May mga sekta ng relihiyon na nagsasabing hinde dapat mangaral ang mga babae. Sa amin po sa MCGI e ang bawal e ang mamuno at magturo ang babae sa panahong meron namang lalake na pwedeng mamuno at magturo.
1 Timothy 2:11-12
[11]Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
[12]But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
Kung inyong maalaala, meron isang yugto sa existence ng iglesia na pinamunuan kami ng babae sa pagkatao ni Mrs. Gugulan. So hinde po masama na mamuno ang babae sa kundisyong walang lalake na qualified to lead.
Ang masama po e yung usurpation of authority.
…nor to usurp authority over the man…
Meaning, merong lalake na qualified mamuno pero initsapwera yon para mamuno ang babae. Yon ang ipinagbawal.
Ang dapat sa babae e wag mamuno at magturo kundi tumahimik.
1 Corinthians 14:34-35
[34]Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
[35]And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Ang mga babae e pinapatahimik sa iglesia pero sa isang kundisyon. Kung sila ay ignorante sa aral.
… if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home…
Bakit ko nasabi?
Dahil merong mga babae na tagapangaral noong panahon ng mga apostol. Isa dito si Priscilla.
Acts 18:24-26
[24]And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus.
[25]This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John.
[26]And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.
At kahit yung ibang mga babae sa Iglesia e nangangaral sila sa mga kapatid bilang mga propeta.
1 Corinthians 11:5
[5]But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
Sabi, ang mga babae e me tungkuling prophesyiing. Ano ba ito?
1 Corinthians 14:3
[3]But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
Ang prophesyiing is necessary of edification and exhortation. Implying, pangangaral po.
1 Thessalonians 2:3-4
[3]For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of uncleanness, nor in guile:
[4]But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.
Ang exhortation e pangangaral:
…But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak…
Kanino ang prophesyiing?
Para sa believers. Para sa loob ng iglesia.
1 Corinthians 14:22
[22]Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not: but prophesying serveth not for them that believe not, but for them which believe.
Ito po patunay ko na pati babae e pwedeng mangaral dahil pwede silang prophets. Sila ay mga manggagawa. Sila ay me tungkuling prophesyiing.
Sa amin sa MCGI meron kaming mga manggagawang babae. Nong indoctrination ko, babae yung nangaral sa amin.
Lastly, me gift ang holy spirit called “gift of exhortation”. Basa.
Romans 12:6-8
[6]Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
[7]Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
[8]Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Ano ang exhortation?
Di ba naipakita kong pangangaral ito? So ang gift of exhortation ba e hinde pwede sa babae po? Pwede dahil yan pong gifts of the holy spirit e para sa church.
Salamat po.
A BEAUTIFUL MIND
