1.)I've been having this question in mind alot.. Are women permitted to be pastors at a church? I say to myself.. God can use anyone.. I mean, he made rocks talk, didn't he? But then again, the bible says in 1 Timothy that women are not permitted to teach men because of their fall through Eve. I read in a guide that when Paul said this, the women during his time were very rowdy and therefore he had to instruct them to be silent.. What are you all opinion on this topic?? I'm researching this on my own, but I would like to know you alls opinion..

2.) Also, what do you think about speaking in tongues? Should it be in order as mentioned in 1 Corinithians or...? The bible mentions an interpreter.. I'm really confused when it comes to this and I'm just praying to God for direction...

Any help at all will be a great aid..

May God bless you!
