ìStill another factor that [Pastor] Huber mentioned was simply
that ësome men are personally uncomfortable with women in
authority.íî 7There are many women that hold unscriptural places of authority within modern
Christendom. On the ever-popular Trinity Broadcasting Network, Juanita Bynum is
actually called apostle. Using scriptures such as:
ìThere 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.î Galatians 3:28
ìYea, all of you be subject one to anotherÖî 1 Peter 5:5b
There are those that believe the Church needs to progress in its attitude towards
women operating in the roles of authority. But like so many within Christianity, they
pick and chose which scriptures they want to adhere to and disregard the rest. In
reference to Galatians 3:28, the Apostle Paul was pointing out that it was no
longer physical heritage that opened the way to the LORD, nor was the gospel
gender specific. Eternal Life was available to everybody ñ God is not a respecter
of persons.
ìThen Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive
that God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that
feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.î
Acts 10:34-35
But if you read the scriptures leading up to 1 Peter 5:5, you will see that the
apostle was also laying out the government and hierarchy of the Church.
Jesus never called a woman as an apostle, and in his letter to Timothy, as
already pointed out, elders were men appointed to lead the church. If women were
supposed to be leaders, why donít the scriptures also state ìLet the bishop be the
wife of one husbandî?
