Women did have an active part in the first century congregation. The following account shows that a woman did have a prominent position in the congregation. JC with his admonition did not say ‘What the heck are you doing teaching…don’t ya know you should be only doing No 3 assignments’. She did get ticked off by JC for fornication and all but if she repented etc. I guess he would allowed her to carry on. Any thoughts?
*** Rbi8 Revelation 2:20-29 ***
20 “‘Nevertheless, I do hold [this] against you, that you tolerate that woman Jez'e•bel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and misleads my slaves to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her fornication
