There's no lack of clarity with regard to what the Bible says about women who preach. And the mission, the mission requires that I come out of this trance.

00:10

Out of both Sheikah and Messiah. The mission requires that I come out of this trance.

00:18

But in spite of the clarity of Scripture, this has become a monstrous issue in our day.

00:24

Night is a historic night. We're going to ordain our first three women pastors as a

00:31

Saddleback pastor I will protect the unity of our church

00:39

One divine statement answers the question what does the Bible say about women preachers and God is not looking for perfection

00:48

Cuz if he was he wouldn't have picked us He wouldn't have picked me and he wouldn't have picked you he's looking for potential

00:56

He is perfectly Okay with the space between who you are right now in this moment and who you're going to become

01:06

Because he sees the fighter in you. It's in verse 35 the last part of the verse

01:11

It is improper for a woman to speak in church. He can cause your finances to go further

01:17

He can cause things to happen that you've never even thought to happen If you'll do your part and that is have this acceleration mindset be determined I'm not going to focus on the intrusion

01:30

I'm not going to focus on the fact that I feel like my seeds get eaten. That's not ambiguous

01:35

That's not at all unclear. It is improper for a woman to speak in church. That is an absolute prohibition

01:43

Feminism is an extremely powerful force in our society that has taken over both countless churches and the entire culture as a whole

01:51

For example, listen to a clip from Taylor Swift song the man

02:04

But I think it's safe to say that if Taylor Swift were indeed a man She would not be the pop superstar that she is today

02:11

Taylor is simply repeating talking points that simply are not true in our modern culture today

02:17

And here is Megan Rapinoe from the US women's soccer team Talking about how unfair it is that women's soccer players are being paid less than male soccer players

02:27

We've filled stadiums. We've broken viewing records and yet despite all of this.

02:32

We're still Paid less than our male counterparts if it can happen to me with the brightest light shining on us at all times

02:40

It can and it does happen to every person who is marginalized by gender

02:45

But there is a very easy explanation for this commenters under this video said this

02:52

Men's World Cup generates six point one billion dollars in revenue teams get seven percent of that revenue while women's generates 131 million dollars and teams get 23 % there's no such thing as equal pay in soccer or sport in general for that matter

03:11

The Men's World Cup is the largest sporting event in the world The revenues that it attracts dwarfs the

03:17

Women's World Cup and how many of the US national team play in Europe? Christian Pulisic is on $200 ,000 a week playing for Chelsea.

03:27

It's a talent gap not a pay gap Nobody wants to pay to watch somebody kick a ball at the same level as a high schooler

03:35

And interestingly the US women's soccer team actually lost against a team of 15 year old teenagers now

03:42

I know the US national team is really successful. They've done really well, but you did lose to 15 year old teenage boys

03:47

Let's not forget that. There's no top male national team that would lose 15 year old boys Also feminist ideology continues to destroy movie after movie in Hollywood One of the latest examples of this is the new

03:59

Indiana Jones the dial of destiny movie Which is set to lose a lot of money

04:05

Partly because viewers cannot stand the feminist main character played by Phoebe Waller -Bridge

04:10

Because film you're really scaling new heights of imagination when it comes to legacy male characters, aren't you?

04:16

All we need now is for some plucky young female character to come into his life and show him the way and listen to the main actress of the upcoming

04:22

Snow White remake talk about completely ignoring the main storyline of the original

04:27

Snow White movie for the sake of female empowerment You said you were bringing a modern edge to it on stage.

04:34

What do you mean by that? I just mean that it's no longer 1937 and we absolutely wrote a

04:39

Snow White that is Saved by the prince and she's not gonna be dreaming about true love.

04:46

She's dreaming about becoming the leader She knows she can be and the leader that her late father told her that she could be if she was fearless fair brave and True and so it's just a really incredible story for I think young people everywhere to see themselves in know why it is running for president launching my campaign

05:02

The point of all of this is that there is immense pressure from the culture for the church to cave to feminist ideologies and Indeed countless churches are not willing to stand firm upon the clear teachings of Scripture and fight against what the culture wants from them 50 % of women enrolled in seminaries 50 % of I should say

05:23

MDiv students in seminaries are women preparing for pastoral ministry 25 % of seminary faculties are women.

05:30

That means you have women faculty members teaching women students to be pastors 11 % of seminary presidents are women 27 % of pastors across this country are women.

05:42

This is an explosion in 1962 % of clergy were women the women's movement has basically just erupted in the church and the last frontier for the movement is

05:53

The Evangelical Church the last frontier to fall victim to the rebellion of feminism This is particularly shocking considering how clear scripture is on the subject of God creating men and women to have different roles within the church and family and My wife is not gonna let me like go home if I don't ask this question because she can't ask it

06:13

You can answer it after this. She just wanted to know why why women are not allowed to to preach in the church

06:20

And if a woman feels that she has the gift of preaching why why isn't she allowed first Timothy chapter 2 in verse 12

06:28

I do not prevent a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man rather She is to remain quiet.

06:34

So because the Bible says so and that's it The other thing is well, what if a person feels like they have gifts to do that?

06:42

let's pause for a moment here and note that this is the exact argument that Joyce Meyer makes for why she

06:48

Unashamedly and unapologetically teaches men in her ministry. I totally when I started it

06:54

I wasn't even cognizant of the fact that women didn't normally do that I mean I was just so caught up and you know

06:59

I always teasing I say I didn't know women couldn't teach till people started telling me That they couldn't write and so in this church that we were going to they felt like that I wasn't supposed to be teaching that Dave should be

07:12

Teaching I remember going out of the church one Sunday and the pastor looking at Dave and he said Brother you should be teaching that Bible study.

07:19

Not your wife at the same time him saying it. I'm I'm thinking You know that you know, why did

07:26

God not give me the gift? Why did he give it to her? But the obvious answer is that just because someone feels called to do something does not mean that it is right for that person to do that thing as Christians we need to submit to what the

07:39

Bible teaches not what we want the Bible to teach No one gets to do everything they feel like they're gifted at No one does

07:49

What if a man who has? several wives Feels like he's gifted to be a pastor.

07:56

The Bible says he must be the husband of one wife, right? So just because you feel like you're gifted to do something that doesn't give you the right to overthrow biblical qualifications the office of the elder

08:08

Paul says, you know when he's talking about the elder, he must be the husband of one wife.

08:14

He's talking about man Okay, that office is exclusively for men That's the office of the pastor teacher

08:21

So if the office is exclusively for men and the Bible is very clear that women are not to teach or exercise authority over men

08:28

There's absolutely no room For women to be in that office or to exercise that authority

08:34

We have already said that there is immense pressure from the culture upon the church to compromise concerning scriptures clear teachings concerning the different roles of men and women a very clear example of this is what these women said to Vodie Bauckham when he was invited on to CNN for the first and Only time and quite frankly feminism has gained a foothold in many evangelical churches

08:58

Do you think that's a good thing? No, I don't not at all Well because we're about the gospel the culture doesn't dictate truth the gospel dictates truth

09:06

My job is not to be a political pundit or political activist My job is to be a pastor and proclaim the truth of the gospel as clearly as I possibly can

09:14

Well, wait a minute. What about the Old Testament and the Prophet Deborah? I mean, she was a political leader. She was a wife

09:20

She was a mother. She was one of the the biggest forces in the book of Judges. So that's the gospel right there

09:25

She sure she certainly was and the fact that something happened doesn't mean that it's normative for the church in Isaiah chapter 3

09:32

For example, one of the signs that a culture is under judgment is that women are in leadership in their nations?

09:39

So Deborah was actually assigned that things were very bad in Israel. Not a norm for the church

09:45

Sexist or is it just me I Would have to say the reverend is sounding a little questionable there it might be easy to think that the people who oppose scriptures teachings concerning the role of women in the church are mostly non -christians and Radically progressive

10:01

Christians, but that is simply not the case in the face of that It might be shocking to you to know this but in a survey conducted in 2017 about 80 % of Americans are comfortable with a female pastor 62 % of Practicing Christians are open to women pastors 40 % of evangelicals are

10:21

Fine with women pastor We have already seen in the introduction of this video with some of the largest mega churches in the country fully embrace

10:29

Allowing women to be pastors and to preach in front of entire congregations Chelsea Smith is one of the pastors at church home the church that Justin Bieber is said to attend

10:39

It's not really surprising that someone who is willing to compromise about what scripture teaches about the role of women in the church

10:46

Is also willing to compromise about other things also that scripture is very clear about Take a look at the shocking thing.

10:53

Chelsea says in this clip. I have so much empathy and Understanding for followers of Jesus who would say

11:00

I believe that life begins at conception And I believe that stopping an abortion is saving a life

11:06

That's a very saving a life is a very valid cause But that's not the only life that we're called to save if you're pro -life

11:14

Wow There's a lot of life Did we really just hear Chelsea say that she has empathy for Christians who say that life begins at conception?

11:22

Which suggests that she herself does not believe this This is very shocking language from someone who not only calls herself a

11:29

Christian, but even a Christian pastor We see something very similar from one of the largest megachurch pastors in the country

11:37

Andy Stanley who is also compromised concerning men and women having different roles in the church and family.

11:43

This is a game -changer Here's what Paul said before he told wives submit to their husbands. Here's the verse that sets the tone for everything that follows

11:52

Here's our verb Submit to one another out of and there it is again every time the

11:57

Apostle Paul tells us to do something He points us back to Jesus. Not the Old Testament. Not the Ten Commandments Jesus as God through Christ has done something extraordinary for you

12:07

You are to demonstrate that same kind of love in your relationships with each other including romantic relationships including

12:15

Marriage you are to submit to one another out of reverence to Christ. In other words the submission guys get ready is

12:22

Mutual Andy Stanley is misinterpreting Ephesians 5 because the interpretation of the phrase be subject to one another

12:29

Is dependent upon all of the context that comes before it verse 21 says and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ Now here's the problem the smallest

12:38

Breakdown of Scripture the smallest division of Scripture is not the verse The Bible wasn't written with chapters and verses the smallest division of Scripture is the paragraph now

12:49

The problem is verse 22 is the beginning of a paragraph But at the beginning of the paragraph you don't have a verb so they borrowed the verb from verse 21

12:58

Small problem verse 21 is the end of a paragraph So if you want to understand the context of verse 22, you got to go all the way back to verse 15

13:07

So that's what we're gonna start in order for you to get this picture and hopefully it will revolutionize your understanding of what we're talking about here today here out how to get straight people as Excited about serving and engaging is the gay men and women.

13:20

I know we would have a volunteer backlog That's my experience in our churches Well, I'm a gay person.

13:27

I'll just read it to you a gay person when I say gay and men and women, okay a Gay person who still wants to attend church

13:35

After the way the church has treated the gay community. I'm telling you they have more faith than I do

13:41

They have more faith than a lot of you enough already with this gay Christian stuff And I don't just say enough already

13:47

I don't mean this in the sense of you know They're over there and I'm over here. I mean this in the pastoral sense.

13:54

How cruel is that? If a man comes to me talking about a desire for a woman who is not his wife

14:03

I'm not going to tell him to just go ahead and embrace the desire because the desire in and of itself is okay

14:10

It's not although feminism purports to lift women up and empower them against abuse and patriarchy the reality is that Feminism is actually harmful to women because it distorts the truth about how

14:23

God designed men and women to complement one another Not to be essentially the exact same thing as one another and we're also a society that hates women now you say

14:34

Yeah, those Male chauvinists they hate women No women hate women the people who hate women more than anybody else on this planet are feminist

14:43

They hate women. They want women to be men. They don't want them to be

14:49

Women and any woman who says I believe that it is my desire to be in my home to raise

14:57

Godly children to support my husband and the endeavors that he has to go through in order to provide for our family

15:04

Any woman who does that is considered a failure in our society? The reason why it is so important to preserve scriptures teachings concerning how

15:13

God designed men and women to have different roles in the church and home Is because this design by God is an illustration of the gospel itself

15:21

And when we eliminate the distinctions in God's design we do harm to the very gospel

15:28

We are trying to proclaim to the world We see in Ephesians chapter 5, for example, that marriage is not just for procreation and also for a sanctification

15:37

It's righteous outlet for human sexual desires But it's also for illustration this beautiful picture of the relationship between Jesus Christ and his bride the church

15:47

Jesus Christ who gives us a picture of what real male headship and marriage is supposed to look like when he lays down his life for his bride when he takes upon himself the sins of his people and suffers the punishment due to their sins

16:06

So that their righteousness being imputed or their sinfulness being imputed to him

16:11

His righteousness can be imputed to them so that in this double imputation He can atone for their sins and save them from their sins and grant them entree

16:23

Into eternity with the triune God and his perfect unity

16:28

Christ died for sin Once for all but just for the unjust in order that he may bring us back to God God made him who knew no sin to be sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in him

16:40

This is what marriage is a picture of which means that when we go to war against Genesis 2

16:47

We go to war against the gospel. Thank you so much for watching. If you like these videos I want to help support this channel
