Is it possible that over the years of Church history, some verses were translated with a male bias? Phoebe, a Christian woman whom we find in Romans 16:1 spoken of as any common "servant" attached to a church body, yet, may have been someone gifted by the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel, if we read what the apostle originally said in the Greek. "Diaconon" can (from what I have read) be translated "deacon" or preacher of the word. Although I am no Greek scholar, but given that you said "deacon" means "preacher of the word". I find that an odd translation, since I see nothing in the Bible that says anything about deacons preaching the word. Perhaps you can show me where in Scripture you see a precedent for a deacon preaching? My understanding of the word "deacon" is that it means servant. Tom
