I really don't see I need for the debate but I will show scriptures so if there is a debate then the proper name for the thread should be. Is the Bible the true inspired Word of God, and this should also bring all to the conclusion that this means all the Bible not just what we want to choose , If God inspired paul to tell the early church Not to let woman have authority in the Church, then a Bible believing Church should not let a woman have authority over the Church, If we say that paul was wrong then what other part do we cut out or how can we judge righteousness and say that Homosexual shouldn't pastor or hold on even child abusers, if we can cut out the part or even say it doesn't apply to the church today, about women not being pastors shouldn't we cut out where it would be wrong for satanic worshipper to be pastors also< where do we draw the line in what parts of the Bible is right and what parts are wrong . a little leaven leavens the whole lot ,, It all has to be true or I am throwing mine out. if we say that a counsel is the authority and not the pastor does the counsel determine what the flock is feed every sunday or does the pastor have to right to feed His flock what God has told him to or does he have to get the message for the week from The COUNSEL? if The pastors have the right to choose the message then they have autority Come on , please!!! here is the True Word of God, you do what you want to with it.
Eph 5:23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
2ti 3:16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:2ti 3:17That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
Mt 4:4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
1co 14:34Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
1ti 2:12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
so the conclusion we must come to is if any of these verses That I have posted here are not the Inspired Word of God Then how can we preach any verse as the truth. if 1Tim 2:12 is not true and paul was wrong how can we preach that he was right when He said
Ro 8:17And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
and while we are at it let us cut this one out also I think most of us has already anyhow
Ro 10:3For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
