My parents and I recently had a conversation about this issue and I think I may have made a decent point.
Alright, so let's start. The Bible says that women may not teach....
Jesus tells all believers to spread the gospel.
Example 1. Christian God loving woman is a pastor/minister and has brought thousands to Jesus and salvation. Her disobedience to God by teaching is a sin right? Sin is sin.
Example 2. Holier than though Christian woman doesn't teach, and really doesn't do anything for Christ. She watches smutty soap operas. An addiction to watching immoral behavior on TV is a sin (in my opinion)
Stealing is a sin.
Both women die. Is the female teacher saved despite her blatant disobedience to God? I mean, she brought countless souls to Christ while the other woman who considered herself a better Christian spent more time watching sm ut and borderline porn.
Sorry for the silly sounding example. I know I'm trying to prove a point that Sin = Sin = Sin, but at the same time I'm trying to use sins that are considered "not as bad"
If both women are saved, will the woman that taught be rewarded by God for saving souls? Those names were written in the book of life by the hand of God. If he wrote their names there, then he knew HOW they would come to him, and you can't say that no one has come Jesus after hearing a woman teach. So women teaching bad, but since people can be saved from their words God allows it? Would the woman be punished despite doing God's will ? (It is God's will if those names were indeed in the book of life. Those souls could have heard the gospel some other way, yet an omniscient God knew they would believe in his son through this woman's mouth....)
Any thoughts, or am I just mad. (not angry. Loony)
