WOMEN PREACHER'S/PASTORS

[terrance douthard]

I KNOW THIS IS A TOUCHY SUBJECT, BUT I HAVE TO POSE THIS QUESTION. WHERE DID WE AS BAPTIST BELIEVER'S GET WOMAN SHOULDN'T BE PREACHERS OR PASTORS FROM? I'M INTERESTED IN HEARING FROM BPN ON THIS TOPIC

[Eric Hancock]

IF there is no male nor female(in the Spirit) in Christ Church, then WHY do so many fleshly men not want females to have postions in the Body of Christ. The Body of Christ IS Spiritual, isn't IT?"

[Eric Hancock]

HEY BRO,,.My Grandmother told me that I would Preach her Funeral,,and I DID,, she was a CHURCH MOTHER

[Eric Hancock]

Prophetess YOU DONE NOTHING WRONG..I guess that we still have men with the CAVE MAN mentallity that weman should not be used but at the same time it is the weman who are the front runners,,if look at the female Bishops chart of all female bishops they did not just get the title and sit down wanting everyone to be there Gophers,,NO,,they went and perform the works of the ministry..anything else outside of that to me is SPIRITUAL MASTURBATION,,it feels good but dont PRODUCE,,No Production what so ever BUT have the title..So I am in FULL SUPPORT OF THE SISTERS..I cant find My Brother BUSBY where Scripiture Validates Female Bishops and I am at the library,,Now I have to Go the the Department of ARCHIVES and open up the old Books ..And Rev.Lukett, I agree that some wont allow female Preachers in there Pulpit..My father is one who has that Ideology as well he also says that a woman cant preach if she is on her Cycle..I cant find that anywhere in scripture as well..But when he was doing bad it was Juanita Bynum who spoke LIFE into his situation,,and it came to pass,,NOW HE SAYS THAT ONLY JUANITA CAN preach!!!HAHAHA

[Eric Hancock]

Still searching brother Terrance,Busby and Rev.Luckett

[Eric Hancock]

Right now. I can't find any,,BUT I am still Researching! I am on my I-phone but will continue to research once I get to Library..this is some good stuff..Sisters ain't playing,,LOL

[terrance douthard]

thanks for responding Rev Luckett and Brother Hancock ,i thought i'd get more comments from the Pastor's and Preacher's that don't believe God can use woman as leaders in these days.oh yeah Bro Busby i understand 1 timothy 3 clearly, i also understand that the letter paul wrote to timothy were charges for the early church. there was a reason back then woman could'nt lead

[Eric Hancock]
