I just left our previous church over this exact issue when they hired a woman Pastor. Pastor/Bishop/Elder is an exact term and position in the Bible with qualifications listed in at least two different places clearly that it is a man. Their argument is not with me, not with “current times are different”, not with “men are not doing the work”, etc. Their argument is with God and his word. I’ll take God every time. This is not anti-women. They can do any job in the world (including President) except for only 2 jobs (pastor and deacon). Those are the only 2 jobs in the whole world where God explicitly says it should be a man. I have no issue with a church hiring a Woman “Director” or any other term. But when given the term “Pastor” and/or preaches from the pulpit they have crossed the line.

Get with the program. This is the 21st century. Times have changed. Even some formerly mortal sins are now OK, most clergy people agree. Apparently, since they have gotten so popular, God has changed her mind.
