The 10 most common misconceptions about women which leads to sloppy theology

REASON #7

  •  Women can’t be trusted. “Women were considered invalid witnesses in a Jewish  court of law.” –Josh McDowell, from: If I had faked the resurrection. With verbal information. John 4:26 Jesus 1st revealed  himself as Messiah to a woman. Jesus 1st appeared to a  woman after the resurrection. Also, the angels entrusted  these ladies with the news. John 20:17-18; Luke 24:11 With written information. Phoebe (diakonos) carried Paul’s  epistle to the Christians at Rome.  Romans 16:1-2

    Great posts… How do you think this applies to the SBC stance against women as pastors?

    Dion,

    Whereas I believe the spiritual gift of pastor can be given to women (according to Eph. 4 and Titus 2 – women to women), many American churches have their pastors function as Elders (ruling and governing – 1 Pet 5) and therefore it complicates the issue. The function of New Testament Elders (ruling and governing) is reserved for males. The American church title of Pastor confuses the issue and prevents some women from using their pastoral (shepherding) gift.

    Does this make sense? If not…let’s do coffee and not sound bytes…look me up.

    Great question by the way.
