I think they should compromise and allow women to be pastors but just not “senior pastors” because I am sure they will stop there and will be content with not being “senior pastors”.

Just asking for a friend but would Jesus recognize His church today?
Women are simply not to teach or exercise authority over men.
The word pastor, poimene, is literally a shepherd.
Also, and more precise, are the words episkopos, overseer or bishop, which is quite obviously an authority role. And presbuteros, elder, old man.
Women can do a great many things in the church, and often better than men. Just not the oversight/teaching roles where men would have to submit to them.
Terribly un-pc, but any other way leads to ruin, as the old denominations have shown.
“Senior Pastor” is not a term with any biblical significance.
Baptists misuse the office of a pastor in unbiblical ways. For instance, there cannot be just one pastor over a church. There must be at least two.

I am still waiting for women to cover their heads on our church.
Every denomination that has ordained women as pastors or Bishops has fallen into open apostasy.
Inevitably they start ordaining Lesbians and inevitably they support homosexual marriage, abortion on demand, and all will undoubtedly support ordination of trans pastors and teach that transsexuals are literally what they pretend to be.
It’s the devil getting his foot in the door.
Pastor-ettes? No. That sounds like some singing group.
This new “definition” doesn’t prevent women from stepping in to preach in a time when a pastor or his associates are out.
Women are not allowed to address the congregation as ministers.
‘He said in an interview Monday that “it should be remembered that this is a debate about ecclesiology, not soteriology, and should be treated as such in discussion among brothers and sisters in Christ.”’
It should be remembered that this is a red flag issue, and if you fly that red flag, Christians everywhere will recognize you as siding with the devil and the false church, rather than Christ and the real Church.
Acts 1:8 does not specify only men can spread the gospel; it does not exclude women.
Warren had Bill and Al Gore at his church right before the election and gave them political cover over the bimbo eruptions.
Big trouble. Just like the family when the father leaves, the church becomes unstable and ungovernable.

First women, then homosexuals.
