God's Women Of Power

Women in ministry? The Bible is filled with powerful women of God.

In Romans 16:7, you hardly ever hear about Junia, especially about her being an outstanding Apostle.
Although some say that Junia was a man, the origin of Alexandria, (c.185-253) said the name was a variant of Julia, Romans 16:15, As does Thayer's Lexicon.
Leonard Swidler, Biblical Affirmations of Women (Philadelphia, PA: Westminister Press, 1979, page 342. He cited Jerome(340-419), Hattof Vercelli (924-961), Theophylack (1050-1108) and Peter Abelard (1079-1142), as believing Junia to be a woman.
Apparently the idea that Junia was man's name is relatively modern concept, but the bulk of the best evidence available is that Junia was indeed a woman and an outstanding apostle.
A common counter argument against any woman being an apostle is this: why didn't Jesus choose at least one woman among His apostles? Christ ministered primarily to the house of Israel, Matthew 15:24, he preached to Jews who were governed by both the Bible and the oral law. Jesus knew the oral law forbade women witnesses in both civil and religious matters.
Junia was not one of the twelve apostles; she was a New Testament church apostle as was the Apostle Paul.
Ephesians 4:8-11 tells us these apostles were not ordained until Jesus ascended, and their qualifications were vastly different than those governing the twelve.

Traditions of man have always, and will continue to hinder a great move of God.
The scribes and the Pharisees, although very educated and religious tried to hinder Jesus.
