Women Pastors =Jezebel (Revelation 2:20)

I first took serious notice of how feminism also called egalitarianism Has invaded the Congregations, this started in the later 1980s.

Passages such as 1 Timothy 3:1, “if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do” and Titus 1:6, “an elder must be blameless, faithful to his wife,” are clear that men are the biblically qualified not only to fulfill but also to aspire to the office of pastor/elder/overseer. Concerning women in the gathering of the congregation, 1 Corinthians 14:34 confirms “women should remain silent in the congregations”.

The people I encounter who dispute these verses in order to make a case for female pastors do so using irrelevant texts not relating to the way God has ordered His congregation. Whether it is Miriam, Deborah, Priscilla, Phoebe, or Mary Magdalene, none of these women fulfilled the role of pastor and none of the passages that speak of these women concern themselves with the order and function of the local synagogue or house assembly. Others will point to passages such as Ephesians 4:11-13 or 1 Corinthians 11:5, but those passages likewise do not pertain to the gathering of the congregation.

Since the Bible speaks clearly on this subject, why the vigorous debates? I believe it goes back to Genesis 3. The serpent (Satan) asked Eve, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” to which Eve confirmed that yes, God really did say this and not only did God say it, but if Adam or Even disobeyed by eating or touching the fruit that their consequence would be death. Then the serpent proclaimed, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” We see two tactics used here by Satan and it is the same two tactics I see used by those who defend female pastors. The first tactic is to doubt what God’s word says, the second is to doubt that He meant it.

The Congregation of Thyatira – the Apostate Congregation. This Congregation was growing in faith, love, service, and perseverance. Their deeds were better than when they started. They did everything right except one thing. Their sin was they allowed Jezebel to teach and lead the saints astray into rebellion and disobedience to the clear teaching of scripture.

Apocalypse of John / Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice out of the heaven, saying, 'Come forth out of her, My people, that ye may not partake with her sins, and that ye may not receive of her plagues,
