  Despite the fact that I'm a woman, the Bible is clear that women should not preach over men. Logically, sure, it doesn't make sense to the world and even my mind that women cannot teach, but the Bible is the ultimate authority. Not mankind's own logic.

  I am saved. My husband, please pray 🙏 for his salvation, is not saved. It is my duty to preach to our children of the true God the Creator, and of Jesus Christ his Son our savior..  I try to hold Bible study nighty with the kids reading the Bible and saying prayers.

  As a woman who seeks to be more like Christ I agree with all that was said in this episode. We recently moved from Arizona where we attended a Sothern Baptist church to Loughborough Leicestershire, England, which meant we had to find a new church to be members of. It was hard due to the fact that churches are allowing women to preach under the authority of the elders or they appoint a woman outright to be the lead elder or pastor/preacher of their churches. It is crazy to me because Gods word is so clear on this issue. Thank you for addressing this issue...problem that is rampant these days.

  I am a woman who at the beginning hated and appalled this teaching and found it demeaning and honestly speaking i hated Paul the servant of God because i thought he was sexist. But over time i got this understanding that this is the order that pleases God just like having a man as head of the family, Christ as head of the church or very simply like we have a President as the Head of a State, then the Cabinet and other branches of the government system: the President knows that his government can run best under certain designation of duties, rule and regulations : all have different roles to play and cannot be intermixed for smooth operation. But above all these, as a woman know that God has favored you and wants you to serve Him through this(OBEDIENCE), In submitting to this you are actually serving God , what is more beautiful than that. It is more of a power struggle for us women to want and actually fight for what is not supposed to be ours that was the first mistake we made in the garden of Eden lets break the curse and not listen to the devil and be beguiled again. I love serving God and its beautiful to do so and i find fulfillment in doing so. Lets listen to our Love (Yahushua ) who truly loves us and wants to lead us to eternal liberty. Love you my Beloved Sisters in Christ May His Peace richly be with you

  Scripture is the Authority, not the elders or any man in a position in the church.

  The woman can’t preach,but she can teach.Who can she teach?She can teach the young girls how to become women and carry themselves  according to the word of God.

  I agree, everyone should know their role and play their part.   we think we have the bible more figured out now then the early Christians did. We need to go back to the writings of the early Christians and their beliefs so we can learn with accuracy how we should conduct ourselves in the way they did.

  The preaching issue is low-hanging fruit in some ways, as the issue branches out to all the various meetings of God's people.  Elders and godly men need to lead in all gatherings, like the prayer meetings and even times of fellowship.  I went to a prayer meeting for the second time last night, and after bringing up the need for an elder or godly man to lead she gave her "defense" that she has a gift of prayer, and that she puts herself under the authority of the senior pastor.  Somehow her "gift" and lip service to a compromising pastor is sufficient.  Long story short, I didn't know until I said bye that the silent man nearby her was her husband.  Where are the men?  We are being judged in many ways because of the weak men in God's house.
