The same as not all men want to preach, not all women want to do kids' ministry, it's really not my thing.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193896306650823769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921791.post-7901536711441111152009-04-22T19:24:00.000+08:002009-04-22T19:24:00.000+08:00Big one Sarah, all I can say is that I agree with ...Big one Sarah, all I can say is that I agree with you on the point you made about it being rather blurry when we allow women to lead in some contexts, and not others. Who decides which settings are appropriate and how can we be sure they are right? <br /><br />I have felt aware of the limited, but real opportunity to teach in song-leading when I've done this in the past, not to mention the ad-hoc teaching that occurs in Bible studies and one-on-one discussions.<br /><br />I think that Paul was definitely including formal settings, such as church meetings, in his comment to Timothy about women not teaching. That seems a given. What would Paul, and therefore God, have though about women leading Bible studies? It's pretty hard to be certain without knowing exactly what issues Paul had with women teaching. If it was to do with the God-ordained roles for men and women, then it's hard to imagine God would want women leading men in any spiritual context.<br /><br />Beyond this I don't know, and so it's an issue where I prefer to 'err on the side of caution'. Perhaps that is what a lot of others in the 'conservative' world do as well?Tarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15292436105466438720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921791.post-79050184093836813362009-04-22T17:04:00.000+08:002009-04-22T17:04:00.000+08:00Ooops, that 'the' was meant to be 'they are'.

Perh...Thanks Mark and thanks Amanda for the award.<br /><br />Perhaps the unsure of their position so they are reluctant to comment. I guess I can understand, I seldom comment on blogs when I'm very unsure of my views.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193896306650823769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921791.post-49865631536611624462009-04-22T15:10:00.000+08:002009-04-22T15:10:00.000+08:00Hi Sarah, I was given a blog award, and with it I ...Hi Sarah, I was given a blog award, and with it I am to nominate 5 or more others.

I have been to many conferences where women have been the keynote speaker, or one of the speakers, and I have been blessed and enriched by what they have shared. <br /><br />However...I believe the husband is to be the spiritual leader in the home...and I believe that is how God has wired us, and how it works best, I see it in my own church, when the dad comes to church, so does the rest of the family...when the dad for whatever reason is absent, it is a struggle...<br /><br />I think in some way this must apply to the church, but how...I am not as dogmatic on as I once was.Mark Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11982019941512009578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29921791.post-78192801078173599622009-04-21T18:15:00.000+08:002009-04-21T18:15:00.000+08:00C'mon Mark :)
