Zone1 Why does Christianity allow women priests and preachers?

[Frankenstein]

Where does the bible say that? And even if it does, did Jesus say it? Then they can blow that part of the bible off. And which bible? King James or one of the many other bibles that have been written?

Christianity evolves with time. 200 years ago Christians took everything in the bible literally. Today not so much.

50 years ago Christianity said being gay was a sin. Today we have gay Christians. Some sects of Christianity accept them.

It's a business. One sect of Christianity will corner the market on gay Christians.

The Word of God proclaims, “A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent” (1 Timothy 2:11–12). In the church, God assigns different roles to men and women. This is a result of the way mankind was created and the way in which sin entered the world (1 Timothy 2:13–14). God, through the apostle Paul, restricts women from serving in roles of teaching and/or having spiritual authority over men. This precludes women from serving as pastors over men, since pastoring definitely includes preaching, teaching publicly, and exercising spiritual authority.
No such thing as a gay Christian, as Homosexuality is a sin. Go talk about politics I mean you have no idea about that either but at least you can fake it there

Funny .. the actual words are "man" and "woman" ... you seem confused by that? ...

Funnier ... you don't think there's enmity between the biological sexes? ...

No, the words are you or thee. And god is referring to the serpent and women. The seed being jesus.

They are just popping up left and right. And gay churches too. Which is an abomination.
Christians let the govt take over their rituals(marriage), and now they are letting women and queers take over their churches.

Woke.

People say that. Not Christianity.

Where does the bible say that?

The apostle Paul mentions it a couple of times.

If you’re a female member of the Clergy in England, you get to sit in the Royal Box at Wimbledon, with the rest of the riff-raff.

Hmm does she not agree to the man putting his part inside her. man you really hate men as to put all blame on them, see I see as both being at fault

I did say both are put to death ... and I hate the sin of adultery, and encourage my brothers to hold their seeds ... stop pursuing the pleasure of the flesh and attend to more important matters ... like feeding the hungry, housing the homeless and clothing the naked ...

That $200 you spend on a date in a vain attempt to get laid could have fed a widow woman for a month ... worse, it you do get laid and she gets knocked up ... well ...

And now I'm praying for the end time /
to hurry up and arrive

Jesus also didnt say married men should be jerking off to naked chicks. But we all know he wouldnt want that.

So to answer the question, Jesus didn't say anything about it, so the OP is wrong on its face.

That $200 you spend on a date in a vain attempt to get laid….

You’d go to all that trouble, knowing it was a waste of time?

Thats Old Testament. Thats for people of the Jewish faith. Jesus the Handyman swept all that aside, and we are talking his religion, not Judaism.

You don't think there's enmity ... wow ... the context here in Genesis is Adam and Eve have just been booted out of Eden and God is laying out all the punishments ... animals hate us, women get terrible cramps every month, and God put enmity between us ...

Maybe read the book instead of using Google's AI ...

With my wife? ... absolutely ... she'd be worth the trouble ... right? ... Christians aren't allowed to commit adultery ... that's the part you're missing here, not having sex is perfect birth control ... no abortion ... simple ...

Who the hell is Timothy?

In the Bible, Timothy was a close companion and protégé of the apostle Paul, playing a significant role in the early Christian church. He is known for his missionary work, leadership in churches, and his relationship with Paul, who referred to him as his "son in the faith".

So some guy 1800 years ago name Timothy said it.

Beware of pretty faces that you find / A pretty face can hide an evil mind…” —Johnny Rivers, “Secret Agent Man”

That's probably all I have to say about that. Heh heh...

 

[Polishprince]

The average normative male doesn't want to hear some broad or she-male whining in the pulpit and just will refuse to listen to them.

Of course it is against the scriptural advice of Almighty God to allow priestesses, whether natural women or guys in feminine attire..

But its a piece of advice which is rooted in the basis of human nature.

No it doesnt. Your "gotcha" is feeble minded BS.

Thats Old Testament. Thats for people of the Jewish faith. Jesus the Handyman swept all that aside, and we are talking his religion, not Judaism.

The Apostle Paul was the biggest part of Christianity in the beginning. Until Rome took Christianity over and made it what they wanted it to be.

You cant help someone that doesnt want to be helped.

Do Christians follow Jesus or the Torah? Asking for a friend.

This is found in the new testament.
