"Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well." 1 Timothy 3:12 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/1ti.3.12.KJV



I came across very interesting, friendly chat over women leadership in church. One says women shouldn't lead and shouldn't be a church worker as it clearly violates the commandments of God. What is your take on this?

Women are an asset to the church in many ways.





In a church building

Women shouldn't Lead if there is a Man who is capable of leading . He has to be saved and lead by the Holy Spirit to be a good shepard.



God is the Head of the church and Man is the head of woman.



The Real Church is the Body of Christ.

1 Timothy 2:12-14, “But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but remain quiet. For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being quite deceived, fell into transgression.”

1 Timothy 3:15, “but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.

At the very least, there is an authority structure set up by God. The woman is not to have authority over the man (1 Timothy 2:12) in the church context, “the household of God,” (1 Timothy 3:15). This verse is not about political, social, or economic aspects of the secular realm. It is not about a “patriarchal society” at the time of Paul. This is the instruction to the household of God and anchors its teaching on the doctrinal truth that Adam was created first.



Bible with woman's handsWhen we look further at Paul’s teachings, we see that the bishop/overseer is to be the husband of one wife (1 Timothy 3:2), who manages his household well, and has a good reputation (1 Timothy 3:4-5, 7). Deacons must be “men of dignity” (1 Timothy 3:8). Paul then speaks of women in verse 11 and their obligation to receive instruction. Then in verse 12, Paul says “Let deacons be husbands of one wife…” Again, in Titus 1:5-7, Paul says, “For this reason I left you in Crete, that you might set in order what remains, and appoint elders in every city as I directed you, namely, if any man be above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion. For the overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward…” Notice that Paul interchanges the word ‘elder’ and ‘overseer.’



The Greek for “husband of one wife” is found in these verses



1 Timothy 3:2, “andra mias gunaikos”; andra = man/husband; mias = of one; gynaikos = woman/wife

1 Timothy 3:12, “andres mias gynaikos”; andres = men/husbands; mias = of one; gynaikos = woman/wife

Titus 1:6, “aner mias gunaikos”; aner = man/husband; mias = of one; gynaikos = woman/wife

In other words, each is saying a “man of one woman,” or a “one-woman man.”

There are several churches in today's society that are lead by women pastors of different denominations.



Society changes things but God never changes.



We are no longer under the Law but under grace. We don't follow the law of moses like in the Biblical days.

Mankind couldn't keep up the law anyway, and animal and other sacrifices were made for sins to be forgiven.





Christ died on the cross for our sins , He alone is the sacrifice for our sins. We put our Trust in Jesus Christ alone.

This is the message of the Cross of Christ.
