Links to all the previous questions and responses is at the end of this post. \u00a0This discussion will be Cheryl\u2019s response to Mike\u2019s answers on question #4 and Mike\u2019s rejoinder.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><em>Cheryl Schatz responds:<!--more--><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Mike, I am very happy that you admit that there is <strong><em>no verse<\/em><\/strong> that instructs elders to stop women from using their gifts. \u00a0In fact, as the body of Christ, we are to encourage one another in our gifts. \u00a0And we are told not to judge in these secondary areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Romans 14:4 \u00a0Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls; and he will stand, for the Lord is able to make him stand.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">There is a faithful solution to women teaching the bible to men. \u00a0It is to encourage the women to teach and do not stop them from teaching. \u00a0We should allow those men whose Bible-trained conscience <strong><em>does not stop them<\/em><\/strong> from accepting the good gifts that God gives through women, to stay and receive from the Lord. \u00a0Then let&#8217;s give those men whose conscience is weak and who do not believe it is right for a man to listen to a woman, the ability to leave quietly and respectfully. \u00a0But whatever we do, scripture does not say that a woman is not allowed to teach if she is teaching the truth. \u00a0<strong><em>Let her teach<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>encourage her<\/em><\/strong> by acting as one who values both the woman and her gifts because if you refuse to listen to her, she will most certainly receive the message that what she says has no value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">When we try to put limits on another fellow member of the body of Christ, and they do not accept our man-made limits, we may end up treating them with contempt, but the way of love shows that we need to let these women be responsible for their conscience before the Lord on these debatable matters.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Romans 14:10 \u00a0But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Romans 14:11 \u00a0For it is written, &#8220;AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Romans 14:12 \u00a0<strong><em>So then each one of us will give an account of himself to God<\/em><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Romans 14:13 \u00a0Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather determine this&#8211;<strong><em>not to put an obstacle<\/em><\/strong> or a stumbling block in a brother&#8217;s way.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It is a godly thing not to be an obstacle in the path of our own brother or sister in the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Mike, you said that God has set parameters on His gifts. \u00a0However, if you look closely at the restrictions in the Scripture, you will notice it is only <strong><em>the gifts that do not benefit all<\/em><\/strong> that are restricted and even these gifts <strong><em>are not completely restricted,<\/em><\/strong> and they are never restricted by gender. \u00a0It is God\u2019s intention that the gifts He gives benefits all. \u00a0Prophesy benefits all. \u00a0Teaching benefits all. \u00a0Tongues without interpretation benefits only one. \u00a0Men\u2019s and women\u2019s gifts benefit all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Lastly, we are told that we are not to allow our freedom to be spoken of as evil.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Romans 14:16 \u00a0Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">A woman\u2019s gift of teaching the Bible is not something that becomes evil when a man walks in the door. \u00a0Her gifts are also for the <strong><em>common good<\/em><\/strong> so that the entire body will grow together instead of growing apart and separated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><em>Mike Seaver&#8217;s rejoinder:<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Cheryl, once again, thanks for your response. \u00a0It is a joy communicating with you about this issue.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">First off, you said, &#8220;There is a faithful solution to women teaching the bible to men. \u00a0It is to encourage the women to teach and do not stop them from teaching. \u00a0We should allow those men whose Bible-trained conscience\u00a0<strong><em>does not stop them<\/em><\/strong> from accepting the good gifts that God gives through women, to stay and receive from the Lord.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Cheryl, I don&#8217;t think this is a conscience issue. \u00a0It is not like eating meat or not eating meat sacrificed to idols. \u00a0Paul says don&#8217;t allow it (1 Tim 2:12), and so we shouldn&#8217;t say that it is okay for those who have strong consciences. \u00a0I&#8217;m not saying that &#8220;women teaching men&#8221; is on the same level as those who are homosexual, but the same arguments you use of &#8220;conscience&#8221; and &#8220;don&#8217;t judge&#8221; is the very same argument I hear from homosexuals. \u00a0Anyone can say that some have strong consciences and some have weak consciences (and most of us always seem to think we have the strong consciences). \u00a0Homosexuals also say that anyone who says what they are doing is wrong is judging them. \u00a0Though I do not associate homosexuals and the gravity of that sin (Romans 1) with &#8220;woman teaching men&#8221;, they do both have some commonalities in their arguments. \u00a0They both dismiss Biblical passages that speak to an opposite view of what they hold. \u00a0They both hold their view in the name of Christian freedom. \u00a0They both say that the passages that speak against their view are culturally binding, but not binding for today. \u00a0They both say that God made them or gifted them in a certain way and that God would not do that if he did not intend them to live it out. \u00a0You see, Cheryl, your arguments are a slippery slope. \u00a0You do not have a passage that says, &#8220;Women should teach and exercise authority over a man,&#8221; but 1 Timothy 2:12 says, &#8220;I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man&#8230;.&#8221; \u00a0This is huge difference in our arguments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">The idea of women not teaching men is an instruction set in which to do it is to obey it and to not do it is to disobey it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Question #5 will go on-line on August 31st with the responses set for September 2, 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Links to all segments of the debate:<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a title=\"Mike Seaver and Cheryl Schatz debate women in ministry: Cheryl asks the first set of questions to Mike\" href=\"http:\/\/mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/07\/27\/mike-seaver-and-cheryl-schatz-1\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Question #1 and Mike\u2019s answers<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a title=\"Mike Seaver and Cheryl Schatz debate women in ministry: Responses to Question #1\" href=\"http:\/\/mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/07\/29\/mike-seaver-and-cheryl-schatz-2\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Responses to Question #1<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a title=\"Mike Seaver and Cheryl Schatz debate women in ministry: Cheryl asks her questions #2 to Mike\" href=\"http:\/\/mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/08\/03\/mike-seaver-and-cheryl-schatz-3\/\"><strong>Question #2 and Mike\u2019s answers<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a title=\"Mike Seaver and Cheryl Schatz debate women in ministry: answers to question #2\" href=\"http:\/\/mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/08\/05\/mike-seaver-and-cheryl-schatz-discussdebate-women-in-ministry-4\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Responses to Question #2<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><a title=\"Mike Seaver and Cheryl Schatz debate women in ministry 5\" href=\"http:\/\/mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/08\/17\/mike-seaver-cheryl-schatz-5\/\" target=\"_blank\">Question #3 by Cheryl and Mike\u2019s answers<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><a title=\"Mike Seaver and Cheryl Schatz debate women in ministry 6\" href=\"http:\/\/mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/08\/19\/mike-seaver-and-cheryl-schatz-debate-6\" target=\"_blank\">Responses to Question #3<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><a title=\"Mike Seaver and Cheryl Schatz debate women in ministry Question #4\" href=\"http:\/\/mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/08\/24\/mike-seaver-and-cheryl-schatz-7\/\" target=\"_blank\">Question #4 by Cheryl and Mike&#8217;s answers<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong><a title=\"Mike Seaver and Cheryl Schatz dbate women in ministry, responses to Question #4\" href=\"http:\/\/mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/08\/26\/mike-seaver-and-cheryl-schatz-debate-8\/\" target=\"_blank\">Responses to Question #4<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/08\/31\/mike-seaver-and-cheryl-schatz-9\/\">Question #5 by Cheryl and Mike&#8217;s answers<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mmoutreach.org\/wim\/2009\/09\/02\/mike-seaver-cheryl-schatz-10\/\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Responses to Question #5<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women in Ministry Debate: Freedom or Restriction?
