It is just the same old song and dance attempt to support women pastors.
According to the article, because Jesus and the early Christians held women in higher esteem than society at that time, it means women pastors is fine.
Women having roles as deacons in Scripture also supposedly mean women can be pastors.
These are about the only arguments women minister supporters got! And they repeat them, with slight twists, thinking it will hoodwink people.
Until you can prove to me that women led the early church and in Scripture, I will laugh at these articles. The fact that women held smaller roles means nothing.
Just out of curiosity rw, do you have a problem with women teaching and publicly correcting men in matters of doctrine and theology in a public setting like Free Republic? Be honest.
