Can women preach

Be a preacher?

Not according to the Bible.

1 Corinthians 14:34

1 Timothy 2:11-12

The real question is what is the goal: to please God or please man? We already know what God wants because its written down and is clear what it means. Naturally, some will try to twist that to mean whatever else they want it to mean, but that doesn't make it true. God knows our hearts when we try to distort the truth.

Blessings Shafer!,

Why wouldn't women be allowed to preach as long as they speak from the Spirit of Truth? The term "woman" simply refers to a form of flesh. There's no such thing as female or male Spirit. The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts as nothing. God is Spirit. Spirit gives birth to spirit; flesh gives birth to flesh. Certainly males can and do often times speak and preach NOT from the Spirit of Truth , but from faith in the flesh as being one's identity. Again God is Spirit and Spirit gives birth ONLY to spirit.

Speaking Truth given us ONLY by the Holy Spirit, is communicated from the Mind of God to the mind of His creation, discerning not whether the speaker perceives one's self as male or female. We All were created by His Spirit as perfect equals. Focusing on bodies will show us this isn't true. The Vision of Christ overlooks the physical and knows you exactly as you were created; out of Holiness. If God is perfect and eternal, then by definition anything He creates would also have to be perfect and eternal. This is flawless logic. Nothing and no one can change God's Mind. Truth should not be complicated.

Hello brother I have to agree with you . The Bible does say that there is one Spirit of Truth and we are neither male or female in Christ we are all the Bride . Christ got his bride the same way Adam got his . From a wound in his side . Both were in a deep sleep . Personally I don't think that women should take to the pulpit and give a lesson in a formal church service and none do in my congregation . I have met many sisters who have more knowledge and understanding of the Bible than I do and I have been very happy to learn from them in private conversation . This site is not a formal church situation so I don't have any problem in reading and learning from messages posted by women . Anyone who can enhance my understanding of God's Word is a blessing to me . God uses many different types of people to get His message across and God is Righteous so we can't argue with His methods .

I didn't read this until after I already posted about people trying to distort the truth. This is a good example of what I was referring to and sure is a creative excuse not to follow God's commands that I've never heard before. If someone wants to please a false god, wokeism, leftism, feminism, or any other religion then follow this advice, but if someone wants to follow God then follow what He says in the Bible.
