We all agree - hopefully - that women should not be officers in the church. Next question: can women teach men at other functions?
For example, Joni Erickson Tada spoke at Ligonier. Albert Martin, RC Sproul, John McArthur seemed to have no problem with that. Kay Arthur also has. Can a women speak at a conferecne and be encouraging from God's word. Does that pose a problem with 1 Tim. 2 or Titus' instructions about women?
Pastors - what do you think of this? Its an important question a friend asked.
I said I would say it is wrong based on the reality that women were teaching men.
And what of this?
Acts 18:26, "So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Aquila and Priscilla heard him, [b:fbb3f228ce]they[/b:fbb3f228ce] took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately."
Let me enlarge the question: I want to go to Peru to teach the pastors there about God and His attributes. I [b:fbb3f228ce]JUST[/b:fbb3f228ce] found out that the man in control of the conferecne is having his wife speak twice out of 12 sessions to the pastors.
(Josh - this is something to think about in terms of being able to support that conferecne.)
Would you say this is wrong - speaking to pastors in a "non-church" setting?
Why or why not?
