Well, considering that giving a lecture or speech has nothing to do with leadership, but more with testimony. I would say that having her speak in a motivational or inspirational role is well within the doctrinal "Okay" zone. But I've never heard her speak so I am unaware of the content.
And if she IS teaching, I would think it's alright if she's doing it from an experiential perspective. As in "Hey, let me teach you how to appreciate God/ give God glory/ endure in Christ etc. based on the lot given me by God in life, I'm proof it can be done" sort of way. Or any other point of view in which she uses her disability to inspire, using it as a vessel to spread the gospel message, as all Christians, regardless of gender, are called to do.
It is
WRONG. Period.
No woman should teach (lead, have authority over)
any man
any thing. A woman most definitely should teach her sons while they are children--not men.
Second, I take issue with your use of the word
gender. There is no such thing as gender. Gender is an English word for something that does not exist in the English language. It refers to words
in other languages which are either neuter, masculine, or feminine--
not male or female. If you mean sex, then say (write) sex. Sex is the proper word to refer to, well, the sex of an individual. It is not a dirty word, though more often than not it is used in a dirty context.
But the word gender is just another part of the feminist agenda to remove all trace of the Biblical distinction between male and female. The process goes like this:
Equal == same
Same == interchangeable
Interchangeable == women rule the home
== women rule the church
== women rule the municipality/state/country
== women rule the world.
Interchangeable also == same sex relationships.
O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And confuse the direction of your paths. [Is. 3:12 (NASB)]It is not my intention to single you out at all, I just don't recall seeing that word on this board, in anything that I was replying to. Though it is rampant in the world, Christians should be taught that it is not correct.
