‘Most of Them Are the A**’—Perry Noble Critiques Male Ministry Leaders Who Believe Women Can’t Preach

Someone even asked Noble, “Is Biden the antichrist or is he just dumb?”

Noble garnered a lot of laughs when he answered the question, “Throughout the Bible Jesus elevated women. However, there are parts of the Bible that specifically talk about the role of women as pastors. Are women allowed to pastor, or are they only allowed to work with kids?”

Laughing after reading the question, Noble praised the person for asking it. “It’s a great question. I love the way it’s phrased,” he said.

“I want you to think about something for a minute,” Noble told the congregation. “Just think about it with me, okay, I want you to just think about it. Think about men, in ministry specifically, that you know, that are dogmatic about ‘only men can preach and women can’t preach.'”

“I want you to think about them,” he continued. “Would you invite any of them to your house for dinner?”

Noble replied, “No, because they are a part of the body of Christ—but most of them are the a**.”

The pastor’s answer resulted in the congregation responding by laughing and giving loud applause.

“That was funny. That was funny. It was funny right there,” Noble chuckled.

On a more serious note, Noble answered the question by saying, “The person in the Bible that you’re probably referring to is when it’s talking in Corinthians about women should cover their head and men shouldn’t cover their head.”

“And for years that meant men can’t wear a hat in church, which that’s not what it meant at all,” he added. “The reason they had that in Corinthians by the way—you’re gonna find this hard to believe—but there was a time in the world 2,000 years ago, where men were trying to dress like women and women were trying to dress like men.”

Noble said that he knows that sounds “insane,” but that is what the Apostle Paul was addressing when he wrote that command.

The Apostle Paul was “addressing Timothy when he said in Timothy that he was addressing a specific situation in the church in Ephesus.”

“The Word of God doesn’t contradict itself,” Noble preached. “I say this all the time [and] I’ll say it again: Women were the first people to proclaim the resurrection. If women can’t be preachers, we wouldn’t even know that Jesus was alive.”
