Subject: should females pastor |
Bible Note: whilst i can see what you are saying i would draw your attention to 2 points, 1. your quote from the critical commentary uses the word "usurp" meaning to "seize and hold without legal authority", now if it was seen by a congregation that a particular woman was obviously annointed by God to preach and teach then their decision to give her a ministerial post would not be and could not be percieved as "userping of authority". 2. that in genesis 2:18 God says that He will make a "help" for Adam (the word used literally meaning aid or one to give assistance please note that nowhere is there a hint of lordship.(by the way when God tells eve in gen. 3:16 that adam will rule over her the word there literally means have power or control of (not authority over)) |
