| Publisher Description: ASSAULTS AGAINST BIBLICAL TEACHING ANSWERED: With so much confusion being spread through feminism, humanism, denominationalism, and even misguided individuals in the Lord's church, it is hoped that the research represented in this book will help to deal with the assaults made against the distinctive roles God has designed for males and females in the worship and work of the church. The following are examples of false arguments named and refuted: First false argument: Junia was identified by Paul as an apostle. Second false argument: Phebe is believed to have held the office of a deacon in the church at Cenchrea since she was highly commended to the church at Rome by Paul (Romans 16:1-2). Third false argument: An argument is made from the use of Deborah in the Old Testament. Why did God make Deborah a judge in Israel (Judges 4:4-5) if this does not justify having women preachers today? Fourth false argument: What about the daughters of Philip, if this example does not justify having women preachers today? Fifth false argument: What about Acts 2:17-18? Both men and women were to prophecy. Does not this authorize having women preachers today? Sixth false argument: In seeking to establish the false position that women were in leadership roles in the church in the first century comes this misguided statement: "In almost every instance, the Greek text lists Priscilla first, which is highly unusual in the culture of the ancient world, and which most likely suggests that of the two, Priscilla was the more prominent." Can you explain why this statement does not establish authority to have female preachers today? Seventh false argument: There were women elders in the first century church. Can you answer these modern day false arguments? No? Then you will benefit by reading Women's Role In The Church. Questions are included at the end of each section. Use as class material. |
