Oh please, not this again. Deborah was NOT a pastor. 99.9% of the time God ordained men to lead, not women. You have to be desperate to focus on the 0.1% and ignore the 99.9% Show me anywhere in the Bible where God ordained a woman as a pastor. You can't. All you're doing is taking part of the feminist liberal agenda that is plaguing Western churches.
You cannot put God in a box. There is no way you can box Him in. Look at Solomon, when he offered 1,000 bulls it was at a high place and not the alter. Yet He came to him in a dream and asked him what he wanted and he said wisdom and it was given to him Yet he clearly broke the law. God does whatever pleases Him. I am not God and who am I to challenge Him.
Not to mention Anna from the account of Luke...she was a prophet. Prophets have the same roles as preachers. Basically all prophets did was **PREACH**. To say that God did not ordain women as ministers is ignorant of what is presented in the Scripture. Besides, what's the difference between a woman behind a pulpit and a woman sharing the Gospel and starting a church in another country? There is no difference. America is mainly the ONLY country that has a problem with ministers being women. I know a minister in Atlanta and she is a woman. She is FAR from being homosexually supportive so to say that has something to do with homosexuality is ignorance as well. It annoys me when people take Paul's letter that was meant for THAT PARTICULAR culture and congregation and apply it to ALL churches as a whole. The women in that situation were advised to be quiet. He was not talking about all women because if he was implying all women to be quiet, Paul would not be accepting of Priscilla having a role in ministry in spreading the Gospel (which she did.)
Priscilla assisted her husband in teaching Apollo.
The bible doesn't say women cannot speak at all. He did create us with a mouth and voice for a reason. Women should not preach in presence of Christian men.
The bible also states that women are the fairer sex as well.
Eve was created as a help meat to Adam
Also, when it comes to this issue if equality and authority there is a character in the bible who wanted equality and be the same to the one in authority. Things didnt go well for him.

Hey liz girl, i miss ya! LOL and so glad to know you still ROCK! heheheheh Nice pic of you and your son!
On a new note, I agree with you 100% as i preach all the time at many churches where i am called to go and you know what.. God is the one who provides me with the messages too.. Many times i pray about what to say and then, He is faithful and even when something comes as a scripture or topic to mind, it might be one that is not to my taste, but God always shows and gives me directions in Words and it always works! God is always faithful and loving!
He never gives up on us and is not prideful to say i can only use some while others are not good enough, for He knows he is the only one truly good!
I always take encouragement from Balaams donkey for if God can use a donkey to speak and teach Balaam to go down the right path, then surely he can use me! For am i not better than a donkey or are women less than animals now... I know according to God of the bible, He didn't think so for MY GOD says He can do and USE ANY THING! After all, He is God, He makes the rules, not me nor men! All He asks of us is to follow... Many are too busy trying to force themselves to the top instead of following and humility is a quality that even Jesus respected and achieved!
