I feel that there is a calling there with some of these, but I really do not know how to make the determination of pastorial ministy. Thank you, Gentlesound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an easy decision seeing that the Word of God is pretty specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an easy decision seeing that the Word of God is pretty specific. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But.....what if there either are no men ( or no qualified men ) or there are no men willing to take the role of Pastor in a particular church ? Is God going to fill that position with a qualified woman, or is He so legalistic that He'll just let the church fend for herself without any leadership ? Should an unqualified man take the position over a qualified woman for the sake of gender roles ? I see nothing wrong with a woman pastor if she's been called by God to lead. If it's based on some "women's rights" movement or if she's trying to prove some point to herself- yeah, that's the wrong reason... but who are we to say God hasn't called her to serve in leadership ? ( I'm sure there have been many a men who over the years entered the ministry for the wrong reasons...yet their motivation is never called into question ) I'm sure I'll come under fire for my position here, but it's how I feel about the subject. Blessings, Tim <{POST_SNAPBACK}> God has declared in His Word that a woman is not to do the job. If God is for the formation of this Church body then He'll provide a competent man to lead it. Being a Pastor is a calling from God. God does not call women to be Pastors simply because He said they weren't to serve in that capacity. Is God legalistic? Perhaps. But, what He says goes. If you want Christ to be the head of the church you have to let Him reign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
