Bible Note: Dear Tuli, God has given the man headship over the woman. 1 Cor 11:3 "But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ." Being that the woman is in subjection to the man, her role of pastor would turn the scripture upside down. The idea of women assuming leadership roles in the church is unscriptual to say the least. It arises from our corrupt culture. Where in the New Testament can one find an example of a woman leading a church? Woman was given to man to come alonside him to help him fulfill God's plan. Apart from one another they were incomplete. Together they became one flesh. Each one equal before God, but with different gifts and responsibilities. Your thoughts? Your Brother, John |
