Women Pastors?

[Silverhair]

The terms that are used in the Bible are "overseer" (episkopos) and "elder" (presbuteros), and both words are used interchangeably. When we say "pastor," we are talking about that same office.

Since Paul appeals to the male headship established at creation and speaks specifically of husbands, that only allows room for men to hold the title of overseer/elder/pastor.

Women are free to lead and teach others as much as they want, but when it comes to church gatherings, there are restrictions.

And again I point you to where God has used women to both teach and lead.

You want to hold to one view and I see another.

We will just have to agree to disagree.

I have tried to point out to you that all of that can be true, except they can't be called pastors. I'm sorry you don't like it.

Fair enough.
