AS the brother in law of a female pentecostal pastor, I don't have a problem with it.

So long as the teacher, whether they are female or male, sticks to the BIBLE. That's the key.

But the bible says women aren't to Pastor a church or teach men...

She must read a different bible than the one I read...

True enough, there's St. Paul, in the pages of the Bible, saying he doesn't think women ought to preach, but personally I don't think he used a relevant Biblical reference to support his argument, nor did he claim guidance by the Holy Spirit in the matter.

God is God and St. Paul is St. Paul. The Bible is a record of statements made or written at different times for various purposes. It is NOT an Earthly manifestation of a pure document maintained in Heaven. Christians are not Moslems and shouldn't make Islamic arguments.

As the brother-in-law of an ordained female Presbyterian pastor (a self-proclaimed evangelical too) I have a serious problem with disobedience to scripture.

The Holy Spirit NEVER contradicts what He inspired, and the Holy Spirit inspried the whole bible, even 1 Timothy 2 and 3.

I'd be willing to bet she'd a mite more pious than you, but maybe I'm biased.

The pastor she has is a great guy. No one in the congregation she's currently the pastor of has any issue with it and the church in Cleveland Tennessee didn't care much either.
