Do women have rights in church?

Question

There are a group of women in my church that are simply jealous of my good looks and fashion sense (and probably the fact that their husbands are lusting for me). They are gathering a petition to have me banned from the church.

Don't I have rights under God to attend the church of my choice?

Answer 1

Any responsible church pastor or priest would shoot these jealous women down in flames if he were presented with such an outrageous petition....As long as you were not screwing their husbands...

Answer 2

Women have rights, but you look like a male in your photo. (If you're actually a woman, forgive me.) You have a right to ATTEND any church. However, you must follow the moral guidelines of the Bible in order to JOIN a church or to be a church LEADER.

I've never seen a homosexual male that I was jealous of even though some have been more attractive than me on the surface. When a cross dresser removes his clothes and cosmetics, he is still a male. I am female no matter what. Therefore, there is no need to be jealous. I don't think you are ugly, but I don't think you're beautiful.

If you show up at church in female attire, you might be a bad example to the youth.

Answer 3

Your not there to draw the attention of men in Chruch. If you want that, there are other places that welcome that type of behavior.
You are obviously not in chruch for the right reason. I pray that if you don't carry yourself in the proper manner, that their petition is granted.

1 John 2:16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

Those men need to be listening to the pastor and not paying attention to you.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

But on the other hand, you might just be making a fool of yourself which is why they are looking at you in the first place. Beauty is on the inside where it really counts, not on the outside, where it evidentually fades.

Answer 4

"Oh Lord, it's hard to be humble, when you're perfect in every way. You don't have to look in the mirror cause you get better looking each day....."

Perhaps your attitude has more to do with why women don't like you ? Yes you do have a right to attend any church you want , but my question to you is , what have YOU DONE to get church ladies to start a petition against you? It probably had to be pretty bad.

Answer 5

Women are allowed to preach God's word to other people.
(Psalm 68:11) Jehovah himself gives the saying; The women telling the good news are a large army.
As to " in God's House/Church
(1 Timothy 2:11-15) Let a woman learn in silence with full submissiveness. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach, or to exercise authority over a man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 Also, Adam was not deceived, but the woman was thoroughly deceived and came to be in transgression. 15 However, she will be kept safe through childbearing, provided they continue in faith and love and sanctification along with soundness of mind.

If any religious group allows something other than this, they are not obeying scripture. For example, women pastors and priests.
Its there in the Bible for all to see.

Answer 6

unless you are on some kind of quest to show them some spiritual enlightenment why would you choose to go to that church?this is why i don't worship in a church and make it a point to say that religion can be a false image and foster false worship.leave there and find a place that offers peace and guidance.But I wouldn't leave without letting these people know how uncomfortable they have made you.I would stand up at testimony time and tell them how their actions effected me and remind them that God knows their real hearts.That is what people like that need,to face their actions in front of the ones that are hiding behind God.

Answer 7

Well then why dont you start a petition for you to remain at the church. If all the men sign yours, and all the women sign theirs, you will have two more signatures than the women, one from you and one from the pastor. Surely a fool proof plan.

Answer 8

I am not sure whether you can be banned from church... But there are things you can do yourself.
You can't change your looks for them, its something more that you need to be thankful about.. But you might as well lean to a more conservative dress-sense. After all, you're going there for prayer, aren't you?

God created you, and He knows how well you look, dress humble-clean-good when you are to meet Him.

Answer 9

Hello,

God looks on the heart, not what we are wearing or good looks. Who is it most important to please? When we strive to please God, all other things fall into place. Yes, we should attend the
church of our choice, but to worship in spirit and in truth and to lead others to Christ. It is not intended for anything else. Read I Timothy 2:9 and other scriptures regarding proper women attire.

Answer 10

Ok first of all I dont think they can ban you from the house of god and if they do that is weird. You have the right to go to any church you choose to go to and no one should be able to tell you differently and if they are then they can just screw themselves.
