I commend to you Phoebe our sister, who is (also) a minister of the church at Cenchreae, that you may receive her in the Lord in a manner worthy of the holy ones, and help her in whatever she may need from you, for she has been a benefactor to many and to me as well. [ROM 16:1-2] [Note: The term minister in the New Testament is used frequently to denote servant and attendant and should not be confused with todays use of the term. Paul has clearly indicated roles for women as in 1COR 14:34-5: As in all the churches of the holy ones, women should keep silent in the churches, for they are not allowed to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says. and in 1TM 2:11-12: A woman must receive instruction silently and under complete control. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man. She must be quiet.] ===== Universal Life Church World Headquarters Saving Lives by Finding Jesus ©1996-2014 ulcnetwork/ #universallifechurch #michaelcauley #bible #biblequotes
