I have been here in 3 years and no serious man have written to me.
Are men frighten for me because I am a Pastor.
If there is a man that am looking for a wife to be with him in the Ministry should he don�t care where she is from because female Pastors isn�t all women that am.
I am an ordained Pastor in a church in Florida and I have my church in USA.
What kind of wife do you that am a preacher looking for ?
I know many preachers, even in old age want to have a young woman to could get a child with.
So I wondering if preachers is more in to find a woman to have kids with or have a woman to work for GOD with ?
What is the most important ? To make your own kids or make already born people to be GOD�s children ?
We know how many children there is in this world that have no parents so why do we need to do our own when many should be happy to be adopted ?
I have a daughter that already is in the Ministry and that is not garantee a new baby will be in the Ministry how much it�s parents have tried. I know many from my past that is born by parents in the church and have going in to world and make bad things....it�s no garantee a baby will be a child of GOD even if it�s born in good soil.
Of course I can only speak for myself on that one. I would have to know that regardless of her being a pastor that she would submit to me as the spiritual head - even if that in some ways spilled over into her ministry - although I would probably be fine with her being there.
And I am also kind of curious as to what you think about that ? - although I am not looking at any female pastors right now.
Your question is really loaded from my point of view. Because there are so many things that could come into play with regard to what my scare any individual with regard to that. But GENERALLY SPEAKING I do not think that would scare most men.
I think there is an misunderstanding from many men.
There should not need to be any kind of fight about who am the head of the family or in the spirit.
Most female Pastors know that the Bible talking about be equal, to work side by side in the ministry to reach the goal both know they should try to reach.
I think many men think they will lost their position to be the head of the family only because she mybe have a higher spirit level and understanding.
But if you find a woman that am really picked by GOD to be a Pastor she have also the gift of being fair to people around her, to listen to her husband, show him love and stand in loyality to him.
She is also a woman in to take care of those in her family and not only be occupited of her job in the church.
She know how to make time for everything because the Bible tell us that everything have it�s time.
She have the gift of be patient and tolerant.
She is not stressed or irritated because she know God work everything out for her and make things go surprisingly smooth when least espect it.
She don�t treat her husband as lower than her but equal and in my case do I prefer my husband to be the head of the family when it comes to deal with the world.
I want him to take the ultimate decision when we can�t agree to something, he will have the last word between us two.
As picked by GOD am I humble but I am not a second hand citizen. I can tell if something is wrong and not only accept it.
The woman ( and the man ) that am picked by GOD is also very wise so there will not be any conflicts between her and her husband.
I think strong believing single men when coming close to a woman picked by GOD will also have satan behind his back telling him many silly and dumb fears for the two to not come together instead to think by himself do he listen to satan.
I think much is misunderstanding and fear of to be put down lower in his position in the world, family and also in the church.
Its not just in dealing with the world that he is to be the head but in all matters and especially the spiritual realm - and that is true whether or not she has a better understanding than he does. The word is clear. Its not popular to teach that truth in a lot of churches but that is what the truth is.
And if a guy has anything on the ball at all he knows that is important. It's God's order of doing things. So if you think you are going to run things - and a man picks up on that - he is using good wisdom not to hang around.
I would also loose the magazine cover on your profile. Bottom line is men do not like that.
I think I should say - that I am not sure what your position is or assuming how you come accross to other men. But I think you probably know what I am saying.
I think some men avoid female pastors not so much because we are afraid, but because of passages we read like these:
1 Corinthians 14:33-35 "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. 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. 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."
1 Timothy 2:11-14 "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression."
There could be more to these passages, but just thought i'd point these out.
I am sure that you are right about men being bothered by a woman being a pastor. Personally I don't have a big problem with that and of course what the passage you quoted in Timothy is speaking to is speaking about "usurping" a man's authority which would include everything from taking the man's speaking time, to speaking over him or contradicting him.
Personally I have "some" mixed feelings about women being pastors but mainly think that women should minister to other women.
Joyce Meyers for example is "ok" with me although not one of my favorites, but also if you look at her congregation its probably at least 85 percent women.
