Zone1 Why does Christianity allow women priests and preachers?

[Zincwarrior]

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.

Not Jesus.

Who the hell is Timothy?

 

[Zincwarrior]

This is found in the new testament.

Not Jesus.

 

[TNHarley]

Not Jesus.

Correct. It was the Apostle Paul. The biggest influence of early Christianity.

I would say Jesus was the biggest influence of early Christianity.

 

[TNHarley]

Jesus didnt say a lot of things. According to zinc, that means it does not apply.
So everything in the bible that wasnt spoken by jesus directly, should be ignored.

Jesus was dead.

Now you get it.

If God didn't want women to preach, why'd He make them so damned talkative?

 

[TNHarley]

Now you get it.

So, christians should ignore the prophecies they think proved jesus was the messiah? Since jesus didnt say them?
Should they ignore the ten commandments since jesus didnt present them?
Should they ignore the book of revelation?
Congratulations moron. You just started a new religion

Yep. Only what Jesus said matters.
The only commandment that matters:
"do unto others as you would have them do unto you"
דַּכֵּי לְחַבְרָךְ כְּמָא דִּתְהֵין לָךְ לְחַבְרָךְ

Sometimes I wish I didnt have the dignity or honesty to not just make things up. Oh wait, no I dont.

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

The Bible is the inspired word of God, so if it's in the Bible it's from God, direct quotes are not needed.

Written by mere men.

So, it was inspired by God his words!

I like the part about the whale.

Strange that eating pig is bad in part of it but good in another. Which one is the inspired part?

Just one aspect of a lying Cult Organisation .

The early Cult leaders were influenced heavily by Peter and Paul who deliberately wrote down the importance of women with the oaf Peter generally known to be a mysogonist heavily involved .

It was the Magdalene who , with the wife of Lazarus , bank-rolled the Essene Monk and his followers .
But the jealous scum bags gave her no credit and invented deliberate lies about her .
She had her "revenge" whan she and the Essene married after the rescued crucifixion and they had two boys and a girl before their divorce -- he to then preach across Asia Minor and she to settle in southern France .

All heavily influenced by Roman attitudes and then later by the AD 325 Constantine Nicean re-writes , deletions and ommissions .

Of course the present Cult reject all of this unsurprisingly .

The bible clearly states that women have no business in those roles.

It is true. My church does not allow women as ministers or elders, although we can teach a ladies' Bible study, children's classes, and serve in other roles, including as deacons.

It's the healthiest, most God-centered church I've been a part of.

But Christians go wrong when they think women cannot be in any position of authority OUTSIDE the church.

Mine has women priests.

Let's talk.

Show me where the Bible says women have no business in those roles.
