Bible Question:
Is it Scipture (the will of God) for a woman to be a bishop, pastor, or elder? 1 Timothy 3:1-7 state the qualifications for such positions. I understand that all believers are to preach the word, but I'm seeking for an understanding on the offices and a woman's role in them, and I'm only concerned with what God says. The reason for this concern is that these offices are ones that seem to be directed to the "head." Does "head" only pertain to a man in marriage? Can a woman, according to Scripture, be the "head" of a church? WalkingTalkingBible |
Bible Answer: I would like to add one more thing: Ephesians 5:23 "For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior." 1 Corinthians 11:3 "But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God." I am trying to portray from these two passages that the wife can not be the head of the church, since her husband is head of her and Christ head of him, with Christ also being the head of the Church. I hope that this helps. Brother in Christ, Rex |
