Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

I know this is going to come as a shock to so many of my sanctimonious evangelical brothers and you foreign ministers (ministers that has gotten so far away from the principles of God) but my Father in Heaven did not leave you in charge when He called my Savior Jesus Christ Home. God gave that position to the Holy Spirit. You don’t have the moral authority or the legal santification from Heaven to make judgemental on the conduct of God’s chosen leaders, on who or how they operate in God’s House.

You are not recognized or accepted by God as keeper of the pulpit, so you do not decide who can preach God’s Word or lead God’s People. God never restricted preaching or teaching His Word to just the male gender only. If God did not want women to preach His Word He would not have given them the calling.

Many across the country have already promoted themselves to a position well beyond their spiritual pay grade and qualifications. Jesus hand picked twelve to teach and be in His enter circle. Those were His twelve Apostles hand picked, you are not one of them.

How hypocritical, when you say women are not qualified to preach or hold the position of pastor of God’s church when you promote yourself to a spiritual title that you are not qualified for.

You want to remind me of 1 Timothy 1: 11-12, let me explain that. Verse (11) refers to the fact that men and women did not sit together in church in the early days and when a woman did not understand she would ask her husband, this was disrupting the church, women were asked to be silent in church. Verse (12) mean that if a male teacher is more qualified, he should take the lead, otherwise the woman can do so, but to be in silence regarding teaching unless there is no qualified man. So please not trying to restrict the pulpit to men only!
