Subject: Why can't women lead a church? |
Bible Note: Hi Ismaila, It is a controversial question partly because women don't like the Scriptural emphasis. I will give you three pointers: 1). Jesus only appointed male Apostles, even though women disciples were travelling around with Him (Luke 8.2). 2). Paul stated that no woman should teach authoritatively or have overall authority in the church (1 Tim 2.12). 3). Paul said 'the head of the woman is the man' confirming 2). (1 Cor 11.3). Best wishes |
