I respect Pastor MacArthur very much and I truly think that you took what he said out of context. I am a woman, I am over the women’s ministry and I teach Bible Study, I also teach Precepts but I refuse to teach any man.  Do study 1 Corint 11, go back to the original text, he is not making it up, he is teaching God’s word. I believe God had a good reason for having Paul wrote those things. We have Christian women who don’t know their place in ministry, we have Christian women who rules the home. I love knowing that the man is responsible and accountable for his wife, I love knowing that the leaders of the church are responsible for the leading of the church. It doesn’t matter what century we are in, the Bible has not changed, the message is still the same.

As we study the scriptures and look at it exactly the way it is to be taken, then we will not try to make it fit in our box. Paul was very clear about a woman’s place. I am a Pastor’s wife, my husband doesn’t treat me as a doormat, he treats me with respect and we both discuss many things in the ministry.

In clip 3, Pastor MacArthur  is teaching what the Bible says. The problem with many people today, they don’t want to hear the truth. As believers, we really need to take the Bible for what it says, and not fit it into what we want it to say so as not to offend anyone.
I think that his study on “God High Calling for Women” is something that should be studied. Believe me, he is not confused, he is truly a great teacher of the Word of God. 
Know that is in love and respect for those who truly understand God’s word or trying to understand. I am learning just as everyone is, but one thing that we all need to be careful about is taking the Word of God out of its context.
