I am a 44 year old male who has never had to deal with this issue until a month ago while reading I say 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians about women not teaching men and keeping quiet. At 1st glance I assumed it was added or fooled with by someone. So I shrugged it off and went about my life. Then a fellow we assemble with brought it back up. Then a video teaching i saw really got to me on this subject. Now, let me tell you about myself, I am a regular guy, I like firearms, Muscle Cars and such so I have little reason to take on such a firestorm topic. Except this is bout the body of Messiah and I love my wife! So in the last month of watching videos and studying the history of the churches I find this subject is up there with all others. Keeping women down is like keeping out gentiles over circumcision. Keep fighting the good fight with truth. I can not speak for all men but for myself this has been an inspiration! Thank you! ;)
Amen, brother.
thank you
A tower has been found in the archeology of the town of Magdala.
Praise god and his son jesus.

Amen🙏🔥❤️✅
How many of us learn Gospel's as a Righteous story wherever retold due that Holy Spirit's visit in individuals?
Every of such persons life has been transformed by the belief Christ has gone ahead prepare a homely place for each and for reunion back here!
So hearing firstly about Good news, effervescent offerings else unheard ways coming rescue someone with words borrowed from parlance too...
Wonder how when Nazarites heard it and reacted at Jesus without Spirit's attention probably their women folks had turned them back from its brink.
"Wherever the good news is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her" - Mark 14:9
Spiritually speaking (gender aside), matriarchal wisdom can begin with a fundamental understanding of the cyclical nature of reality (God).
Represented by the snake in many creation myths, the living cycle has a trinity of a beginning (head), a middle and end (tail). As above so below, the sexes were created in the image of God's cyclical nature where Mother is the head and opening to all beginnings and Father holds the tail to all endings (through which the sowing of seeds allow for the next great matriarchal rebirth).The joining of the two (symbolized by the Ouroborus or the marriage ring) is the sacred union needed in assuring the creation and continuation of new life cycles. To speak of the present day God as "Our Father" is simply an admission to our collective positioning within the bigger cycle.
As all mothers have direct experience with the creator quality of birthing, so is the direct experience of rebirthing the divinity within (baptism) belong to that which is spiritually matriarchal. (John 3, verse 3-8).
Sekhmet statues (ancient Egyptian) carry most of their weight in symbolic memory of what was a mother culture dedicated to the direct experience of baptism. As the leg shaped hairlocks extend from maternal breasts to the womb of rebirth, the lioness's head proportions are such that they highlight the bust of a second animal figure. The Lioness's ears as eyes and eyes as nose (nostrils) brings to life the figure of a reptile. 'Neath the halo headress of the solar egg, the lioness's egg fertilization process being internal (Set) and the reptile's egg fertilization process being external (Setting), such being key components to the safety of entering the trans-egoic or "born again" state. The life threatening fear associated with the predatory nature of a lion and/or crocodile encounter are reflective of the intense ego death experiences associated with the transpersonal awakening process.
In spiritually matriarchal times, illumination could be seen as wearing the false beard (ancient Egyptian funerary ego death mask) as the high state of cyclical self knowing; high cyclical awareness of both our upper matriarchal half and our lower (later) patriarchal half (compared with a mini lower body replica, an "as above so below" tail end beard extension); in full recognition of her civilizational Underworld; her inevitable cyclical destiny. The male pharaoh wears his beard tapered in reverse, indicating a pointing upwards towards the patriarchal head, divine representative of God's tail end cycle.
Mary's anointing and wiping of Jesus's feet with her hair can then be seen as "Head to tail" (toe) imagery as she descends her matriarchal head to his patriarchal feet, thus reenacting the high understanding (the natural descension process) of the divine cycle. (John 12, verse 3)
To carry the Ankh was perhaps to symbolically carry that upper and lower understanding. As the upper matriarchal womb symbolised the fertile birthing of civilization, below, the now Christian cross is carried to place emphasis on the lower (later) "End Times" Father principle of the great cycle.
Ganesha, the elephant headed Hindu diety, displays a cyclical head to trunk symbolism and points to the Mother head of his matriarchal elephant society.
A whole temple was dedicated to the ancient Egyptian goddess Hathor, who is the matriarchal "Uterus" personified. czcams.com/video/J0m0zJSEFK0/video.html
"See all women as mothers, serve them as your mother. when you see the entire world as the mother, the ego falls away. See everything as Mother and you will know God." - Neem Karoli Baba
Notice also the treatment of Jewish women with women from Greek and Roman culture, what they do and say. Imagine Paul's female friends as high class, well dressed Greek and Roman women converted to Christianity.
Jesus didn't appear to 12 because Mathias was selected way after the Resurrection and Judas, well we now what happened to him.
The bible. John 3.16.
The daughters of Phillip the evangelists were 15, 17, 20 and 22 and UNMARRIED
The bible
The bible.god and his son jesus.the bible.
Get the "widow" out. Many women were unmarried all their lives. Was not unusual to see unmarried women in their 20s. The Mother of Jesus was visited by the Archangel Gabriel when she was 16 or 17.
Only God is true and every man a liar. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY. Jesus Christ said "I am" the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father except through me. Jesus Christ said HE is the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end. The only flash to die sinless for the sins of all mankind, all the power and authority belongs to Jesus Christ Yeshua hamashiach Yeshua Messiah salvation teacher.
All these names are ROMAN and Greek names. They were gentile women of great stamina and money.
