Paul commanded that his instructions were to be kept until Christ�s coming. �That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ� (1 Tim. 6:14). This command is given at the end of the epistle in which the Apostle had so clearly required that women be in subjection to men in the church (1 Tim. 2:9-15). Since Jesus has not yet appeared, we are to continue to maintain these restrictions.

The commandment referred to here probably refers to the initial command of 1 Timothy 1:3-5(charges concerning Doctrine). The whole book is a charge to be alert to the false teachers and their doctrine. Until the appearing--The coming of Mechiach is the great motivation for godly living. G_d never changes. Standards and mores may change in the mind's of men, but G_d's Holy Standards are the same until the coming of Y'shua.

Jackals demonstrates his disbelief to justify ordaining women. Either he believes Jesus has already come or is not coming. Another possibility for Jackals believing false doctrines is:

IF MEN WILL NOT LEAD, WOMEN WILL

One reason why women are taking leadership positions is that the man has too often failed to take his place. When men are weak, women must be strong. This is often seen in the church. Men should willingly step forward to lead the church in every area, but often the men are weak and lazy. They don�t give; they don�t go soul winning; they don�t volunteer to fill vacant positions; they don�t come out on work days. Someone has to lead, so the women step in and take control. Christian men should respond to the call of world evangelism, but few do. A great number of Christian men are too weak, or lazy, or fearful, or busy with selfish plans to be concerned about world missions. So the women do what they can.

When men are strong and obedient to God�s commands, there is not a serious problem with what the women should do.

Where there are women in the pulpit is a strong indication we are coming quickly to the time of the end. It is an indication the ministry Jackals is associated with and oversees, is very weak. It is weak in sound, pure doctrine, in faith, in position and practice, etc.

One very Biblical word is justify. There is little in the way of adjectives for this word. Can you justify having a woman in the pulpit or a ministry position? If you can, you really need to look at the pathetic, debased spiritual condition of the men in your church and the direction of that ministry in general.
