Double Jeopardy

Can women be called to pastor or lead a church? No. The Bible clearly states in 1 Corinthians 14:34 KJV, 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.

If you are a woman who feels called, the above New Testament law is clear. I suppose this leaves opportunity to teach outside of the church, perhaps at home, yet there is also 1 Timothy 2:12 KJV to consider, which says, But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

To follow the will of God can be difficult both for men and women, but if you are a woman and violate either of these two commandments you are off to a bad start. If you continue against God’s will, you will also be judged for any errant doctrine you teach, hence double jeopardy.

Ladies, God is giving you a pass that men don’t have. Take it. Don’t follow after your own desires or people who cannot read. You can testify to others by your life and move them by your conversation.

A Little Less Talk, A Little More Conversation

If you have never read Corinthians, I’m going to ask you not to read this post. It will inform you of sin of which you may be ignorant. In this instance the Bible actually says let them be ignorant. 1 Cor. 14:38

The Bible in 1 Peter 3:1 KJV says, Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives;

Now at the church I attend, two of the most outspoken women have husbands that do not attend church with them. If they followed the word of God, if they followed Corinthians maybe their spouses would be saved. What does Corinthians say, 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 KJV says, 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. [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.

It isn’t just something written to the Corinthians 2000 years ago. It is one of the clearest New Testament commandments, and if you followed it, maybe you would save yourself and your spouse through your conversation.
