    The head of a single woman is Christ. A woman is not a head. She is not a leader. When St. Paul said that women are not allowed to teach....it means that she is not allowed to be a priest or pastor. She is not allowed to to take the role of authority, which was given only to men. 1...

    And it's the man who represents Christ, which is why St. Paul compared the husband to Christ as "head of the family." And the wife was compared to the Church. Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.

    You say that only men have faith simply because they perform religious rituals?? Is that what "faith" means to you.....the performing of religious rituals such as anointing the sick? How many times do I have to tell you that nowhere in the Old Testament and New Testament will you find a female...

    Female Pastors

    The priests of the Old Testament were all men. They not only preached, but also performed religious rites such as animal sacrifices for the atoning of sins, etc. The priests of the New Testament were all men who not only preached but also performed religious rites, such as the anointing of the...

    Deborah was not a priest as well. She was not a ruler in Israel. She was a judge. Judges 4:5 She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided. Deborah was only a judge. The...

    Rachel was a shepherd tending to REAL sheep. She was not a priest or even a priestress ruling over the Israelites.

    To answer your question, as a new creature in Christ, I am a female. The old person in me is gone, and the new person in me now exists. When the Bible says that there is neither Greek or Jew nor male or female, it is simply saying that all are equal in the eyes of God. God does not see race...

    And if you look up the Greek word for "priest" in the Blue letter Bible, it is a masculine noun, and you are saying that a woman can be a priest?? So, what difference does the Greek gender mean?? The word of God in scripture is specific In other words, the office of Bishop and the office of...

    Female Pastors

    A woman can be an assistant in the Church just like Phoebe was, and she can be a disciple. But there is nothing in the Old Testament or New Testament books showing that women were ordained as priests......to lead the Church. Where in the New Testament is a woman ordained as a priest?? As a...

    Where in scripture did God give authority to a woman to be a shepherdess to His Church??

    And it was God who chose the sons of Aaron and Levi to be priests. He did not choose their daughters. And it was Christ Himself who chose men to be His Apostles. None of His Apostles were women. God and Christ are the authority, and who God and Christ chose is what we should follow. They...

    It was God who gave the leadership to men by calling them to be the "Head" of the family. Wives are not the head of the family.

    Female Pastors

    Pastor is just another word for "priest." The word "pastor" is Latin for shepherd. You started the OP, asking if a pastor can be a female. I responded, and my response is "no." And I gave my reasons for it. And I also never said that only males are new creatures. I said that men are the...

    So, now you are quoting a different scripture. Moses said the same thing to the Israelites in Exodus 19:6, but as you can see in Moses time and even after his time, no female became a priest. It was God who made the men into priests (again see Numbers 3:3 and Deuteronomy 31:9). Notice that...

    Female Pastors

    To answer your first question, yes, I am called by God and am chosen. To answer your second question, the scripture you quoted has nothing to do with being a priest. It means that we are to follow Christ who died for us. We are not to follow what the world says, but what Christ says and do...

    Female Pastors

    I did not deny scripture. As I said, all the priests in the Old Testament were men. God made only the sons of Levi and the sons of Aaron to be priests (See Numbers 3:3 and Deuteronomy 31:9). All the priests in the Old Testament were men. None of them were females. In the New Testament, it...

    Female Pastors

    Females can be disciples, but they cannot be pastors or priests. In the Old Testament, all the priests were men. In the New Testament, Jesus chose 12 Apostles from his many disciples. Some of those disciples were women, but Jesus chose all men. Only a man can be a pastor or priest because...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    In God's kingdom, God is the one who is in charge.....not you. Christ said that in Heaven neither will be given in marriage. Therefore, all those in Heaven will be celibate just as Christ was ceiibate. In God's kingdom, we all become one with Christ just as Christ is one with the Father. In...

    Australia bans same sex marriage.

    With God all things are possible. God loves the sinner, but He does not like the sin. So, in Heaven, there is no homosexuality.
