It offends me when fellow Christians judge someone's heart, faith and relationship with the Lord ...based soley on their hairstyle and gender. (which is what the whole point of this thread USED to be.)

Yes, there's something very wrong when people believe the scriptures say women are not allowed to teach. The angels appeared first to the women who came to Jesus' tomb and told them He isn't there, for them to "go and tell." Then Jesus later appeared Himself first to the women and told them also "go and tell" the disciples where to meet Him. If women weren't supposed to "go and tell" anyone something spiritual, why would the angels and Jesus be telling them, "go and tell" about the good news, of Christ's resurrection?

Luke 2:36-38 a Prophetess named Anna does a prophetess remain silent? There are way too many scriptures that show women can be effective witnesses and yes as ministers to others even inside the church where Anna was.

Personally... I think the whole matter has been taken out of context. :)
