I mean Jesus was discipling Martha and Mary, do you really think he intended them to be quiet? He allowed the Woman at the Well (John 4) to preach, though she was Samaritan. We have Lydia, Nympha, Julia with her brother Jason who led Churches, along with Priscilla and Aquila. I think there is more Scriptures in favor of women being allowed to lead and teach than there is against it. And what if the men abdicate? Have the spirit of Ahab Spirit and refuse to lead people? Did not God raise up Deborah in the Old Testament, did not Ruth look to Noemi? Was it not Rahab who helped the Spies? Did not the Christ, our Lord Jesus come in the flesh because Mary obeyed the Lord?
I happen to agree with the Romans that Mary The Mother is the Second Eve, that just as One Woman in Paradise was partner in the Fall, Mary undos Eve's evil by agreeing to let Jesus be conceived, carried, and raised by Her to be Savior of All Humans. I am not saying Mary is a demigod or The Fourth Person of the Trinity.. no, but she is the antithesis of Eve who chose the Forbidden Fruit, instead Mary allowed The First Fruits of the Resurrection, The Alpha and Omega to take flesh in her.
From my perspective Woman has been redeemed as much as Man, when I say redeemed I am not speaking of the eternal redemption through Christ we all have by faith (we have it), but rather the little r redemption of cleansing and being bought back from the dark hands of slavery.
The Apostle Paul who people use his one verse to keep women down, also said,
"There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28)
Woman is as much a New Creation as Man upon believing in Jesus!,
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." (2 Corinthians 5:17)
If we are in Christ, wither male or female, we are no longer the old order of things! We are One in Christ, and Christ makes His appeal through us as ambassadors,
"So we are Christ's ambassadors, God making His appeal as it were through us." (2 Corinthians 5:20, AMPC). Paul doesn't then say, "well only for men is this so..," that verse does not exist!
