actually, it is. the problem is one who will refuse to see in the Old Testament as in the New Testament women held offices like Prophet and Judge. And also Prophesied by the prophet Joel that the Spirit of God would be poured out on women too for what reason? . In the New Testament, we see it. Women prophesied, instructed, and taught the word of God. that is in the Bible, not what I am saying it is what is right in both Old and New as normative and not descriptive.
Joel 2, the Book of Acts, and in the body of Christ as we read in 1cor chapter 11. Janice was one who was sent i.e. an apostle "a" not an "A" Apostle. You are in the four-fold ministry which is apostles, prophets, evangelists, and Pastors. The teacher was added later.
yeah I understand your argument I just disagree it’s okay. No ones bound for hell or anything because we don’t agree there on that.
the apostles were chosen and appointed and enabled of God as are prophets teachers ect agreed . Women receive the Holy Spirit just as men and have roles in the church just like men agreed
there are more tHan the twelve specific apostles of Jesus Christ than he chose in scripture I disagree I believe there are the twelve chosen by Jesus. Which thier witness makes up the New Testament scripture.
“I have manifested thy name unto
the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and
they have kept thy word. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
And now I am no more in the world, but
these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name:
those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us:
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.”
John 17:6, 8, 11-12, 14, 17-18, 20-
There are twelve men Jesus chose to be his apostles as avid sent him into the world , he sent them into the world. Who had his revelation and understanding learning from him , and preaching to the world his message
12 men traveled with him , he taught them thkngs he didn’t teach others have then authority he didn’t give others then appointed them to a mission he didn’t give others and a glory he didn’t give anyone else
“And the wall of the city had
twelve foundations, and in them
the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.”
Revelation 21:14 KJV
Judas was cut out and Paul was grafted in by Jesus Paul also saw Jesus risen and glorified and was called to be his vessel And witness of the gospel of the kingdom to all People Jew and gentile.
those same apostles witness is written in scripture so anytime we open a Bible even today anywhere in the world we can read a true witness of Jesus and the gospel
my own personal opinion is that there are twelve apostles when we get to eternal life in the kingdom there’s going to be twelve names of Jesus apostles on the foundation of the kingdom wall
I bet it’s gonna be the same twelve apostles Jesus chose on earth including Paul but that’s just my own belief isn’t that important
