An overseer ( elder, pastor) is simply an office in the local church......If they needed to have the same qualifications as Christ and a foreshadow of Christ....they should be dying on the cross for the flock...how could they be a "foreshadow" of Christ when we have the real substance of Him now with us?
this is just spiritual ignorance gone to seed....to protect a man-made tradition...
This is getting too weird for me.....I'm bowing out now..God bless you....

I am not going to give you the honor of any replies this late in the game until you answer the questions I have been asking you the last two days, without one response, btw.
Answer me, and then Mr. Pharisee, who is looking to trap me, I will answer you. At least my questions are sincere and genuine.

Jesus said nothing in this regard while He was on the earth but Jewish custom was for the man to fulfill the priestly duties in the Jewish family order.
Paul spoke to this several times in his epistles.
1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
I find it difficult to believe that a woman could pastor and not exert authority over a man in the church.
