Still get the emails from SBC church I used to attend. Today the "deacons and their wives will be distributing communion elements.".
Women distributing communion?
Never heard of this in a fundamental church.
I tend to agree with what Christ Jesus in Gal 3:28 "...there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus". I think to much is made of this no women in this or that position since. That, to me, seems to be more of a tradition thing than a biblical thing.
Where does Scripture say that it must be distributed by deacons.
Our church is very small and we have no deacons.
First, there is no one qualified to be a deacon
Bruce Ware is currently on the Council of Biblical Manhood and Womanhood, and a former president of the outfit. Here is an article penned his wife Jodi:
LOL, you are making a distinction that the Bible doesn't make.
Paul so trusted and loved Phoebe that he entrusted her to deliver his letter to the believers in Rome. Not to any of the men he knew...but to a trusted woman.
Low deacon rather than administrative deacon. How silly you are.
The Bible does indeed make the distinction.
I linked many times on here the series where MacArthur proves it beyond any reasonable doubt.
No one on here has ever refuted what he said. Some just conveniently forget it.
If all a Deacon did was distribute food, there would be no need for him to have near identical qualifications of a Bishop.
I can tell you the most obvious reason I am not comfortable with it. There are instances where communion elements are to be denied to the person living in unrepentant sin. If a woman is serving a man and she denies him the elements, she is then in a place of spiritual authority over a man.
