Please, you're joking, right?In terms of standing before God, indeed, there is neither male nor female. But how do you handle the passage where man is the head of the woman, and Jesus the head of the man, and God the head of Christ?If you say it means source, it won't hold up (and it NEVER HAS for anyone who has used it). The implication is clearly indicates the meaning of having authority over. Christ is indeed the SOURCE of the Church...be as the HEAD of the Church, He most definitely is the one in charge.What a deep illusion grips us when we think that the greatest enemy of women are..CHRISTIANS??? Wouldn't you agree that the devil is certainly a greater enemy? Wouldn't you agree that even fundamentalist Muslims might be a greater enemy?But once you get bit by the politically correct bug, it causes people to make all kinds of UNJUSTIFIED leaps from the scriptures.Here's the TRUTH: There is no clarity in scripture that women should be in high church leadership. At the same time, there is no clear prohibition of such. Yes, the FAR GREATER WEIGHT of the scripture and Biblical example is for men to be the leaders of the church-at-large, but I don't think this is grounds for claiming that women CANNOT be in leadership. And I know that they eventually will be, but NOT because of scripture! But rather because of the ABSENCE of any scripture to the contrary. I do not seek to resist women in leadership. I ABSOLUTELY INTEND TO RESIST ANY ATTEMPT TO ACT LIKE IT IS A SCRIPTURAL OR DIVINE MANDATE FOR WOMEN TO BE IN LEADERSHIP.By the way, brotherjames, what a SHAME that in the 2000 years of the Church, God was apparently too busy with other things to send a clear message--even if by the hand of angels--to get the Church to stop this HEINOUS PRACTICE--worse even than the devil himself!--of not endorsing the plain fact that there is no male nor female in Christ Jesus. God needs to be punished for allowing 20 centuries to go by--ALL WHILE BLESSING THE CHURCH!
