Should Women Preach?

Answering one of the most controversial questions in Christendom... Should Women Preach? What does the Bible actually teach Believers about it? In order to answer this question, we will examine only the Pauline epistles to see what hides just beneath the surface, just waiting to be discovered.

1Timothy 2:11 & 12 

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

 

2 Peter 3:14-16 (Peters Warning)

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

1Ti 3:1  This is a true saying, If a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.

The Greek would actually read,

This is a true saying, If "I 'tis" meaning if any; whosoever desire the office of a bishop,  epi thu meō  meaning set the heart upon, a good work.

 

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.
