Why Are Women Forbidden To Pastor? by 2rutalkconcept: 7:35am On Feb 08, 2015 |
1 Timothy 2:11-13 -"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." This passage records 2 reasons why men are to be the leaders of a local church. The first is the fact of seniority. Adam was created before Eve. The second reason is a bit more complicated, but it has to do with the word pastor and its connection to the word shepherd. A pastor is a shepherd for Peter admonished the elders of the church to "FEED THE FLOCK OF GOD which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind." According to 1 Timothy 2, Eve was deceived by the devil, but Adam knew exactly what he was doing. Although he was wrong for disobeying God, his motive wasn't selfish. His motive was love for his wife who was destined to die alone for her sin. From this passage, we can see that Adam is a type or picture of Jesus Christ and Eve is a picture of the church ("Husbands, love your wives, EVEN AS CHRIST ALSO LOVED THE CHURCH, AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR IT" Ephesians 5:25). In John 10:11, Jesus Christ said that "the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." Adam willing forfeited his life for his bride-Eve. I believe that this is the reason why the Lord chose to use only those of Adam's gender to pastor. If Genesis 3 had been reversed, with Adam being deceived and Eve motivated by love for Adam, I believe that the Lord would have chosen only women to pastor. The whole thing hinges on a shepherd-like quality that was seen in Adam. |

Read that verse properly it never said women are forbidden to be pastors , Paul wrote those letters to each church address the issues they were facing , He asked women to keep quiet in church due to natural talkative nature in women and probably it was a major concern then . 2 Likes |

elantraceey:Since they were told to keep quiet, submissive, and not Permitted to teach any man how then can they possibly be a pastor? |

johnydon22:"28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Gal 3:28). "4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as there is one hope to which God has called you. 5 There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 there is one God and Father of all people, who is Lord of all, works through all, and is in all." (Eph 4:4-6) In Christ we are all one... |
