It might be ok but Im not at all sure that women should be mothers

You should submit this question you ask to "ask the imam". /sarcasm
In the book of acts there were women preaching the good news.
It depends on the setting - but clearly there is a time and place where it is appropriate or we wouldn't see it in scripture.
IMO, no.
No as far as being the Pastor. O:K for Sunday School as that is not being the Preacher or Pastor or Shepherd.
If ladies were not allowed to teach in a church..... the church would close very soon because they compromise the majority of teachers in churches.
Quoth Judges 4-4 and 4-5...
" Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
And she sat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment."
No
Is this an overt invitation for another TULIP dogpile?
1. Women, don't interrupt the service calling to hubby over on the men's side to explain what's being said. Disruptive.
2. In Christ, there's neither Jew nor Greek; male nor female . . .
3. Kathryn Kuhlman did a great job but always felt it was a man's role except that no men of sufficient dedication and sacrifice would step up to the plate so God used a woman.
4. Women were used of God as leaders throughout the Old Testament and in spots in the New Testament.
5. I think it takes a rare woman to do it properly and under the leadership and anointing of Holy Spirit.
6. I think Joyce Meyers does a great job. Men humble enough to listen to her with attentive, God-submitted hearts will learn many things edifying them Biblically and buliding up their relationship with God and others in Spirit-led ways.
7. Some women ought not lead a pack of dogs as some men ought not be in charge of a pack of rabid rats. Arrogance, pride, insecurity, grandstanding etc. are poor reasons for anyone to be leading any other humans. Yet we often find such in the church on the men's side and too often with pontificating women, too.
8. I'm happy to listen to anyone who can strengthen my hand in The Lord.
9. Men are anemic spiritually. Let them take responsibility. Let them sacrificie the hours in prayer and study. Let them step up to the plate. Counter the feminization of American Churches with true manly spiritual leadership with the sensitivity of Jesus and the masculinity and power of Jesus and His Spirit all at the same time.
10. Women can be great at teaching content and relating it to personal life experiences in humble ways. Some rare men can. Too many men tend to be far too autoritarian instead of anointed and authoritative. Some women tend to be too brazenly bossy, haughty and . . . wellllll with a chip on their shoulders, too--not unlike Windy McKinney. But there's more than an abundance of men the same way. I think the Kingdom is poorly served by either sex in such attitudes and spirits.
11. God can use donkeys and has. God has used many heathen to teach me true spiritual truths through vivid object lessons. I suppose, because spiritual people were not available or maybe I was hard hearing at that time.
12. I'm eager to learn anything from someone who's walking consistently closer to God than I am in any area.
Scripture makes it clear that men are to be the primary teachers in the church. I don't know why it is that way except it must have something to do with the men being the leaders Scripturally.
But, you can take it too far.
I do not think there is anything unbiblical with a woman teaching Sunday School unless it is an all-adult male class or something.
Scripture is the Teacher- all the rest is babble.
Fine by me. I can't believe this is something people are actually talking about.
Women are to keep silent in church. But if it's not in church and a man thinks a woman might know something about the scripture and he asks her, that would be fine.
The bottom line is that there are different denominations with different beliefs. Given that the constitution points out that Americans have a right to free exercise of religion, then those denominations that prevent women from teaching men should be allowed to do so. In their cases, women should not teach scripture to men.
They should leave for a different denomination.
It has been my experience when exposed to women "pastors" that they don't teach the scripture to anyone. Women are go along to get along generally in their mentality, not suprisingly since cooperation and relationships tend to be genetically wired into their makeups.
Last one I had the misfortune of being exposed to would read the scripture by inserting He/She whenever the scripture said HE and Him/Her whenever the scripture said him, and boy/girl whenever the scripture said boy... Even in instances when doing so made absolutely no sense (IE the scripture reading was a first person account... A letter from Paul to someone.. The Scripture read, when "I was a boy" she literally would read this as "When I was a boy or girl"... Which of course makes no damnedable sense, as Paul was male and never was or will ever be a girl.
I suppose there may be a woman or two out there somewhere who can teach gospel and scripture, but the majority that are doing it that I have been exposed to, while kind hearted enough folk and having generally good intentions, are just not up the task IMHO. They are activists more than theologians.
No, the Baptist Sunday School classes I've been in where women have come in and taught have gone downhill. The men shut up, and eventually quit coming and it ends up being run by all women.
