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 .

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

"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...
