Can women be preachers?

Answer 1

Only if she has a call from God to do so.
some says that she only has to preach for kids and women
because men has the authority from God according to the bible to do so.

Answer 2

NO not in accordance with God's word they can not. They can be teachers in classes and at home and in their daily lives though,
But the Bible says that women are to be silent during the worship service to God. 1Corinthians 13:34 and 1 Timothy 2:11 Scripture and verse and yes I am a woman and God knows what is best. He does not tell me to be silent everywhere just in the assembly .
While the preacher is teaching and spreading the gospel.

Yes we are allowed to sing in the worship service just not get up and usurp authority over the men who preach.

Answer 3

We dont have preachers in the Mormon church. We all participate. We have a Bishop that over see's things such as problems, callings, things that you may need to repent for. But, each sunday we have talks in sacrament which some may call preaching, and anyway.. we are all asked to participate. You get a call from the Bishopric and they ask you to talk on tithing or prayer, its for all of us to participate.

We have MISSIONARIES that go out into the world and teach the gospel and we do have sisters who do that... but they dont baptize becuase women do not have the Preisthood to do such things. The Elders do the baptizing. And women are NOT called as Bishops either. Only the men who again, have the Preisthood.

Answer 4

Sure...

Most of what is wrong with Christianity stems from Saint Paul.
Paul was an avid hater of women.....

Much of the modern problems you face are because of this "Rock of the Church". Much of the problems Christianity has had to over come in the last 1000 years can be traced back to his views and decisions...

"Conhospitae" (females that passed out the sacrament) and women in general were removed from the Church. Women were determined to be "unclean" by Paul and although it took several hundred years.... his viewpoints eventually became the only "Orthodox" viewpoint.

Answer 5

In the Salvation Army, Single Women are equial to single men preachers, and when they are a couple, they are both preachers.

Answer 6

The Bible plainly teaches against women preachers so according to the Bible women cannot be preachers for it is a shame if they do so.


1Co 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
1Co 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
. Gen_3:16.
1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Answer 7

Answer 8

yes of course God does not create a difference. if you have a calling to preach you should. not all women can be preachers as not all men are but there is no reason they can not be from Gods word.

Answer 9

According to Christian scripture no:

1st Timothy 2:11-14,

11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner.

Answer 10

Yes of course, the Lord uses all. I really enjoy Joyce Meier!

However, I personally prefer a male (I am female) because a male is the head of the home, and should be the head of the church too, because God created the male to lead.

I prefer any male to be in authority over me as opposed to a female.

Answer 11

Yes a woman can be an ordained minister.

The problem is still finding a congregation that will accept a woman in this position
