WOMEN IN MINISTRY

 BIBLICALLY WOMEN SERVING IN MINISTRIES:

The Senior Apostle & God's chosen ordained Messenger brings a revolution of biblical Christ-Faith and Belief. For centuries, the religious leaders and Churches had made their traditions worldly in authority over the Bible, which resulted in many practices contrary to Jesus Christ. The Scripture alone is authoritative for the faith and practice of the Christ Jesus Royal Believers. The Bible tells us that God’s Word is true, God-breathed, and complete ( 2 Timothy 3:16 ), and we are warned not to go beyond what is written ( 1 Corinthians 4:6 ).


Lord Jesus, I ask that you would help me write this very important message to your Leaders and Members of your Church Body...Heavenly Father, I don't claim to know it all, ( But ) I do know that the Holy Spirit is ( The Teacher ) and He will (Teach ) Jesus' Royal Believers all things in Jesus' Name... There is much contention among Bible-believing Leaders and Members over what roles Women of God can fill in Ministry. Christians can and certainly do disagree on the answers to how Women of faith can function in the Church Fellowships. So, what is the primary reason for this ongoing debate?... But allow me to say or write this, and it is biblical and the gospel truth, and not debatable at all. In Christ and under Christ, all religious buildings, just to name a few, starting here, Churches, Temples, Chapels, Synagogues, Cathedrals, Houses of God, Houses of Prayer, Tabernacles, and the like are non-biblical and outright sinful, along with today's many massive, segregated demon denominations, and yes I must add this all of your religious holy days under the Old covenant and it's giving system are done away with in Christ new covenant, now can you handle the truth? the bible word for all I just stated is in the book of Hebrews, Obsolete and has passed away, vanished.

Most of the debate is centered around the concept of Women having spiritual authority over men. This stems from 1 Timothy 2:12, which says: the Gentile Apostle wrote here "He do not permit a Woman to teach or to exercise authority over a Man; rather, She is to remain quiet" (see also 1 Corinthians 14:34). The common rebuttal that Christ Believers use to counter this verse is ( Galatians 3:28 ), which states: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Others say that since (1 Timothy 2:13–14 ) seems to root the prohibition in the created order, it still applies. The question, then, is whether the issue of a woman having authority over a Man is relevant to the culture at the time of writing, or if it is more relevant to the formation of the governmental structure of the Church Fellowships and thus still applicable today.

The Greek word Presbuteros, translated "seasoned male overseer," is used sixty-six times throughout the New Testament. (Presbutera) It is the feminine form of the word, and it is never used in reference to Shepherds or Elders. The requirements for an Elder in the Church are outlined in (1 Peter 5:1–4 ), and based on the criteria listed in ( 1 Timothy 3:1–7 ), the roles of Elders, Bishops, Pastor, and Overseers are interchangeable because they have the same required qualifications and serve in the same way (Titus 1:6–9). The use of the masculine form of the word, along with the phrase from (1 Timothy 2:12 ) that says Women of faith should not "teach or exercise authority over a man," seems to indicate that the roles of Elders and Pastors should be for Men, as they involve teaching and leading a congregation and overseeing their spiritual growth (1 Timothy 3:2).

Other than this one aspect, it seems there is no real reason for any questioning as to what roles Women of faith can fill in ministry. Throughout the Bible, women have always held roles of critical value and importance in the work of the ministry. When Jesus was crucified, it was women who stayed with Him at the cross after the men left (Matthew 27:55–56). Jesus Christ first appeared to Mary Magdalene after His resurrection and commissioned her as an evangelist of His resurrection (John 20:1–17 ).

In the early Church Fellowships, godly Women were equal disciples, praying alongside the Men and working in the Church Body or hosting the Church gatherings in their homes (Colossians 4:15). It is possible that Phoebe was a female deaconess (Romans 16:1). Apostle Paul mentioned multiple Women of faith by name and referenced them as co-workers, showing that they were viewed as equals in the Kingdom work of Christ (Romans 16:6, 12;) ( Philippians 4:2–3;) ( Philemon 1:2).

There is no Scripture preventing Women from filling any other role in Ministry, or is it?. It is safe to assume that Women of God in many Believers' minds that Women may be children's and youth ministers, worship leaders, and any other number of ministry roles. The only seeming restriction set in place within the Bible is that Women of God should not be in authority over adult men in the Church Families. Therefore, with an open mind and heart, the ministry restriction concerning women is a matter of spiritual authority rather than one related to functionality, indicating that women are not in any way less able than men to serve in the ministry with a loving, caring spirit and heart that love our Lord God and blessed Savior Jesus Christ. Now let His Churches respond by saying or typing. Amen.

Sincerely, In The Lord God Jesus Christ Kingdom Purpose,
