Female Preachers...

 

You know?

If you dont think they should be able to preach?

Then dont go to or be a part of a church that allows it.

See how difficult that was?

"But it is the word of God Andrew!"

Yeah well...

So is this:

Joel 2:28-29

28 And it shall come to pass 

afterward, 

that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; 

and your sons 

and your daughters 

shall prophesy, 

your old men shall dream dreams, 

your young men shall see visions:

29 And also upon the servants 

and upon the handmaids 

in those days 

will I pour out my spirit.

There is a clear 

eschatological framework

(End of this age)

 for Joel 2 

as the locust there 

mirror the locust in 

Revelation 9.

Excerpt from

( the hopefully soon to be finished lol)

Chuck Missler Angels pt.3 "The Dark Side".

So when does:

"and your daughters 

shall prophesy"

take place exactly?

Thats my question.

And why is Joel 2:28-29 

always, intentionally

left out of this discussion?

I just can not stand cherry picking verses

to support favored positions, when other verses

clearly take precedence.

Never seen anybody 

not one single person ever

who was defending a 

"only males" can be preachers 

posistion bring it up

and its pretty obvious to me 

as to why that would be.

The whole thing hinges on one word:

"Afterward"

as this changes the situation.

So after what?

Becomes the question.

Remember this:

Peter announced the fulfillment

of this part of Joel 2 

on the day of Pentecost.

Acts 2:14-21

14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.

16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:

20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

So when do "the male only" types

purpose that

"and your daughters shall prophesy"

happems?

These verses just get ignored 

and like I said it's pretty easy to see why.

It's pretty clear

 that the afterward spoken of

is after Christ ascension.

As we had prophetesses 

as far back as Acts

Acts 21:8-9

8 And the next day we that were of Paul's company departed, and came unto Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, which was one of the seven; and abode with him.

9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy.

And if you get all into the semantics about 

the differences between prophetesses and preachers?

"well thats not a preacher, or a pastor 

thats a different title a different job function" etc 

then you are just splitting hairs 

that just don't need to be split.

The Spiritual gift of prophesy

is multifaceted, and its purpose

is to build up the church.

It is to be able:

To teach, to instruct, to enlighten, to inform, 

to explain complex things simply

and to be able to predict.

Trying to say that the prophetesses in Acts weren't preachers

is about as stretchy as stretchy gets and it just flat out just ignores

Peters call of the fulfillment of  Joel 2 on the day of Pentecost.

In short?

My mind just can not do the mental gymnastics needed

to hold a "male only" preachers position

since that day.

(Pentecost)

From my Mendenhall reference Bible:

Acts 21:9

(At the bottom)

The R references Joel 2:28

The T translates as "Preached"

(Notes on the right.)

Also? 

A strict legalistic approach to

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 

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.

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.

would seem to necessitate 

women never being able to speak 

in the sanctuary

under any circumstances, 

this is also never brought up.

AND

1 Corinthians 11:5

5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.

Would seem to indicate

that women were indeed already

Prophesizing during Paul's time.

So whats the problem now?

Now ask yourself:

Is there a current 

shortage of preachers?

(Yes there is and it is 

across denominations)

What entity do you think

benefits from that?

Now the big one 

EVERYBODY

just seems to forget:

Did Christ break ANY 

of the religious rules of the day?

And?

 Did he have good cause 

to do so?

If you know your book

you know he broke plenty.

As far as me and honey are concerned?

THIS IS AND HAS BEEN

A SETTLED MATTER

FOR A WHILE NOW.

If you don't want female preachers?

Then don't belong to a church 

that allows it.

Pretty simple.

But my main point 

to the people who hold a 

"Only men can be preachers" 

position is this:

When does this:

"and your daughters 

shall prophesy"

take place exactly?

I got all day.
