I BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE FEW, IF ANY, MEN THAT THINK MORE HIGHLY OF CHRISTIAN WOMEN THAN I DO. BUT MEN OFTEN SEE THE SAME SUBJECT IN DIFFERENT LIGHT. THEREFORE, I HOPE THAT THE WOMEN WILL NOT THINK ME DISRESPECTFUL, AS I REASON WITH MY CHRISTIAN BRETHREN ON THIS SUBJECT. SHOULD WOMEN BE ORDAINED AS PASTORS, OR EVANGELIST, OF CHRISTIAN CHURCHES? IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THEY SHOULD NOT. WHO, OR WHAT, DETERMINES WHAT IS GOOD, AND WHAT IS EVIL? WHAT GOD SAYS TO DO IS GOOD, AND WHAT GOD SAYS NOT TO DO IS EVIL. I BELEVE THAT THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ARE THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST, THEY ARE GOD'S WORDS WRITTEN DOWN. WE ARE TO SHAPE OUR LIVES BY THE WORD OF GOD, ESPECIALLY THE NEW TESTAMENT. BECAUSE IT IS BY THE NEW TESTAMENT THAT WE SHALL RECEIVE OUR INHERITANCE. IF A MAN MAKES TWO WILLS, AND THEN DIES. IT IS ONLY THE LAST WILL, AND TESTAMENT THAT IS VALID. THEREFORE SINCE THE DEATH OF CHRIST JESUS THE NEW TESTAMENT IS IN FORCE. REMEMBER THIS HOLY CHILDREN, NO FLESH SHALL BE JUSTIFIED, PUT IN RIGHT STANDING WITH GOD, BY THE OLD TESTAMENT.

2Tm:3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2Tm:3:17: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

SHOULD WOMEN BE ORDAINED AS PASTORS, AND EVANGELIST, OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES. IT IS MY BELIEF THEY SHOULD NOT, I BASE MY OPINION ON THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE THAT THE APOSTLE PAUL WAS INSPIRED OF GOD TO RECORD. READING FROM THE EPISTLE THAT THE APOSTLE PAUL WROTE TO TIMOTHY.

1Tm: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;

1Tm:2:10: But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

1Tm:2:11: Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1Tm:2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1Tm:2:13: For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

1Tm:2:14: And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1Tm:2:15: Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. (KJV)

AND ALSO THESE VERSES RECORDED IN

1Cor:14:34: 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.

1Cor:14:35: 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.

1Cor:14:36: What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?

1Cor:14:37: If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

SAINTS OF GOD, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SAY MEN, AND WOMEN ARE EQUAL, BUT MEN, AND WOMEN WILL NEVER BE EQUAL. IN ORDER FOR ANY TWO THINGS TO BE EQUAL THEY MUST BE IDENTICAL. AND, MEN, AND WOMEN ARE CERTAINLY NOT IDENTICAL. FROM THE VERY BEGINNING GOD GAVE MAN DOMINION OVER ALL THE CREATURES THAT DWELL UPON THE EARTH.

Gn:1:26: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

CHILDREN OF GOD, GOD CHOSE TO CREATE MAN FIRST. BY BIRTHRIGHT MEN SHOULD TEACH.

1Tm:2:11: Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1Tm:2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1Tm:2:13: For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF BIRTHRIGHT ARE MEN TO TEACH, BUT BECAUSE EVE WAS DECEIVED, BY THE OLD SERPENT THE DEVIL, AND TRANSGRESSED GOD'S COMMANDMENT. ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED BY THE SERPENT. WHEN ADAM ATE OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT, HE KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE. LET ME READ TO YOU PROBABLY THE GREATEST TRAGEDY THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED TO MANKIND.

Gn:3:1: Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Gn:3:2: And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

Gn:3:3: But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

Gn:3:4: And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

Gn:3:5: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

Gn:3:6: And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Gn:3:7: And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

BELOVED OF GOD, THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF EVE AS LUSTING AFTER THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD, AND EVIL.

2Pt:1:4: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

NOW CONCERNING THE FACT THAT ADAM WAS NOT DECEIVED, WHEN HE ATE OF THE FRUIT OF THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE. ADAM KNEW THAT HE WAS GOING TO DIE.

1Tm:2:13: For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

1Tm:2:14: And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1Tm:2:15: Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

LISTEN CAREFULLY, BELOVED OF GOD, HOW COULD A WOMAN BE A PASTOR OF A CHRISTIAN CHURCH, AND BE OBEDIENT TO THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD? HOW COULD A WOMAN BE A PASTOR OF A CHURCH, AND BE SILENCE IN THE CHURCH. HOW COULD THEY BE A PASTOR OF A CHURCH, AND NOT USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MEN OF THE CHURCH. HOW COULD A WOMAN BE A PASTOR OF A CHURCH, AND NOT TEACH MEN. IS IT NOT THE DUTY OF A PASTOR TO LEAD THEIR FLOCK, AND TEACH THEM THE LAWS OF GOD? IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A WOMAN TO REBEL AGAINST THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND PASTOR A CHRISTIAN CHURCH? YES, IT IS DONE IN SOME DENOMINATIONS. BUT, IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A WOMAN THAT IS A PASTOR TO WIN THOUSANDS OF SOULS TO CHRIST, AND HERSELF NOT BE CROWNED WITH THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS? THE APOSTLE PAUL WROTE THESE WORDS TO TIMOTHY.

2Tm:2:5: And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. (KJV)

SAINTS OF GOD, IF YOU ARE A NEW CONVERT TO THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION, YOU MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH WHAT SIN ACTUALLY IS. SIN IS A TRANSGRESSION OF THE LAW OF GOD. WHATSOEVER GOD COMMANDS YOU TO DO; DO IT. AND LIVE AT PEACE WITH GOD. WHATSOEVER GOD COMMANDS YOU NOT TO DO. DO NOT DO IT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. LET ME GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE OF THE POWER OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. HE CREATED THE SUN, AND THE MOON, AND THE STARS, AND PLACED THEM IN SPACE IN ONE DAY. HE CREATED ADAM, AND PLACED WITHIN HIM ALL MANKIND IN ONE DAY. WHAT IS LAW? LAWS ARE RULES OF CONDUCT SAT FORTH BY AUTHORITY. WHAT IS AUTHORITY? AUTHORITY IS ONE THAT HAS THE POWER TO GIVE COMMANDS, DEMAND OBEDIENCE, AND PUNISH THE TRANSGRESSORS. GOD HAS COMMANDED THE WOMAN IN THIS PRESENT WORLD TO BE SILENCE IN THE CHURCHES AND FOR WOMEN NOT TO TEACH THE MEN OF THE CHURCH, AND NOT TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MEN OF THE CHURCH. TO FEAR GOD IS THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM. WE ARE NOT TO FEAR WHAT MAN CAN DO TO US, BUT WE ARE TO FEAR GOD. MAN CAN ONLY KILL THE BODY. BUT GOD CAN KILL THE BODY, AND CAST THE SOUL INTO HELL. IN THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE, JESUS IS SPEAKING TO HIS DISCIPLES, AND HE SAYS.

Mt:10:27: What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

Mt:10:28: And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (KJV)

LISTEN CAREFULLY, HOLY CHILDREN, THE HUMAN BODY IS A TRINITY IN UNITY. IT HAS A BODY OF FLESH, AND BLOOD, WHICH CAN BE SEEN, IT HAS A INWARD MAN THE SOUL, THAT CANNOT BE SEEN, AND IT HAS A SPIRIT. THE BODY CAN DIE, AND THE SOUL LIVE ON. OR THE SOUL CAN DIE, AND THE BODY LIVE ON. WHEN THE SPIRIT LEAVES THE BODY, THE BODY IS DEAD. THIS OUTWARD BODY OF FLESH, AND BLOOD SHALL PERISH; IT IS THE INWARD MAN THE SOUL THAT SHALL LIVE IN ETERNITY.

2Cor:4:16: For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD ARE NOT GRIEVOUS. FOR EXAMPLE GOD COMMANDS A MAN NOT TO PRAY WITH HIS HEAD COVERED. BUT MULTITUDES OF MEN PRAY WITH THEIR HEADS COVERED. GOD COMMANDS WOMEN TO COVER THEIR HEAD WHEN THEY PRAY, BUT MULTITUDES OF WOMEN WILL NOT COVER THEIR HEADS WHEN THEY PRAY. THE FALL OF MAN WAS A TERRIBLE THING. MULTITUDES, MULTITUDES, OF PEOPLE HAVE DIED, OR BEEN KILLED, AND THEIR SOULS FED TO THE FLAMES OF HELL.

Is:24:5: The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.

Is:24:6: Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.

IF A MAN, WOMAN, OR CHILD, DOES AS CHRIST JESUS SAYS; THEY HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. BUT IF THEY DO NOT DO AS CHRIST SAYS. THEY CERTAINLY CANNOT HOPE FOR GOOD. TO THE GOOD GOD IS GOOD, BUT TO THE WICKED GOD IS SEVER.

Rom:11:22: Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. (KJV)

CHILDREN OF LIGHT, I HAVE SAID WOMEN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PASTOR A CHRISTIAN CHURCH, BECAUSE ADAM WAS FIRST FORMED, AND THEN EVE. I BELIEVE THAT MEN SHOULD TEACH BY BIRTHRIGHT. I HAVE SAID THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE WOMEN SHOULD PASTOR IN A CHRISTIAN CHURCH BECAUSE THAT THE WOMAN EVE WAS DECEIVED, BUT THE MAN, ADAM, WAS NOT DECEIVED. I HAVE ALSO SAID THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT WOMEN SHOULD PASTOR IN A CHRISTIAN CHURCH BECAUSE THEY ARE COMMANDED TO BE SILENCE IN THE CHURCH. FURTHERMORE, I BELIEVE THAT WOMEN SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO PASTOR IN A CHRISTIAN CHURCH, BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT TO USURP AUTHORITY OVER THE MEN. I BASE MY OPINION FOR MY BELIEF ON THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE.

1Tm:2:11: Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

1Tm:2:12: But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

1Tm:2:13: For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

1Tm:2:14: And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

1Tm:2:15: Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. (KJV)

LISTEN CAREFULLY, MEN ARE CALLED INTO THE MINISTRY. NO MAN SHOULD TAKE THIS HONOR UPON HIMSELF WITHOUT THE CALL OF GOD. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT GOD WOULD CALL A WOMEN INTO THE MINISTRY, BECAUSE GOD HAS COMMANDED HER TO BE SILENCE IN THE CHURCH, AND NOT USURP AUTHORITY OVER MEN, AND NOT TO TEACH MEN. AS GOD CALLED AARON INTO THE MINISTRY, HE CALLS MEN TODAY.

Heb:5:1: For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Heb:5:4: And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

Heb:5:5: So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee. Heb:5:6: As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec

CHILDREN OF LIGHT COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, IT IS ONE THING FOR A PERSON TO COMMIT A SIN IN IGNORANCE, BUT A PERSON MUST BE VERY CAREFULL NOT TO COMMIT A WILFULL SIN. FOR IF A PERSON COMMITS A WILFULL SIN AFTER THEY HAVE COME INTO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH THERE REMAINS NO MORE SACRIFICE FOR SIN. WHY? THREE REASONS, FIRST, THEY TROD UNDER FOOT THE SON OF GOD, SECONDLY, THEY COUNT THE BLOOD OF THE COVENANT AN UNHOLY THING, THIRDLY THEY DO DESPITE UNTO THE SPIRIT OF GRACE.

Heb:10:26: For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Heb:10:27: But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Heb:10:28: He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:

Heb:10:29: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?

Heb:10:30: For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

Heb:10:31: It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

HOLY CHILDREN, LET ME CONCLUDE WITH THIS THOUGHT, AS SATAN USED THE SERPENT IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN, HE NOW USES THE FALSE PROPHET, THE FALSE EVANGELIST, THE FALSE TEACHER.
