Eric W. King ~ TSW, "The Shepherds Way": Christians praying for Iranian women as they stand up for freedom.

Christians praying for Iranian women as they stand up for freedom.

We continue to pray for the women in Iran. Freedom is becoming a loud-cry as we approach the year 2023 in all countries around the globe. Abuses of Christian and Muslim women is aggressive in countries like Iran.

Many Christian women have started home-churches in Iran to help those who truly wish to be delivered from the wickedness of fallen men. So we continue to pray for them and help where and when we can.

Sadly, in some American denominations women are still not allowed to teach or preach. Here at the Ancient Antiochene Church of God we have always allowed women to teach and preach and we pray that the other churches would study more diligently the Word of God regarding this issue.

I would like to post some thoughts from an older article which is still posted here at TSW for your contemplation:

"It is true that many women were not allowed to speak in the Greek Religious tradition and respectable Greek women lived a very confined life. Some scholars believe that one of the reasons St Paul didn’t want the Christian women of Ephesus to teach publically is because it would make Christian women look loose….way too open for women of Greek culture. St Paul never wanted to turn anybody away from the Gospel."

"Yet some of the powerful corrupt Greek women were connected to the powerful elite and these women could give orders to kill. Some scholars speculate that the stories of the Amazonian warrior women boosted the status of the Ephesian Pagan Priestesses. These powerful groups didn’t take to Christianity."

"Some of these women were entering the Christian discussion and worshiping sites in Ephesus and creating troubles while other Greek women looked down on Christian women as being “loose”. Apostle Paul is basically saying; “Thus, St Timothy, for the Ephesus church be safe, do not let your women to teach.”

"Another sad fact regarding the complicated issues with women at the time that this letter by St Paul was written was the fact that there were many female prostitutes, the so called priestesses of Aphrodite. So we must truly begin to understand the cultural background here."
