Default Re: A Woman of Chayil: Far Above Rubies by Jane Carole Anderson

By the way I hope everyone understands that Burleson who Jane quotes is against female pastors and elders, as southern baptists are also.

So don't think that Jane's book means it's okay to have female pastors and elders.

However he believes that females can teach the bible to men.

This is a strange position to hold, because I thought the function of a pastor or elder was to teach the bible?

Anyway the Local churches allows women to teach men the bible - it's called the prophesying meeting. Also, women teach men the bible in the home meetings. And women cannot be elders - so we more or less agree about the place of women in church.

I believe this CARM article addresses the topic nicely:
