女人可以講道嗎 (Are Women Allowed to Preach)?
By Tin-chee Lo (盧天赐) 這是一個具爭議性的問題。既然有人問我這個問題,我就直言不諱地表達我個人的觀點。既是「觀點」我就不把它絕對化,只把我的理由陳述,給讀者參考。首先讓我们考慮两処經文 (A)「凡女人禱告或是講道、若不蒙著頭、就羞辱自己的頭.因為這就如同剃了頭髮一樣。(林前11:5) 」 此經節顯然暗示女人是允許公禱或講道。「講道」英譯作「說預言」之意。聖經充滿預言,所以釋經講道就等於說預言。但女人講道有限制嗎? 有。她必須蒙著頭。然而蒙頭是甚麼意思呢?讓我們看看下一節經文。 (B) 「但女人有長頭髮、乃是他的榮耀.因為這頭髮是給他作蓋頭的 (林前11:15) 。」 「蒙著頭」不單是指「以巾蓋頭」。保羅把物質的頭巾延伸到女人的「長頭髮」。 頭巾代表順服。講道者 (不論男女) 都要順服在聖經的杈威之下。保羅把「長頭髮」同等於「頭巾」乃指「女人必須像個女人」。有些女牧師為了彰顯權柄,在講台上手舞足蹈,大聲疾呼,完全失去女人的本性,甚至近乎不合體統,這就是保羅所警告的。 由(A)和(B)我們得出這樣的結論:聖經並沒有禁止女人講道,但男女是有別的,只要她以「像個女人」的方式, 按上帝給她的恩賜講道即可。 為何會有這樣的一個問題呢?其實這問題只源於一節聖經: (C) 「我不許女人講道、也不許他轄管男人、只要沉靜。(提前2:12) 」 另有版本譯作: 「我不允許女人教導男人或對男人擁有權威;她必須保持沉默。(提前2:12)」 「我不許」是一個強烈的字眼,但我們必須知道保羅「不允許」的是甚麼東西。中文的「講道」英譯為「教導」。難道男人不需被教導嗎?當葛培理牧師 (Billy Graham) 的事工開始之前,他受到十九世紀的自由主义神学 (Liberal Christianity) 的衝擊,使他甚為困惑,甚至對上帝失去信心。後來有位老姊妹教導他關於尊重聖經權威,並強調「耶和華如此說 (Thus saith the Lord)」的重要性,他就在某一個晚上皎潔的月光之下,重新悔改,後成為廿世紀眾所周知的偉大佈道家。這是在他自傳《Just as I Am》中所述的故事。當保羅說「不允許女人教導男人」時,他的意思是指當時 (甚至現今) … Continue reading
