This topic is one of the most controversial in many church circles. There are whole denominations that say that women shouldn’t be in any ministry role. Some say that women can be in ministry but can’t be deacons, preachers, or pastors. These arguments are based on a literal interpretation of 1 Timothy 2:12; 1 Timothy 3:1-13; 1 Corinthians 14:34. The problem is these verses they use are taken out of its original cultural and historical context. But when we take the time to put these verses back into its original context we don’t get an anti-women in ministry. Apostle Paul actually commissioned women to do ministry (Priscilla, Junia, Phoebe, Lydia, etc. Paul who is an Apostle followed Christ’ example. Jesus is the only Rabbi in Jewish history that allowed women to be His disciples and commissioned them to spread the Gospel of the risen Messiah (Matt 28:10; John 20:17-18). I hope you enjoy this episode.
