Bible Question (short): Can a woman be a Pastor |
Question (full): According to 1 Tim 2:12 A woman is not to teach or exercise authority (spiritual) over a man, and if she was a pastor then she would be usurping that position of the covering of leadership that a man has over her. So how can a woman be a pastor and be an authoritive figure over a man. Man was created first, then woman. Is he not head over her? |
