times of what is going on at that time. Similarly to the days of coronavirus right the days of coronavirus there needs to there and there needs to be anointed ministers prophetic ministers who can speak this is what God is saying today so in that day according to that culture this is what he was he was speaking this prophetic direction but he says every woman who prays or prophesies so he's saying in the scripture that women were able to prophesy that they should prophesy that means speak in the church you don't now I almost fell out of my chair by the way breakfast gun thank you for that but I like the name to almost a lot about my chair when she said because Lordy Lordy she said something correct yet prophesy does mean you're speaking out of your mouth and now I don't know if she thinks matter of fact I'm pretty sure I I ventured against that she doesn't know that prophecy isn't just giving a predictive word it's also giving the indicative the fourth telling word what the what the word says and I'm pretty sure that what the word says is of no value because look at how she's how she's tearing this apart prophesy without speaking in the church that's what prophesying means so he's saying when women praise or prophesies so he's already contradicting what he said in first Corinthians 1434 that she see now she said it I didn't she said he's already he's all Paul you just not a good apostle matter of fact you need to go to Catherine Crick's apostle school you know I tell you you can go you can go to her one of her buddies apostle prophet prophet school and learn you're all Paul you're already contradicting yourself you're already contradicting yourself but it's okay to make mistakes because guess what being an apostle or prophet we know she I'm speaking on her behalf we know that since we make mistakes and we're apostles to that it's okay for us to point out your mistakes because all of us apostles after all make mistakes because we're only human wrong and so for her to even let that come out of her mouth that already he is contradicting himself does she not realize the Bible says yes Paul's writing but all scripture is God breathe all scripture is produced from the mouth of God from the breath from the wheel from the mind of God and so for her to turn around and say that in that there's a contradiction you see why her facial expressions don't don't don't I it's hard for me to or it's easy for me to leave her facial expressions and go to the stuff that comes out of her mouth like what what did you just say that should already have people say well let's let's not jump to conclusions and first Corinthians 1434 about let your woman keep silent in the churches for they're not permitted to speak what why he spoke this scripture right here this one right here women should keep silent they're not permitted to speak why did he preach that when you look at scripture you need to look at the time the time period and you need to look at the context what was going on at that time so now I want you think about what she's saying when you look at scriptures you need to look at the context which I think you chip you've heard me say that I have a literal grammatical historical hermeneutic which means I also I also take into account the historical implications and the settings of what's being stated but when you read something in in its historical context you know that you can apply something by figuring out who's being spoken to for example we don't apply the law because we know that the law has been spoken to and speaking of the law is being spoken to Jews we don't have conversations where the law has been spoken of the Gentiles or where Gentiles are told to keep the law and so we even understand the historical context context why it was done and even more so that it was eradicated or it was replaced so when she makes this statement she's she's she's setting it up that that was then this is now that that's her point problem is though what if we took that tack with all of first Corinthians I promise you I promise you she's not matter of fact let's just let's go to first Corinthians 3rd I mean 1434 let's put on the screen the women are you know what let's go back up a little further let's go to verse 26 says what then is the outcome brethren when you assemble together when you come together each one has a song each one has a teaching each one has a revelation has a tongue has interpretation let all things be done for oh there's that word edification which people don't like to hear that because the edification is not for you for other folks but the problem is and by the way by the way this kind of hurts her argument it wasn't just women who are out of order this is not women who are out of order in as Paul's addressing in first matter of fact the entire letter Paul's letter that he's writing to the church is that there be no divisions public you know what guys now this is this is me kind of put my my my my way of it you guys are just so divisive I can see fighting the heretics I can see calling out sin but you're fighting against each other you're jockeying for position and so he says I don't want there to be divisions one says I'm of this I'm of that I'm a I'm a car carrying Baptist I'm a Methodist through I'm as presbyterian as they get no he's not wanting that then he deals with the divisions with the church with the body but then as it relates to unity with the with the with the family spouses and so forth then he comes to now concerning spiritual gifts for spiritual things and what do we see divisions there people jockeying for certain spiritual gifts and so forth and people thinking that one part of the body or one gift is more desired than the other and so what's happening is as he's as he's dealing with all of this foolishness pride and even he even gives them credit this zeal he says have a zeal or desire for building up the body but he says how come every time you guys come together he didn't say just women let's put back on the screen he says how come when you guys come together when you when you folks come together hot on when you and he says whenever you come together and oh by the way this is the plural so that means he's speaking of you all how come you all which means it's inclusive of not just women but it's men and women so he's not just speaking about just women he's speaking about men and his point is every time you guys come together you always got something to say something to do you always trying to show off something you always have something to say if it's me or you know what if it's my mama you know what she would say shut up why don't y'all come to church and shut up why don't you get together and just shut up there's too much of this and trying to show off so he's not just speaking about women that's important let's continue he says if anyone speaks in a a tone or language it must it should be by two or three at the most and each intern and one must interpret now according to her logic this is dead that was for then that was for then now we're in 2022 2023 2024 that was then he says but if there is no interpreter he must keep silent in the church if there is no interpreter he must keep silent in the church and let him speak to himself and to God don't worry about that anymore because that was then this is now that's her we're just following her logic he says let two or three prophets speak and let the others pass judgment in other words oh wait a minute wait a minute you mean tell me we can actually hear someone give a word of prophecy where there'd be a foretelling predictive prophecy or a fourth telling right now indicative does set the word prophecy mean tell we can actually judge that yeah yeah we don't need you ever been to church especially if you've been to a a black Pentecostal church they're happening more and more in some of the white churches too but somebody gets up and then someone else has to speak and then someone else have to speak at a former church of ours we were the church was just growing it was just exploding it was growing and one of the things we had to stop doing was at the end someone had a word you know I just want to thank the Lord give it like a little testimony we had to stop that because everybody wanted to say something he says listen somebody wants to say something two or three at the most and then let everyone kind of judge what was said continuing he says for you for you all for Kent I'm sorry for you can all prophesy one by one so that all may learn and all may be exhorted wait a minute wait a minute this is going back to what he said in verses one and verses five I wish that you would speak in these languages in order my land they have the proper to it in order that you would all prophesy I want you all not to foretelling but to give a word a revelation which is in our case the word and then he says that you all may be exhorted so that everyone gets built up not just you continuing and the spirits of the Prophet are subject to the Prophet the spirit of the Prophet are so I won't go into that because I think I even covered it before I think I even covered that before because one person one particular person did a video over so I had to cover so he says for God is not a God of confusion but of peace as in all the churches so now guys we get to the point God is not a God of confusion and he is he talking about just women or every he's talking about everybody so then he says the women are to keep silent in the churches for they are not permitted to speak but are subject or accept themselves just as the law also says they are to remain silent he does not mean because he just said he couldn't he couldn't mean he didn't mean that he didn't mean zip it in regards of what he just said you all have something to say every time and so he says be we know what he's saying because he's covered this before you try to teach you trying to usurp authority you trying to lead by the way we're going to that passage in just a little bit but he says this regarding men and women but it's just for women in this regard also because it wasn't just that women were out of order men were to this is a church that was that that that had no semblance of who God was prior or previously it's a brand new church and so there's some things they don't it's like starting a church with one guy who knows the Bible than everyone could you imagine if you started a church one guy knows the Bible not even very very well and he's got a bunch of people following him who also don't know the Bible Marcus Rogers Church sort of that that's what you'd have that's what you have and so there's all this confusion there should be some order this is why Paul who's an older man by the way this Paul who's an older bald man a man Paul good in there he's trying to give them some wisdom and this is clearly coming from God because we know even Peter and the other apostles validate Paul and his writings so that being said he says if they desire to learn anything let them ask their own husbands at home for it is proper for for for it is improper for a woman to speak in church was it from you that the word of God first went forth or has it come to you only so Paul now Paul is kind of validating what he's saying and the source of what he's saying and so what she what she want to do she wants to break this down and say this is not this is not proper and when you look at the context of what was going on there specifically at that church of Corinth was that the the women the women in the church were being loud and disruptive and distracting during church so because the women were being loud and disruptive and distracting that's just what they were doing at that time that that's just what was happening. Because in the second 15 crazy people are about to run up here. Oh these are big angels. Let me one two three come on. Yeah because women today don't don't do crazy stuff women today don't just go up and just take over and just say all you that that only happened back then Catherine. Yeah that that kind of stuff was only back then it's cultural. We don't have women out of order today. No all the women just like the men perfectly in line no no crazy funny business no singing out of tune in tongues. No we don't have that today. That's that that's the problem sweetheart that's she probably get upset if I call her sweetheart but listen I can't help the fact that I call that I say sweetheart it's it's it's not my fault how I was raised is just who I am but but let's be honest this is not what was happening in Corinth. Can we just be honest. What was happening in Corinth is not something that's not happening today. As a matter of fact we're probably worse in Corinth wouldn't you say it I think that in many cases were worse in Korea sexually we're we are certainly worse in Korea in terms of our even our devotion towards to the word worse in Korea. Matter of fact certainly with our devotion and accepting of the word we're worse in Corinth you know how I know because Paul wrote letters to them and they they would acquiesce Paul writes them and says put that brother out who was sleeping with his father's wife. Yes tell me listen listen let the guy back in later you know we would have done Paul who are you who are you Paul to tell us anything. You can't judge us Paul and so we see this we see that we're just as bad matter of fact no I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm Corinth I apologize to you. No we would love to be in the condition that you were in. We're a lot worse we're yeah Christina 10 10 times worse 10 times 10 times 10 times worth. Yes. So bad now I want to continue what she's saying uh yeah she's gonna say some other stuff that it's just it's a bit off so let's hear be off now because they were being that way this obviously was making it so God's word was not being able to go forth because there was so much distraction. We see that Jesus chooses to appear after he resurrected to a woman. Sometimes you can take a passage and you can pretty much make it say or make it feel to you how you want it to be. So look at what she's getting ready to do how we know this how we know or how she says that it's okay for women to be pastors forget the fact that we can't turn to a passage forget the fact that we can't turn to a passage that tells us this now they're gonna there's some passes that they say yeah this is them being a this is them being in leadership we'll get to that in a second but look what she's about to do with Jesus resurrecting and then meeting women first listen how she takes this one account says Mary Magdalene another account says Mary Magdalene and another woman. Now this was not accident it wasn't like oh who God didn't know Jesus didn't know he was going who he was going to appear to first nope this was intentional and chosen by God God chose to reveal himself resurrected for the very first time to women he could have chosen man but he chose a woman he could have chosen a man but he chose a woman he could have chosen man but he chose a woman thank you for the super chat Jeff but you know they deal with the woman that the woman the woman or the women that he chose I'm not trying to be mean but he did tell them go tell those women go bring those men tell the women tell the men bring them to me he didn't sell tell the women to wait and meet wait for wait for me you'll see me in a few days and he didn't he didn't come and meet with them he didn't have breakfast with them he didn't walk through a door in their presence these were with these men he tells the women to go get the men or these particular men and now let me say this it's not to say that even every man is qualified being a male does not make you qualified either so everybody can't be a pastor and so we've got people out there that are pastors that are even teaching who God is going to deal with you just because you have an XY chromosome makeup and you start teaching or start pastoring does not mean that God is not going to deal with you first of all there's a strict condemnation for those that teach and teach incorrectly and have no business being up there that's going to happen God God is going to deal with you so it's not that every man can be a pastor it's certain and we'll go in the qualification just a little bit and thank you for the super chat but she's trying to make something out of something that isn't there and we see him say Mary go share with others share with the other disciples that I'm alive that you've seen me now you see how she said that with the other disciples no these men are quite different than where where Mary or the rest of them are quite different him saying that he was saying share the gospel spread the gospel that's what the gospel is that Jesus is alive first Corinthians 1434 when Paul was speaking woman be silent in the churches this obviously was not for all women so it wasn't for all women again why then do we have that letter see if the letter was only for that church and was not to be brought out for public consumption we got a problem I'll get back to what she just said in a second but we know it is for everybody why because do y'all realize that Paul Peter wrote other letters that we don't have in the Bible and it's not because somebody had some plot to keep these letters out and so forth no no no no no no no they didn't just write the only time it's not it'd be you know how funny it would be to say that the only time that Paul ever wrote was to was in the Bible that that's the only time that Paul ever wrote anything the only time Moses ever wrote a letter was in in scriptures no they wrote before he didn't just learn to write by writing in the Bible that's not how that works so if to take her logic that would mean or to or to extrapolate out that that would tell us that the even the letter to first Corinthians should not be in the Bible that was just for them that was just for them which means in her own logic tongues are just for the church of Corrine yeah everything that first Corinthians talks about is just for them it's just silly but then she makes statement that because Jesus tells them to go and to get the men that they themselves become are becoming preachers that's God kind of commissioning them to be preachers interestingly enough Mary wanted to touch Jesus what did you just say get your hands off me woman no he didn't say that he didn't I'm playing but it's a woman don't touch me I have not ascended to my father yet I have not ascended to my father just yet but then I do recall him telling some one of the men to touch him I do recall him telling the men to touch him so there is a difference between those men and not just those men and the women but really those men and all the other men there are no other men that are like those apostles none period ever we need to get out of this habit of trying to be something or somebody that we simply are not they are not us we are not them and Catherine you have not been chosen to be a pastor how do we know well we're going to look at the scriptures and just matter of fact I think we're going to do before we go to the scriptures because there's somebody's going to make us go to the scriptures I said before that a lot of times you hear not just these arguments coming from women other women T-Bell 9 9 9 9 9 9 it's a lot of 9s why did you put that mean 9s in your thank you for the super chat but the reason why it's important to cover this because you won't just hear women covering this or saying this you're going to also hear men saying the same thing again you you have weak men who have bad doctrine who will also espouse the same thing in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament women occupy every other role in the previous list from the scripture I just read in Ephesians. Junior is a female apostle according to Romans 167 Holda is a female prophet according to 2nd Kings 22 and then again in 2nd Chronicles 34 Mary Magdalene and the woman at the well in John 4 are functioning as evangelists. And so you see what he's saying what he's doing is he's taking these people that were used by God these women and giving them roles offices and titles that God didn't give them. This is clear I suggest eating to the 9th degree. So let me start this over let me play it again and let's move it back and let's look at the people that he's talking of and let's see if what he's saying is also said in the scripture. Priscilla is the Old Testament as well as the New Testament women occupy every other role in the previous list from the scripture I just read in Ephesians. Now when he's talking about Ephesians 4 11 that I've gave apostles and prophets pastors and teachers. Okay one there were women who were called prophets prophetists there were men who are called apostles but there are never any women there are never any women who were called in this office of teaching or teachers and there were never any pastors. So let's let's hear him speak some more and let's look at what he says and let's just go and investigate it. A female apostle according to Romans 16 7 whole. He says junior was a female apostle according to Roman 16 7. How about we go to that how about we go to Roman 16 7 and let's just see let's see because there's not a lot written about Phoebe. There's isn't so let's see if she is I'm sorry I'm sorry wrong one wrong one wrong one 16 7 6 let's go to 16 7 first let's go there. He says greet Andronicus and Junius my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners who are outstanding among the apostles. Now what he's trying to say is that one this person Junius is an apostle first of all let's deal with Junius. We don't know if Junius was a male or female. We don't know. Well but Corey Junius that is that the name is in the feminine that doesn't mean anything because it's in the feminine. You know we have male we have masculine feminine and neuter because the name that noun is feminine doesn't mean anything. Did y'all know that Abba which means father is actually a feminine now that mean anything that mean that oh well that must mean that the father is a woman. Yeah in 2022 2023 yeah I guess so since there are more than two genders but in this case which obviously incorrect. We don't know what Junius is we have no idea the Bible and speak about Junius very much there's not a lot of writings about Junius we don't we have no idea no idea but secondly he says that he's trying to say that Junius is an apostle. It says that who are outstanding among the Apostles in the Greek is Antioch's Apostoloids that does not mean they are Apostles amongst the Apostles in their interactions and working that's literally that's literally what that means there's no other way to take that in Toys Apostoloids means in or amongst the Apostles means it means literally what it just says in English among the Apostles. It's like the it's like the trainer is a great trainer amongst the football players not a football player just a trainer they work they did they served which was fine which was fine but it's again him trying to fit something in there. Holda is a female prophet according to 2nd Kings 22 and then again in 2nd Chronicles 34 Mary Magdalene and the woman at the well and John 4 are functioning as evangelists. Okay Mary Magdalene and the woman at the well are functioning as you all see kind of where Catherine Craig kind of gets this they all send the same thing. They're functioning as evangelists well guess what I actually don't have a problem with that. I don't have a problem with that at all as a matter of fact Paul says for all of us that we should we should feel our our role and do our job as an evangelist so we are we are to be evangelistic in nature with you might say Street Fighter music we are to be now when I want to see what Street Fighter is we are to do our job and it should be evangelistic because the gifts of spirits are to grow the body. Evangelistic that's how we edify the body so that that part is fine that part is that they they could occur was not just her though. They could wait a second she was that one of these other functions fairly recently I do believe I'm not sure I haven't been keeping up with my heretics as much as of late. But I don't have a problem with him saying that she's an advanced but but to say that that this is her in this office of a leadership. There is that no no but again let's keep reading into stuff that's not there Priscilla is a female teacher according to acts Priscilla is a female teacher. Okay let's go to let's go to Priscilla. Roman 16 3. Great Priscilla and my fellow workers in Christ Jesus who for my life risked their own next to whom not only do I give thanks but also the church and the child now it does go on to say in acts where they were talking to they pulled a person to the side who did not understand the scriptures. Let me say this and I said it before. If a man or a woman or anyone else is a child I mean someone other than men only man and women and also a child if they are misunderstanding the scriptures and you as a woman know the correct answer or know or you can direct them in the right spot by all means do so. That is not you usurping authority or teaching over them. So can you tell someone something they don't know sure you can sure you can. Matter of fact let me do this let's let's give a good example of a woman sharing spreading the good news and we don't have a problem with that at all. She's not placed in the category of a leader. Quite the contrary all she's doing is sharing the good news y'all recall John chapter 4 Jesus speaking with a woman at a well and he says I must need go to Samaria why because there's a woman to talk to and what does he do he says that that if you knew who I was we were speaking to one you act different lady but he is going to bring about eventually this well of living water in you. And so let's go and see what she says she says that he asked her. Matter of fact let's I actually like this particular passage because he says something about her and it's kind of cool he says verse 16. He says go call your husband her the woman said I have no husband Jesus said to her you have said correctly I have no husband now side note this is the cool part about this passage by the way a little advertisement for Greek. Let me tell you why she she really got perked up. Let me tell you why she got so perked up by what Jesus said in the English. He says go tell your husband. And what is her response. She says where we at verse 17 verse 17 she says I have no husband your English versions also going to say that Jesus said said you have correctly said I have no husband she says I have no husband. Jesus in the English looks like he says I have no husband he did not he did not say what she said no he said it differently which shocked her which cut her honestly she says I have no husband what she says was echo andra echo andra which is not I have a husband I told you in Greek and heroes well word order isn't as important specifically Greek but you can move words around to sometimes get give emphasis we talked about this in Leviticus 1711 or add a word that's not needed to also give extra emphasis or clarity. So what does Jesus say Jesus does not say echo andra like she does what does he say he comes back and says to her andra echo what he does is he shifts the word husband andra to the front husband you absolutely right and he plants on he focuses on this husband you don't have in what's her response for you have had five of them you've had five husbands and the one whom you now have is not your husband and so what she said sir sir I presume that you are a prophet you must be a prophet you can't be a prophet like the ones we have today because these profits they don't get anything right they might it's like it's a crapshoot with them they might get one out of 47 things right you hit on the head bingo and the correct number you are literally correct and so what does he say verse so verse 21 woman believe me an hour is coming where neither on this mountain or in Jerusalem will you worship the father you worship what you do not know we worse what we do know for salvation is from the Jews but the hour is coming and now is when the true worship works the father in spirit and in truth and so what does she say drop down in verse 25 says I know that Messiah is coming he who is called Christ when the one comes he would declare all things to us and what Jesus said he says ego and may the one who's speaking I'm I am that's me that's me then look what she does in verse 2726 2728 28 so the woman left her water pot and went into the city and said to the men come see a man who told me all things that I have done is this not the Christ or this is not the Christ it's a question is it they went out of the city and we're coming now we won't go to the rest because they said we heard what she said but we came because of what she said to hear and see for ourselves so is it possible is it okay for a woman to go and tell someone about Christ sure she went told all these men and these men came you that's your duty that's your job we're talking about a position we're talking about a rank being over and entrusted with the souls of that of those men and women with their teaching with their education all of those things that's the point a woman can tell a man about the good news I want if a man if a woman hears a man saying Jesus is not God and you wait a minute what matter fact woman if you know the truth you better tell say so if a man is is down and is dang near suicidal and you can share the good news and why his life can now matter and mean something wait a minute let me go get a man don't do that you've missed you've done wrong that's not the point as matter of fact we see that with Priscilla and Aquila who is with her husband so you can do that don't let another man tell you that you can open your mouth to share the gospel that person isn't idiot I said idiot that person knows nothing if you're going to tell a woman not to share the good news I didn't say take over to lead the man I didn't say that off she cannot have that role over a man she cannot but she can speak and again it's it has nothing to do with ability it has nothing to do with the woman's ability it has everything to do with the right of way I use example all the time I'm in a little Volkswagen Beetle I'm in the right lane of the highway going 55 miles an hour because 55 saves lives while everyone else is going seven miles an hour and coming on the honor and is an 18 wheeler now by law in every state in the union that 18 will it does not have the right away I in my little tiny car have the right away but this 18 will is more powerful this 18 will it can crush me the ability of this 18 wheeler far out seeds me but the reason why I don't have to do anything is because not because I'm better or smarter because I have the right away the same thing with a woman who has may have some ability it's not your ability it's the right of way that's the right of way no no she can tell it about again we she can tell a man about Jesus we literally guys we I think I read this right we literally see this woman telling a village about Jesus we literally see a woman telling a village about Jesus now why is that important why why they're in Samaria and the word about Jesus comes out why is that important because in acts 8 somebody's going down to Samaria to preach what Jesus is talking about they believe they don't see the Holy Spirit but they're accepted they believe and then here comes James not Jane John and Peter who previously want to rain down fire because Samaria wouldn't accept but they come and they give validity over them and then they receive the Holy Spirit a woman can let someone know about Jesus she just can be in the position are with me now that being the case let's let's continue hearing who else he says is in in office acts 1826 and in case that's not enough a woman named Phoebe is a teacher according to Romans chapter 16 as she is tasked with delivering reading and interpreting the letter to her audience as was tradition now he gave a lot to Phoebe he said that Phoebe was a leader a teacher she was tasked with keeping taking and delivering the word that that I don't recall all of that with Phoebe but I might have missed it let's go to Roman 16 in Roman 16 says I commend I commend to you our sister Phoebe so he's saying here guys please receive Phoebe receive Phoebe this is our sister guys let them know who is a servant of the church which is which is at Centria that you receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the Saints and that you help her in whatever matter she may have need of you for she herself has also been a helper of many and of myself she is what's called she another term issues is the iconize which is a servant not that she's in the position that's what she's been doing and so this is almost used let me see make sure me make sure make sure okay I want to make sure it wasn't it wasn't a verb but all she is she's helping she she's carrying these words it doesn't say that she's preaching it and doesn't say she's delivering it that's it no and just as receive her like you would anybody else like that that's worthy of the Saints that's all but to read into it and to make it more than what it really is you would think that these people never actually read the Bible as it pertains to the qualifications of a pastor well let's do that here the qualifications of a pastor says this is a trustworthy statement if any man aspires to the office of overseer now let's just be be clear it doesn't say if any man at this point is going to say male male in a second but the what the Greek word here is teeth so it says it's which is if a certain person desires the office of an overseer is a fine work he desires he says now here's where we get into the genetic qualifications we're going we're going to sister we're going we're going to go over first first Timothy 2 here are the genetic qualifications because there are some genetic qualifications as well and some moral qualifications to he says an overseer then must be above approach the husband of one wife now let me say this let's back up do you recall this is why I read this you recall when I said in John for he she says who echo Andra and then Jesus Andra who echo the word Andra is the Greek word for male it can mean it means two things man or male and husband in a possessive sense that's my man not like it is today yet that's my man over there that's my woman that's my girl no no no in this sense when you say that's my man or that's her man or that's his woman it's the same as that's his wife we would Barnabas Smith didn't have a whole bunch of that's my wife and that's my girl no that that was not that was not the case that was not the case so this word Andra shows up again clearly a male and look what he says here that this person the male the husband of one good night goes the night goes is the word for woman or wife either or are you with me so the man of one woman the husband of one wife it can only be a male genetically speaking there's no way around this guys or I'm sorry not you guys get it Catherine Mike Signorelli anyone else there is no way around it let's continue must be temperate prudent respectable hospital able this part I wish we did we spoke more on this able to teach but anyway not addicted to wine pugnacious gentle peaceable let's drop down he must be one who manages his own household he must manage his own household that's the Bible give charge to the woman managing the household no even more genetic qualification but if a man does not know how to manage his own household how will he take care of the church not a new convert and so forth so anyway so this is clear now says the same thing of a deacon as well but now in case someone says because now they're saying way say way say way second court because we're talking about a lot of this happening with Ephesians because he's writing to Timothy and this is taking place in in Ephesians which which is silly well Titus wasn't let's go to Titus Titus says for this reason I left you in Crete that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city presbytus in every city by the way this word refers to this word presbytuses word elders not referred to this we don't use this word referred to women again another genetic qualifier here this word refers to males he says elders males in every city as I directed you namely if a man now this was a certain one so it's tease if a certain person is above approach here it is though I near the man now this word is a man or husband also I near so there's two words that we always see in in Greek that that that we use for a man I near Andra they're similar and so in this case and I near so it is a man the husband of one wife I near means like us having children who believe not accused of dispensation or rebellion and so again we're still talking about a male why would you say that Paul not on one occasion but on two occasions to two men who he is training to go and plant churches he gives the qualifications of the people who would be planters of these churches or would oversee these churches he gives the qualifications and let me turn around say that's not that doesn't matter he literally gives a qualification not in one place but in two places and then of course we have all the continual biblical examples of the leadership being met all of the by the way I didn't mean to do this but let's let me just put this up real quick because I want you all to see this because somebody said well but there are times where we see women leading and they tend to point to Deborah you ever noticed that a lot of times they point to Deborah which is fine almost fine they point to Deborah because Deborah was a judge and spoke harshly do you remember the name of the guy who she spoke harshly to well Deborah seems to be the one that had the faith and was following God you want to know what's funny though when we go to the scriptures and when we get to the point where we can look at Deborah her name didn't show up not that Deborah is not worthwhile talk about no but in verse 32 of chapter 11 this is him speaking about everyone that had faith and what more shall I say for the time will fail me if I tell of Gideon Barak Samson Jephthah and David and Samuel and the prophets wait a minute wait a minute Barak who is Barak Barak that's that guy is that the one that Deborah was trying to convince but the Bible says that Barak had faith why didn't just mention it listen it could he could have just as easily taking Barak's name out we don't think highly Barak Barak you let a woman do this instead you could put Deborah in there but you put Barak why now Obama Obama and I knew someone was gonna say Obama it was just natural you hear Barak well you think Obama for some people the first rock they ever heard of for us he's the second Barak I think I don't know I don't know if you all haven't heard of another block before I've only heard of two in my life the Obama and the and this man so the point is though he's still leading he's still leading and him following and then I guess getting a spine later God still credits him as having faith or with me but we literally have we literally have Paul giving instructions qualifications for you to come and teach otherwise is sinful is wrong you clearly have a passage here now what has happened not just in the church of Corinth but it happens here in America Paul writes a letter to Timothy telling him the same thing Paula try to teach Timothy how to lead and how to you know so forth and so let's look what he says and he actually differentiates between the males and the females in first Timothy chapter 2 let's start in verse 8 he says therefore I want men and there's a word Andros so you can see how the word kind of goes back and forth between husband and men but this there's nothing possessive here so it's going to be an actual male men I want Andros men in every place to pray lifting up holy hands without wrath and dissension likewise I want women there's a word and I guess for women to adorn themselves with proper clothing modesty and discreet and discreetly not with braided hair or gold pearls of costly garments meaning I don't want the women after just showing off just doing all kind of stuff right I don't want her with everything tight everything low-cut everything showing which problem they hit the issue wasn't the clothing it was how they did the clothing what they were trying to do like you're going out and capturing somebody let's try to go out and find and meet somebody I don't want women to be that way I want women to be modest there's a by the way there's a there's a a misnomer out there and you ladies know better there is a misnomer out there I thought it was the case but I was shown and told better that yeah it's hard to find modest clothing but there's a lot of modest clothing out there there's a lot of modest clothing out there for women you all ain't got to show it off I thought that if you were a size I don't know size eight they made your stuff in size seven that well I guess you got a by size nine or ten or eleven I didn't but come to find out they have modest clothing out there for women they had yeah yeah Mr. Valentine that the dog on leggings that we there really isn't a place for leggings really you might you know what you might as well put on some some panties and some stockings if you're gonna wear leggings you might yeah can we just tell the truth you might as well you might as well just put on panties and stockings do they still make pantyhose I don't because I haven't seen a woman with a run in her stockings in a while so I think maybe they don't they don't have any I don't know but yeah yeah just and then we'll wear them and then get mad cuz somebody's staring at her when you want for somebody stare at what's wrong let me get back on this let me get back on this but rather means of good work as is proper for women again women are going I can making claim to godliness so if you're a woman and you are trying to be godly and making a claim to be godly you might that's the whole point be modest I don't care and he didn't say unless it's hard unless the clothing so that you go to the habit no sorry that that's not an out a woman must quietly receive instruction with submissiveness hmm not just in Korean huh yeah but I do not allow a woman there's a word again Nike woman to teach or exercise authority over a Andros a man but to remain quiet she can praise God and so for obviously obviously but the issue is teaching over a man or having authority over man that's the whole point can she tell a man something sure but in but having the role of a teacher over him nope can't do that can't you serve authority and that's the whole point usurping authority over this person as in teacher however you want to do by leading whatever and a lot of these ladies pastors and men pastors don't know how to teach anyway but the point is you cannot be the head of a man at home or in the church because he's all way he's already contrast or not contrast compared the household of a man must be over and run with with the church yeah I when I said the word when I said the word coming out of my mouth it almost felt dirty be honest it almost felt dirty coming on my mouth I am a not that I'm an angel but I am still old school y'all remember how back in the day you know our our dirty books were the the Sears catalog and the JCP catalog we turned to the to the to the women's underwear section and that was that was that was it for for a for young boy back in the day that was us anyway yes so when I said panties just as I kind of almost felt dirty it leaving my mouth almost said something else almost told you that a lot of women don't wear panties anyway I should have said that but that's true it's almost like that that women they wear these they were closed where some kind of just dip a little bit and you can see some stuff like what are you doing and then turn around and complain that you're being that that the woman is being objectified but you do you are objectifying yourself you're painting yourself this way you're painting yourself this way and then when the lion looks at the blood dripping off the meat you got a problem with that yeah so ladies cover up cover up just just just cover up go out and buy you all all you ladies go out and buy some slips even if you don't have dresses just get your slip and then if you if you want to what is some of you some of you 20 year old like what is a slip mommy what's a slip don't worry baby just put it on put it on anyway he says but I do not allow a woman to teacher exercise authority over a man but remain quiet look what he says he gives a reason to qualify for that for it was Adam who was first created and then eat and it was not Adam who was deceived but the woman being deceived fell into transgression I won't go to the rest of that part that's a whole another topic but isn't it interesting that it was Satan who went after the woman to deceive her now the man just outright said he's like yeah alright fine I'll go ahead do I know better the Bible talks about these men coming in and taking silly women captive there is a difference in the makeup of men and women we think about things differently let's just can we have a good old honest conversation here can we have a good old male female kind of an XY to XX chromosome conversation she said I had I have two slips let's have a conversation here is it just me or do you all believe that women and men are different I just I just want to know do you all think that women and men are different or do you all think they're the same I am squarely in the camp of two genders you all may not be but I am because God is he made him he could determine how many made he made to many women are different and we do things differently a little grandson Anthony the third we call him three and he happens to be three three is like every other little boy now and we're not even worried three has a headband and looks kind of rainbow E rainbow ish nothing wrong with we're not even worried about it because three is a boy through and through three will line up his little toys little his little he's got little dinosaurs little chickens little people little construction workers he'll line him up like he's building like he likes building stuff and then he'll take his truck what is he going to do ladies and gentlemen because he's a boy with his truck I'll let you all tell me what three is going to do with this truck with his toys because it's what boys do not what girls do what boys do do you fellas know what the what the boy is going to do the boy and him is but it comes out we didn't teach him that his parents don't teach him that his parents don't tell him this what a boy does with his with his truck can somebody tell me what do y'all think that three does with his toys he that's right runs him over he smack crashes him that's what he does we didn't tell him that it's just it's just in him it's just in his funny it is it's hilarious now I've got granddaughters to my youngest granddaughter is what is she seven six or seven I don't know she takes her little toys her little dolls and she takes care of them she puts them in the house and no one taught her that she's just girls and boys are different huh mr. writers since he told us that little boys grow up to be daddies and little girls were up to be mommy's amen that's so profound and so maybe God knew what he was doing had a reason for designing us this way to meet certain roles I'll never forget a hard sermon that was preached I didn't preach it I was listening to it and like how was he gonna deliver I'm like let me just sit back thankful that I had to preach this this was 20 something years ago heard this sermon and so I'm in my early 30s I guess you're early 30s I run a time and he had Mr. Rogers a prophet and I'm listening like okay I believe what he's about to say I want to hear how he delivers it and how the audience is gonna take it first of all it's easier for him to say this is older but he said speaking about women going out and getting the job go out and get a job fine if you want to if that's the dynamic that you make up now I can testify this other thing about the reason why people have to go out and get a second job which by the way I was a financial advisor I'm the guy that will sit down and tell you you probably don't need to have two incomes usually better do better with your one income and use resources better save better I know later who made $19,000 a year this was in 2003 for yeah that's not a lot of money then and was a millionaire why because she lived she didn't have a brand new fancy car she she cut coupons things like that and was a millionaire how was she 70 years old no she was 4647 years old goodbye whatever she wanted but what happens is we go out ladies go out and get a job because we want to live above our means and do other things and so you not is when you get extra income you also spend more people wonder wait a second we're making twice as much now but we're spending a little bit more than twice as much yet because now you got the second income in your mind you decided to start spending I don't want to go back in my investment advisor days but that's just the truth and so what he said was fine if you all have made that decision that's what you need to do fine but it does not absolve the woman from her duties her role that God had given her nor does it absolve the man from his role his duty let's say she makes more than him does that still mean that he has that he gets a change no no he's still called by God to do something a man that will not provide for his family is what worse but yeah but she makes a million dollars a year I make the doubt okay what she makes a man that will not provide for his family is worse off worse than an infidel that's God not me cast Ronette thank you for the super child I appreciate that so there are roles sort of fine and those roles don't cease because now she wants to be a pastor matter fact the roles hinder her from being one but again doesn't mean that every man could also be a pastor every man cannot be a pastor he cannot there are some pastors we've we've rattled off a bunch of them over and over who should not be pastors who cannot teach who don't who don't have a good who don't have a good rapport amongst unbelievers let along with believers so just by being a male just by having x y chromosome doesn't mean that you now qualify there are qualifications being a male is just one of them but oh by the way if you don't fit that one the other ones are moot and that's the point he tells Titus that he tells he tells Timothy that as well and then you've got these folks that want to come about and just say all of these but by the way had is it just have you all noticed though that a lot of women listen some of these men do some crazy things too but some of these women I who do you all think who do you all think has outdone who do you all think the women are more outlandish and say some more outlandish things than some of the mean I don't I don't know I'm still trying to figure this out who has said the more crazy things the men are the women but there have been without question there have been some crazy women who does some crazy things in the pulpit I didn't call me to the world I've been similar in assignment to do things in the world and I don't have to ask for a call I don't have to pray for things they hijack me because I'm faithful it's had an amount so you you better never so you never see you I used to live in heaven I know he's faithful wherever I go God rules when I walk on White House grounds God walks on White House grounds when I walked in the river God walked in the river when I go into the dry cleaner that dry cleaning place becomes holy I had every right and authority to declare the White House as holy ground because I was standing there and where I stand is holy Can I ask you guys a question I was having this conversation with my wife if you watch some of these television shows nowadays you'll see that I don't know you pick the show you you pick the show if it's a show where the world is now turned upside down and let's say the world's in chaos like let's say a walking dead or game of thrones what have you you start seeing more and more of the lead characters in leadership on the television show women Jesus loves you thank you so much for the super chat appreciate that you'll see more and more women being the leaders well that's fine on TV that that's that's fine on TV but that's not how that works can let me ask you guys a question me as you guys a question and I'm going to look at the comment the comments in the chat see what you guys think what do you all think how do you think that men look at women who are who are leading if the woman's a boss if she was running the show how do you how do you think the men look at the women who are in leadership not so much how but now I've heard stories of how women look at women leadership but how do men how do you all think that men look at women on on on average most men can't tell you the truth this is an honest statement this is true it is not the same if the leader if the boss was a man it's not the same it is not the same now men will tell you the right words tell you the right words oh sure I'll have a problem with that no problem no problem yeah whatever you say boss and we don't think nothing but yeah that's that says Sheila with less respect by the way Sheila I don't know what happened I don't I think that was an accident I didn't I didn't know but because when you when you say that I was y'all don't know what I'm talking about but I don't know what happened but soon as I saw it I had to go and fix it but next time email me let me know ahead of time so I don't I don't want that to be the case but anyway yeah I can promise you the level of respect is different men will get to them side by themselves and talk about her it is different let me ask you guys a question let me ask me in this question who are you more likely to follow who will move you more a strong woman or a strong man never been a man in history the world has ever been turned on by a strong woman there's never in the history of the world been a man is like yeah you know what that's a strong woman I got to have her never and if he says so he's lying or he's smoking something there's I can't rule the spine a strong woman nowadays Eric Eric the handsome because they've changed I said that this is Eric the guapo y'all so Cory would you say Eric that yeah I don't want y'all thinking anything crazy I'm just I'm reading his name off but men do look differently at a woman if he thinks he's a strong if he thinks that she thinks he's a strong woman bye but I can promise you this though I can promise you this a stronger man will always subdued a strong woman but a strong woman will never subdue a strong man never will never happen then I didn't say that she will never subdue a man now she'll never can I can I get Amy from the brothers a strong man a stronger man will always subdue a strong woman whatever you whatever your definition of a strong woman is a strong woman will never subdue a strong man and God calls men to be strong now she may subdue a strong I mean a weak man a man who's not that strong he may call himself that he's sensitive he's modern do they still use that term nowadays metro sexual I don't do they still use that term anyway anymore you know every now and then someone someone's chat catches me says Cory this is not Bible male ego is not God's mind what Igor are we talking about I'm not I haven't I haven't talked to my ego at all what tell me tell me Ray Curry Junior the thing that I said that's wrong tell me what I said that's not Bible tell give me the one thing that I said that's not biblical give me the one thing oh by the way before you do before you go to typing I'm going to ask you to give me the scripture to company that and and and and I'm going to soon because you don't be able to give me a scripture got to leave the fragile that's part of the problem though because let's just be honest though guys I'm women can encroach on the absence of men or or the presence of weak men because men haven't been doing their job now you come to one of the churches that I was at and a one-on-one going to leadership that's not going first of all we didn't have women that did that we didn't have women that would say whether it was that Oakley Bible fells but in Tony Evans with some of Dr. Bolden whether was that what I was a church of God and Christ and the Bishop Watson or whoever else I was with it just so happened that these were strong men and the the thought of a woman wanting to come and take leadership now if she did she left the church went down the street somewhere because you know what everybody can tell a woman and a man do you know what a woman and a man can tell when a strong man walks in he he ain't got to say anything I wish I would walk in and say tell somebody remind I'm a man don't talk like who you talking I'm a grown man words I've never said I'll say describes money I don't say that you'll you'll my wife will never hear me say I'm a grown man well if you have to tell me that maybe you're not I don't have to that's the problem it's all gonna here I am I got me doing it again I always come back to get no man because that's the issue guys there's a reason why Pharaoh went after the boys there's a reason why I hear it went after a man because he knew that that the Messiah was gonna be a man so never got you never got to tell somebody you never ever ever have this is this is just listen guys this is free this is free for you ladies who are single for you ladies who are married this is free for you men who are single you men who are married this is free for you young fellas you old heads you old men I can help you know we is is too far gone for you this is free you're ready you never ever ever ever ever have to tell anybody what's evident do you hear me you never have to tell anybody a strong man a real man a grown man never has to tell anybody that's what he is because it's evident you never have to tell anybody what is evident amen
