For the simple fact that I am a woman.. I can not believe that.. Yes, I know what the bible say and what some have said about this.
But I so can not believe that god would look at me and say 'no, you can not talk about me to a group simply because you are a woman, go find your husband or father'..!
Because of what EVE did is not good enough either..! Adam was suppose to be head of his household and look what he let happan..

You might want to look to the Story of Lilith for Strength, my dear. The BIBLE says MANY things, but remember the ones who wrote the book were men of power, and men of power are always fallable.
So reach into your heart & find the answers that you seek. There are MANY Christan sects out there whoe welcome female pastors....as a matter of fact, a female pastor came into my store earlier today! Find a new place of worship, my dear. If God is calling you to speak, then you need to find your voice! Brightest Blessings!

I understand how this can be very offensive. But let me ask you this. Do you truly believe that just because some denominations won't make you an official pastor, that you have less of an opportunity to spread the Good News? Or is it really a concern about the title? Do you believe that being a pastor will make you more important? If so, important in who's eyes? Certainly not God's. You know He looks on the inside. So why does it matter? If you have something to share, share it. But if you're obsessed with the position, then please search your heart. If you were a man and all you cared about was getting the title, you would surely be no more qualified to lead a group of believers. God bless you in your search.

Its true the bible states that a woman is not even allowed to speak in a church... however.. the bible also says:
Deuteronomy 10:17
17 For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.
Job 32:21
21 I will show partiality to no one,
nor will I flatter any man;
Laws back then were stricter and very raw.. i guess i could say. times have changed now.. and im not saying that were like 100% liberal now but there are some things such as a woman preaching that are allowed now... you just have to look for the right church. We (in our church) believe that i woman can preach... we even have services specifically lead by the women with a woman preaching at the end. its great. i hope i helped and may God lead you where ever you need to go to get His word out. God Bless..

Wow.
Actually, a lot of people quote that scripture out of context, without keeping in mind Romans 16, in which Paul commends his "sister" Phoebe, who was a deaconess of the church in Cenchrea.
Why would God NOT approve of a woman preaching?
Paul also goes on to say that while woman came from man (Eve from Adam), man comes from woman, so neither are independent of each other. And BOTH come from God. So you are sanctified and justified through Christ Jesus, and if you are called to preach, go PREACH!

It is the order of God. Why was Christ in submission to the Father if Christ is equal to the Father?
Man was formed from dust first flesh then God breathed a spirit into him...Why should the first be last and the last be first? It is the order of God that the flesh should be in submission to the spirit as Christ was in submission to the Father. Lose the pride and seek God's purpose.
God formed Eve from Adam and demonstrates they are one flesh, they are one creation God made man in his image and he made them male and female.
It is the order of God.
Should the foot say to the hand why has God made me this way?
Each serves a purpose in the body and we are the body of Christ we can not all be eyes or hands but each serve a purpose in the body.

Because you are but a spare part of a man, a mere rib.
Just kidding.
I don't know.
By the way Adam did not have a household till he was made to leave the garden.
He didn't need one he was but another creature in the garden of Eden.

Three wonderful woman preachers. If you want to preach and you feel God has led you into the ministry... Go for it! I have your back, sister!

You are beating a dead horse. Many women have gone on past this and become world renown for their message of salvation.
your question makes me wonder what qualifications you have to lead and counsel families, Which is a big part of being a Pastor.

Its easy to get caught up in what we may desire to do/be. But, you know the Lord will give you your path if you listen.
