The Bible forbids women pastors.

Are you saying that because all the apostles were men? Or is there a specific verse that applies here? I'm not trying to start an argument. I just want to know.

“Or is there a specific verse that applies here?”

Certainly:

“11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” 1 Tim 2:11-14

yes there are specific scriptures that forbid women in the priesthood, I believe in Leviticus. That said, it may not have been uniformly applied. I recall the prophetess Deborah, who led Israel for a time.
