God's Word teaches women to be subject to their husbands and not have authority over the men in the body of Christ. Sadly feminism has crept in and is teaching otherwise.

1. WOMEN PASTORS ARE UNBIBLICAL
God’s Word teaches that godly women are not to be pastors, elders, deacons (etc),
have no authority, nor be teachers over the men in the body. The requirements for
these positions are listed in Titus 1 and 1 Timothy 3.
God’s Word says an elder is to be a man (husband) in verse 6. (Titus 1)
Titus 1:5-9 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the
things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not
accused of riot or unruly. 7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of
God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to
filthy lucre; 8 But a lover of hospitality, a lover of good men, sober, just, holy,
temperate; 9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be
able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers.
Again, in verse 2 (1 Timothy 3) we see that a bishop (overseer) is to be a man
(husband) and verses 11 and 12 show that a deacon (minister, pastor, teacher,
servant) is to be a man (husband) as well.
1 Timothy 3:1-13 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he
desireth a good work. 2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one
wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not
given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not
covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection
with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he
take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he
fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of
them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much
wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure
conscience. 10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a
deacon, being found blameless. 11 Even so must their wives be grave, not
slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one
wife, ruling their children and their own houses well. 13 For they that have used
the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great
boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Women are instructed to be silent in the body in reference to teaching and authority
over the men.
1 Timothy 2:12-14 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I
suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in
silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived,
but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
2. The greek word for silence is: hēsuchia
G2271 Feminine of G2272; (as noun) stillness, that is, desistance from bustle or
language: - quietness, silence. description of the life of one who stays at home doing
his own work, and does not officiously meddle with the affairs of others silence,
quietness
From 2272/hēsyxios ("calmly quiet") describes being "appropriately tranquil" by not
misusing (or overusing) words that would stir up needless friction (destructive
commotion).
This does not mean a total absence of speech because the word hēsuchia is also used
in verse :
2 Thessalonians 3 Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord
Jesus Christ, that with quietness (hēsuchia) they work, and eat their own bread.
The greek word silence in verse 1 Corinthians 14 verse 34 is: sigaō
From G4602; to keep silent (transitive or intransitive): - keep close (secret, silence),
hold peace.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not
allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 35 If they want to
inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is
disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.
We see in 1 Corinthians 14:30 (just prior to the women being instructed in silence)
"If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace."
The word sigaō is used for 'hold his peace'.
In context with scripture we see that women are to be silent when it comes to leadership
and authority, to be peaceably quiet while the men are teaching and leading; not asking
questions and being in obedience and subjection to their authority (husbands).
This does not mean women are of lesser importance in the eyes of the Lord as we can
see from Galatians 3:28 where we see God is no respecter of persons as well as 1
Corinthians 11 in which Paul refers to the creation order of men and women. We also
3. see that while our beloved Savior Jesus was here, there were many women that
traveled with Him, learning alongside the men.
Luke 8:1-3 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and
village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the
twelve were with him, 2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits
and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 3 And
Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which
ministered unto him of their substance.
Luke 24: He is not here, but is risen: remember how He spake unto you when He
was yet in Galilee, 7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of
sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 8 And they remembered
His words, 9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the
eleven, and to all the rest. 10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the
mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things
unto the apostles.
God has very important roles for women in that they are the helpers and mates to their
husbands, to bear and raise children in the admonition of the Lord, teaching and helping
other women as well as sharing the good news. Paul greatly praises the works of many
women for their labors inside the body as well as in the world proclaiming the gospel to
the lost (the great commission).
These women: Priscilla, Euodia, Synthyche, Persis, Tryphena, Tryphosa, Junia, Phebe,
Julia, Nereus sister, Mary (and many others) are praised by Paul as being workers,
fellow laborers in the gospel and servants to the church body.
Philippians 4:3 And I intreat thee also, true yokefellow, help those women which
laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and with other my fellow
labourers, whose names are in the book of life.
God’s Word clearly shows that women have very important roles in the body of Christ
BUT that men (only) are to be the leaders as the body is gathered and the women are
to follow, not taking any authoritative roles.

Truth For Christian Ladies
We would like to reach out to you ladies who profess Jesus Christ as
Lord and Savior, who have repented, been born again and are striving
to live obedient lives through His Word, the Bible. We are going to
show you where feminism and the religious organizations have
steered godly women in the wrong direction and our hope is to help
women find biblical godliness in all their conduct. We came out of the
man’s religious system where they never taught these things (or
taught against them) and now we come in love and truth to share
these blessings with other professed sisters of Jesus Christ; those
who are striving to walk worthy: (Colossians 1:10) that you may
walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every
good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.
We do not belong to any organization; we are simply born again
followers of Jesus Christ who seek to follow Him obediently through
His Word. We do not believe that works can save you as salvation is
a free gift to those who repent and believe, but the sanctification
process refines the sin from our lives and creates us a new person
bearing much fruit of the Holy Spirit. We will show you a few areas
that are very important to godly women who are striving to walk in love
and obedience to glorify our Father. First off, if you are not willing to
die to self (Galatians 5:24), deny yourself, pick up your cross and
follow Jesus
(Luke 9:23) or be holy (1 Peter 1:16) then please go back and
examine yourself to see if you are truly in the faith (2 Corinthians
13:5).
SUBMISSION: submit- to give over or yield to the power or authority
of another. As regenerated believers, we are all to submit to God
5. (James 4:7) and as daughters of the most High, we are instructed to
submit to the authority He has placed in our lives; our husbands.
(Ephesians 5:22) Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the
Lord.
(Ephesians 5:24) Therefore, just as the church is subject to
Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.
(Colossians 3:18) Wives, submit to your own husbands, as is
fitting in the Lord.
(1 Peter 3:1, 5) Wives, likewise, be submissive to your own
husbands. For in this manner, in former times, the holy women
who trusted in God also adorned themselves, being submissive
to their own husbands
And if that is not enough admonition, let us not forget:
(Genesis 3:16) Your desire shall be for your husband, and he
shall rule over you (The word ‘rule’ in greek means: dominion,
reign, rule, have power)
Why? (1 Corinthians 11:3) But I want you to know that the head
of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head
of Christ is God.
If godly ladies have submitted to both Jesus Christ and their husbands
then they are to wear a covering. (1 Corinthians 11:6) For if a
woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful
for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. The
Greek work for covered is katakalupto meaning: to cover wholly, that
is, veil: - cover, hide. This is not a cultural issue as Paul says in (1
Corinthians 1:2) To the church of God which is at Corinth, to
those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with
all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord
6. and he also states in (1 Corinthians 11:2) Now I praise you,
brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the
ordinances just as I delivered them to you. (Ordinance means: a
precept; specifically the Jewish traditionary law: - ordinance, tradition.)
Do you realize that the next ordinance/tradition that Paul teaches in
that same chapter is the Lord’s Supper? If we toss out head covering
then we must toss out the Lord’s Supper as well. And let us also look
at verse 10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her
head because of the angels. God still has angels today.
A woman is to cover her glory, vs 7 For a man indeed ought not to
cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God:
but the woman is the glory of the man. Verse 15 says a woman’s
hair is her glory. Only Jesus’ glory (man) is to be uncovered but a
man’s glory (woman) is to be covered and woman’s glory (hair) is to
be covered.
Some will say that her hair is a covering but that is not so as Paul
takes us back to nature and shows us how long hair on a woman vs.
short hair on a man creates an example or illustration of how a woman
should be covered and a man uncovered. The catacombs of the
early Christians show pictures of godly women being covered with
veils and for 1900 years after that inspired teaching from Paul, women
who claimed faith covered their heads. Who determined head
covering should not be obeyed? Feminists and man’s religion.
God’s Word teaches women to dress biblically as well. 1 Timothy 2:9
In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest
apparel
The greek definition for modest is ‘orderly, of good behavior’.
The greek word for ‘apparel’ is katastole.
7. 1. a lowering, letting down (kata) 2. a garment let down, dress,
attire (stole)
Apparel, Apparelled katastole connected with katastello, "to send or
let down, to lower" (kata, "down," stello, "to send"), was primarily a
garment let down; hence, "dress, attire," a loose outer garment worn
by kings and persons of rank,"stole") “katastole” was a free-flowing
dress worn over a stole providing two layers to conceal the form of the
body. This shows us that godly women professing Christ are to wear
long, loose, flowing dresses/garments with a double layer in such a
way as to cover her form.
Isaiah 47:2-3 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy
locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers.
Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen.
We see here that to uncover hair (locks) and show the leg and thigh is
shame and nakedness.
ADORNMENT: (1 Timothy 2:9) In like manner also, that women
adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and
sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.
The bible clearly states that a woman is to adorn herself in orderly,
long, loose flowing, double layered dresses/garments with sobriety
and shamefacedness meaning: (through the idea of downcast eyes);
bashfulness, that is, (towards men), modesty or (towards God) awe: -
reverence, shamefacedness. NOT WITH things that the world uses to
adorn themselves such as beautifying the hair, wearing jewelry or
expensive clothing. Does makeup help us to be godly, shamefaced
and bashful? No. Where we see makeup in the Bible it is referred to
as being used by harlots or the disobedient; not godly women striving
to please our Father. (1 Peter 3:9) Whose adorning let it not be
that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold,
or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the
heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a
meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.
For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who
trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto
8. their own husbands This, ladies, is how we are to adorn ourselves,
from the inside NOT the outside.
(Titus 2:5)To be discreet (self-controlled, sober, temperate), chaste
(innocent, modest, perfect, pure), keepers at home (a guard, a stayer
at home, a “good housekeeper”), good, obedient (be under
obedience, subject oneself to) to their own husbands, that the word
of God be not blasphemed. Today you see most women leaving
their homes to pursue a career or simply get out of the house; leaving
their children to be raised by others or sent off to the secular ungodly
school system and therefore not fulfilling the role God intended as a
help mate to their husbands, or keepers at home; raising their own
children.
(Genesis 2:18)
Women have bought into the lie (sin) of feminism in that they don’t
need to follow God’s Word in these areas and instead they have
stepped into what the bible would describe as being disobedient,
looking like a harlot or acting like an adulterous woman- loving the
things of this world rather than the things of God. These are not minor
or insignificant issues, these are instructions for those who (Mark
12:30) love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength
(Romans 12:1) I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies
of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Will you follow our beloved Savior in spirit and TRUTH (John 4:24) or
will you continue to follow man-made false religion and feminist lies?
Please pray, speak to your husband and contact us if we can help you
(Proverbs 14:12) There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of death.
