[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 6101458, member: 65823"] Did she usurp authority over a man when she told the news? Did she push Peter aside on the day of Pentecost and tell him, "I'll preach this!" Was there a worship assembly or bible study going on? A business woman no doubt. And a good one. Doesn't mean she violated New Testament instructions when she was in worship. Both her and her husband were instrumental in converting Apollos. There was no assembly. Private discussions. She was not a deacon. This is an office in the church that has qualifications for a male. She was called a deaconess. She was not in a position of authority. More probable noted for her service. The feminine form of the word diakonos does not authorize an official class or order of "deaconesses" any more than the feminine form of the word presbuteros (translated elders) authorizes female elders. What safety the scripture? 1 Corinthians 11:3- "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." This text places woman in submission to man. Submission does not mean inferiority; Jesus was equal to God (Phil. 2:6) but also subject to him (1 Cor. 11:3). Many women are more intelligent than men. In many congregations, women more devoted to the Lord than many of the men. So, not saying that women are inferior to men because they must be submissive to them. 1 Corinthians 14:14- "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 said the law." This ordinance is for "all the churches of the saints" (14:33). This commandment forbids women publicly addressing the entire assembly. 1 Timothy 2:11-12. "Let the women learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be silence." The limitation placed on a woman's teaching by this passage is over a man." She cannot be placed in a role in which she usurps authority over a man. [LIST] [*] [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
