The Real Mikuo Hatsune 1. No and for 2&3 Gender makes no diffrence as to who can be a pastor and teach the word.
You can tickle me pink, orange, red, or blue, but not grey
2 had nothing to do with gender. The question was : "2. Do you believe that all the men in the church should take turns preaching a lesson and sharing the word of God?" Not whatever you thought it said.
Because grey will not do.

1. Do you believe it is okay for preachers/pastors to receive pay for teaching the word of God? Even if they do it because they want to and not for money?
I think it's okay; if I had the means, I would pay them so that they can support themselves and their family. Some people use the gifts they've been given to work at a job; others use it the preach the Word of God, which is a very good job. :3
2. Do you believe that all the men in the church should take turns preaching a lesson and sharing the word of God?
That would be nice in theory... but realistically, not everyone is a great speaker and not everyone would want to speak to the rest of the church. And there is nothing wrong with quietly listening either. The preacher was given his title because he is good at preaching, and since he's the best one for the job, he does it well. However, I do think it's important for others to contribute in a faithful discussion, especially in a Bible study or small-group session.
3. What do you think about women who are motivational speakers or pastors?
I kinda want to be a motivational speaker. :3 Also, there are verses in the Bible, especially from the apostles, saying that women shouldn't speak in church, etc. This stuff was written because the culture at the time didn't accept women speaking out in public; however, times have changed and it is more acceptable now. The apostles didn't want the Christian population having habits that were frowned upon in those days. They did mention that women can be just as faithful as men and can express their faith in other ways, however.
So now, since most people don't consider the idea of a woman speaker (secular or otherwise) to be offensive, there really is no harm done. It doesn't feel wrong at all.

1. yes, one of my closest friends is a pastor, he is barely scraping by, he has 4 kids going on 5 and a wife to feed, he can't handle 2 jobs, lucky for him my church pays for house he can live in while he preaches, if it wasn't for my church he would be living on the streets
2. i would love to see that happen, though pastors go through seminary and from what my sister tells me (Shes friends with a pre-sem student in collage) they have to follow extra commandments, but i don't think everyone should preach in the church, it wouldn't work for large groups, bible study though..
3. no absolutely not, women should not speak in church, there are verses to back that up (A woman should not be the head over a man) once again bible study everyone should speak up because the only dumb question is the one that's not asked.

Aquatic_blue This has gone through my mind a little bit and I wanted to know what you all thought about it. I enjoy to see others views on these questions? 1. Do you believe it is okay for preachers/pastors to receive pay for teaching the word of God? Even if they do it because they want to and not for money? 2. Do you believe that all the men in the church should take turns preaching a lesson and sharing the word of God? 3. What do you think about women who are motivational speakers or pastors? 1 - I don't think that I could be paid for it, unless I was in a college type setting. It just wouldn't feel right. My church has a smaller budget than what it takes for a man to have the most basic living wage. I don't want to take money away from the work that it could be doing, like feeding people or helping to send people on mission trips, etc. If it wasn't necessary for my survival, I'd pass on the check.
2 - No. Scripture tells us that new converts shouldn't be in positions of authority, lest they get proud and be lead astray by it. There are certain qualifications that a man must meet before he is allowed to teach in the church. Be married to only one wife, have children, be able to manage his household, and so on.
3 - I don't have a problem with women being motivational speakers. However, scripture tells us that they are not to have spiritual authority over a man. You also see in the list of qualifications that I mentioned that the elders, deacons, bishops have to be male. So, I am against women being preachers.

Aquatic_blue 1. Do you believe it is okay for preachers/pastors to receive pay for teaching the word of God? Even if they do it because they want to and not for money? No, I don't agree with paid clergy. Doing the work of the Lord should be some thing that you willingly do, not because you are getting a pay check.
Quote: 2. Do you believe that all the men in the church should take turns preaching a lesson and sharing the word of God? I don't see a problem with members of the congregation giving lessons. However, the one who is ordained of God should preside over the meetings (Bishop, Pastor, etc.)
Quote: 3. What do you think about women who are motivational speakers or pastors? Women are great at being motivational speakers, an example would be Lisa Bevere! I love her! But I do not think that women should be pastors or leaders of the church congregation, because of what Paul has stated. (I don't remember the exact verse off the top of my head though.) It's against scripture.
