Can women be Pastors? Can women be in ministry? Are women in ministry sinning? Let's talk about it on the He Is Greater Podcast!

EXAMPLES OF WOMEN IN MINISTRY IN THE BIBLE

Examples OT: 
- Miriam (Prophetess – Exod 15)
- Huldah (Prophetess – 2 Kings 22)
- Deborah (Prophetess & Judge – Judges 4-5)
- Esther (Esther)
- Ruth (Ruth)
- Naomi (Ruth).

Examples NT: 
- Junia (Apostle – Rom 16:7)
- Priscilla (Teacher/Pastor – Acts 18:26, Rom 16:3-5, 1 Cor 16:19)
- Nympha (Pastor – Col 4:15)
- Phoebe (Deacon – Rom 16:1-2)
- Anna (Prophetess - Luke 2:36-38)
- Phillip’s Daughters (Prophetesses – Acts 21:8-9)
- Mary & Women (First Preachers of the Gospel & Resurrection to men – John 20:11-18, Luke 24:9-11, Matt 28:5-7, Mark 16) 
- Samaritan Woman (Evangelist – John 4:39)
- Euodia & Syntyche (Ministers – Phil. 4:2-3)

REGARDING 1 TIM 2:12:

There’s no distinction between the words “wife” and “woman” in Greek; both English words translate the same Greek word γύνη; gynē.

There's no distinction in Hebrew either, the word is ishshah; אִישׁ (H376) or אֱנוֹשׁ (H582).

Therefore, whether talking about a woman or a wife one must look at context. Here is the 1 Tim 2:12 passage:

διδάσκειν (to be teaching)  δὲ (but, yet) γυναικὶ(woman) οὐκ (not) ἐπιτρέπω,(I am permitting) οὐδὲ (not but, yet)
αὐθεντεῖν (???) ἀνδρός,(man, husband) ἀλλ’(but) εἶναι (to be) ἐν (in) ἡσυχίᾳ.(quietness)

Here is Young's Literal Translation properly utilizing the word "husband" which implies the word "woman" ought to be "wife."

"and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness," - 1 Tim 2:12 YLT

Translated properly it would read "and a wife I do not suffer to teach nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness."

This train of thought, that wives ought to be in submission to their husbands and not ruling over them is consistent with the Scriptures.

"Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord." - Ephesians 5:22 NIV

Wives submitting to their husbands does not imply submission to all men in general and does not negate a woman's ability to teach a man, or else Priscilla would have been scolded for doing so in Acts 18:26.

“‘In the last days, God says,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your young men will see visions,
    your old men will dream dreams.
Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
    and they will prophesy." - Acts 2:17-18 (Quoting Joel 2:28-29)
