Women ministers continue to be impugned by certain male “leaders” in the Body of Christ.

This blog will not delve into the depths of the disinformation being perpetrated on Christ’s Body, nor will it delve into the misinformed who through their misdiagnosis of this issue continue to mistreat a huge portion of Christ’s Body.

I have some questions that I would appreciate the fair minded portion of the faithful to consider:

• Are female believers priests in the kingdom of God [heaven]?
  • Are female believers included in the royal priesthood?
  • Are female believers included in the ‘us’ found in “He has made us kings and priests to our God and Father”?
  • Is a believing husband the only priest in the marriage if the wife is a believer too?
  • What is the function of a priest?
  • What are the privileges, rights and responsibilities of a priest?
  • If female believers are indeed priests do they have the same privileges, rights and responsibilities of a male priest?
• If females are not included in the priesthood because they do not have certain body parts then are gentile males excluded from the priesthood because the original priesthood was made up of Jewish males?
• What does this mean to you?
  • “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”
    • Does this mean that to all who are one in Christ there are no ethnic, socio-economic or gender limitations or exclusions?
    • How can we all be one in Christ if female believers in Christ are second class citizens of heaven?
• What is the difference in unity and uniformity?
• If female believers are excluded in the royal priesthood does this mean all the male believers are the head and all the female believers make up the rest of the Body?
• If believing wives are not priests with full authority to represent Christ then why did God give Eve the same commission and authority He gave Adam?
• Why did Eve get deceived?
  • Eve was one of Adam’s ribs when God commissioned ‘them’ to fully represent Him on the planet.
• Why is Adam called the man of sin? – “Through one man [Adam] sin entered the world.”
  • What was Adam’s [the male] sin?
  • What if Adam never washed his wife [Eve] with the water of God’s Word to ‘them’ concerning their mutual commission to represent Him on the planet?
  • What if Eve was deceived because she did not have all the information God gave to her husband?
• Why is it okay for women to teach male children but not male adults?
  • What does it say about male adults who are afraid of a woman teaching them?
• Do you honestly believe the Last Adam [Jesus the Christ] is making the same mistake the first Adam made?

I would caution any person, male or female, against coming to conclusions concerning the roles women play in the economy of God that do not line up with the whole counsel of God.

For instance, when ‘you’ take one portion of Scripture given to one church in the first century and apply that one text to every church throughout all of church history you might want to consider where you are positioned.

Are you like the Sanhedrin who only temporarily took Gamaliel’s advice in Acts 5 – “38 So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God.”

We know from New Testament Scripture and church history the Jewish religious leaders found themselves fighting against God and it appears the modern Pharisees are making the same mistakes their forefathers made!

Help Lord!

Receive and steward God’s passion, power, presence, priority, process, promises, protection, provision, pruning, purging, purity and purpose!
