I lived in a Bible-based Christian ministry that was a cult for 7 years. The cult leader always called me "the faithful sister." At the end of that time, they pulled me into the main office and told me I had somehow failed God because I wasn't a pastor. I hadn't failed anything or any training. I waited for them to tell me something I actually did wrong, which they never did. They just made generalized statement, like "We decided you just want attention." They twisted a Bible verse to sound like it was God condemning me and kicked me out. We were brainwashed that our leaders were "anointed" and spoke for God. I only recently found out that verse has nothing to do with condemning God's people. I got away from JESUS for 18 years. After that I realized GOD is infinitely above human beings, and I came back to JESUS. What really helps is seeing these videos about the false preachers doing the same things the cult did. Then I can see it objectively. Claiming they have the "only truth" and if we leave we "backslide" and all other Christian churches have "false doctrine." I hope this helps anybody else who was driven away by so-called "Christians" acting badly to them. There are so many false prophets and preachers now !!! JESUS is everything to me now. I PROMISE YOU JESUS LOVES YOU AND DIED FOR YOU !!!!!!!
I had a pastor tell me I was getting in the word too much on my own. And I was doing a lot in the prisons and the streets but doing nothing for the church.
When the question of women in ministry comes up most of us don't look at the historical role of empowered female ministers that faced death and persecution in their witness of the gospel . The matter of church discipline must be taken into consideration and not a steadfast omission of the opposite sex in ministry . Many women missionaries have gone out during the centuries alone to start and lead churches and been very successful . When it comes to spiritually abusive pastors they are never ready to contend with correction or confrontation from the members of the congregation Most times you find out they are covering up a vast multitude of wrong doing and even a criminal past .
Was enjoying this video but very surprised at the major detour regarding womens ministry towards the end. Scripture allows for women to do plenty of ministry activities of great value, but pastoring a church and having corporate authority over men is way off base. Just saying
Thanks for your question. There is no chapter in the Bible that lays put a clear theology on women. That's why people can see it from different perspectives. If it was clear, there'd be no disagreement.

Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you enjoyed the first part, at least!
Pastors can only do what they’ve been taught according to their organizational ignorance.
That's true to some extent. But the Holy Spirit is also their teacher, so they have some responsibility to listen to the Spirit and follow his lead.
Doesn’t the Bible speak clearly about women in the church?
