Women are NOT AUTHORIZED TO PREACH AND TEACH THE GOSPEL. I don't care what the civil authorities say... Paul FORBID IT. You cannot be consistent as a professing Christian if you disregard this. You who refuse to obey will end up being, at the day of Judgement, an "ALMOST Christian".
Therefore, I implore you to REPENT of this.
There's nothing more saddening than to see a woman trying to lecture me, or other men pastors (God Forbid that i even have to classify the gender of the office of the pastor) on the Bible and its doctrines.
DO you not know that by you doing this and then trying to justify yourselves in what you're doing by laying the claim of "many, many years of Bible Study in context" actually discloses your hardness of heart and total lack of understanding?
Look ladies... you cannot use Devorah as an excuse to justify being a pastorix (that's a female pastor or teacher of the Bible). Devorah had Barak alongside her and she sat under a palm tree, not running her mouth in the visible church assemblies or on social media.
I remind you that the Church are the body of believers, not the building where those who gather for corporate worship are housed.
Please, stop doing it. You are casting a blight upon the Church and shaming the Lord Jesus Christ and the Gospel.
And don't try to justify yourselves further in your sin by claiming that The Lord Jesus Christ appeared to Mary Magdeline first after He rose from the grave. Saying, "He is Risen" is not even the same thing as preaching and teaching the Gospel to others.
The very fact that one would even rise to defend themselves after such clear and unambigious instructions (1 Corinthians 14:34-35; 1 Timothy 2:11-14, Genesis 3:16, 1 Corinthians 11:3) is further proof of a willful disobedience toward the Gospel. 1 John 1:9 does not take effect toward those who deliberately and willfully transgress.
Please, just stop it.
