Depends on whether they have been appointed by God to the pastoral ministry. Based on the question it could be both or neither.

Not funny, its too typical for many women :)


I can joke about it cause it's not me

I can't stand a big show

my husband (going to be married 17 years) and I just had a civil ceremony...just the 2 of us...and the most important line was 'in front of God'

that I take seriously

I had a 'white wedding' once...it meant nothing to the man I had it with...

I was joking about all the single women...but there is enough truth to that to make it funny

Paul says that if you are in control of your passion, it is better to stay single than it is to marry:

[36] If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry -- it is no sin.
[37] But whoever is firmly established in his heart, being under no necessity but having his desire under control, and has determined this in his heart, to keep her as his betrothed, he will do well.
[38] So that he who marries his betrothed does well; and he who refrains from marriage will do better.

I have no problem with women pastors, either.

If a person obeys the Lord's commandments, let them stand up and preach. If a person doesn't obey the Lord's commandments, and encourages others to do likewise, have them sit down.

Whatever happened to the English language, that "woman" (a noun) became an adjective, but "man" remains only a noun?

For example...
woman doctor (but not "man doctor"), woman pastor (not "man pastor), lady cop (but not "laddie cop"), etc.

I'm not the grammar police (nor the grampar police, mind you) so I'll have to accept it eventually, but it's still wrong to me; "female" is an adjective; "woman" is a noun. It's sexist, I tell you. ;)

Deviating from the "adjective" route, but it reminds me of how words such as "spokesman" or "chairman" suddenly become "spokesperson" or "chairperson" when a woman takes on such roles. Not "spokeswoman" or "chairwoman". :D

It is not who says it, it is what is said that matters...either way humans are fallible...i will always default directly to scripture

It's true that Man and Woman have different usages in common English

Compare 'My man Joe'

With 'My woman Jane'
