In case some people aren't aware, we are living in a time where (at least in the US) women are the equal of men in every calling and/or profession that doesn't require extreme physical strength. Girls/women as as educated and capable as boys/men. There is no valid reason that women cannot fulfill any and every role in the church or any other part of the body of Christ.
a) The statements in Scripture that say otherwise were written in a society that was so different than ours today as to be unimaginable. "Women" (actually teenage girls) were the uneducated property of their husbands, expected to be little more than housekeepers and to raise their children. If the man was dissatisfied, he could simply "fire her" by giving her a writ of divorce -- no questions asked.
b) Today, women in Western societies hold positions at the top of every profession. It should be any different in the Body of Christ. Period.
c) Christians are not under the law, but under grace. The New Testament, including 1 Timothy, is not a recreation of OT law. Galatians 5:1, "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Galatians 3:28, "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."
Do we allow the times and our culture to alter the written Word of God?????
Actually my dear friiend.....this has nothing to do with Law or grace.
I have been in business as well as the ministry. I have hired women and promoted them to positions of leadership and they did a better job than most of the men.
They are in general great Bible teachers and well educated and spiritually mature.
However........That has nothing to do with this and everything to do with what God said.
1 Timothy 3:1-3...........
"This is a true saying, if a
MAN desire the office of a bishop,
HE desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the
HUSBAND of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous".
Titus 1:6............
"An elder must be blameless,
faithful to his wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient.
7 Since an overseer manages God’s household,
he must be blameless—not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain.
8 Rather,
he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
9
He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that
he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it."
Now then......... Jesus could have very easily chosen female Apostles if he wanted to, so this shows that he wanted only men to be Apostles.
WHY then must be the question God said that!!!
Pastors/Deacons in their role is not simply functional. They do not simply
do certain things; they do not just perform functions. Rather, they are also supposed
to be something: they are supposed to be symbols of Jesus Christ as they are in the position of "Priests".
So the Bible is simply saying that women
cannot be what a priest is supposed to be: a woman cannot be a symbol of Jesus the same way that a man can.
Lets go deeper theologically.........Jesus is the Bride Groom and His church is the Bride. HE is the HUSBAND of the Bride and a female/woman can not be that. Women simply cannot symbolize Jesus
in his role as bridegroom of the Church, in his marital sacrifice for his bride. Women cannot symbolize Jesus
as a husband.
