Women are Not to Teach or Usurp Authority...

[Ben1445]

The view that women cannot be pastors from what I have seen is mainly found in Calvinist churches.

Well I am not a Calvinist but if Calvinist have figured this out, good for them. I commend them for following Scripture in this area.

No you have not even come close to explaining my position.

It’s difficult. You keep changing the scope of the conversation.

Pretty soon you’ll be saying something like we don’t even believe God wants women to come to church.

Your position that women must be pastors if God is using them is ridiculous.

 

[Ben1445]

I agree that activity does not equal authority but you deny the ability of women to have any authority which puts you in the position of overruling God.

It does not follow.

Your logic terribly flawed.

1 Corinthians 14:34
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.


So who is overruling God, me who says they are not permitted to speak in the assembly like the Bible says, or you who says that they should and when they do it is the will of God?

God is not the author of confusion. And for God to select women to preach, let alone be pastors/ leaders/authorities over the flock, goes against a plain reading of Scripture.

@Silverhair, you are wrong here. There is no way to justify women pastors without ignoring what God has said in Scripture.
