Recreating the scene:

If we now ere to try and recreated the crime scene here is how it went down:

God tells Adam not to eat of the fruit of the tree.

God creates Eve and bring her to Adam.

Adam tells Eve about the one rule.

Even though they are one flesh, Eve finds herself isolated and alone, Adam is not at her ide where he should be.

The greatest oppertunistic lion stalks mankind and sees an oppertunity to strik.

He oes so and puts doubt in Eve;s heart.

She resists for a short while, but ultimatly gives in.

Adam reappears from wheverr he was and even having recieved the commna dfrom God Himself, does not even question Eve’s offer, but simply takes and eats.

he then throwshis beloved wife under the buss to save himself.

I dont know about you, but i dont see any “gender” here who is not without blame.

After al, it was not Eve;’s deception that caused the fall, it was Adam’s point blank disobedience:

Romans 5:19 AV

19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.

I believe we have sufficient evidence for a case:

Eve was decieved because she went head to head with the Devil, lost and disobeyed her husband.

Adam was disobedient to God because he did not protect his wife, submitted to her offer.

Both failed.

Both sinned.

Both fell.

But that terrible fall which plunged all of humnity into sin and death could have been prevented so easily:

I ask now if you will agree with these statmnets:

Eve should never have gone head to head with Satan.

She should have submitted to his relaying of God’s command.

Adam should have been ahead of Eve against Satan because he had the command from a greater source than Eve did. And Adam should never have submitted to Eve.

Of this, everyone canm agree.

Let us retun to the question at hand:

Woman Pastors.

1: A pastor is literally a shepherd. And an intergrl role of the shepherd is to fend off wolves.

The pastoral ministry invloves regular demonic contact.

A woman in this position is simply recreated Eve’s loss.

Why do say that?

Federal Headship remeber: In the same way i would do what Adam did and fail like him.

Woman will do what Ev did and fail like her.

Wives should submit to their husband, as Eve should have submitted to Adam.

Husbands should never let their wives go aginst Satan, He is the head of the house and Satan should have to get through Him.

Husbands are not to submit to their wives without question, thats what plunged us into darkness.

The rules God laid down for men and woman has gont nothing to do with sexism, biased or unfairness.

The rules are there becasue WE NEED them.

They are for our PROTECTION not our DISCRETION.

And before we still say its unfair that a woman cannot be a pastor, God has some closing words:

1 Timothy 2:12–15 AV

12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Look very closly at verse 15.

Authority is granted to men to teach, but authenticy is granted to womn to do that which no man can ever do: Bring a child into this world.

As a pastor, i look at woman in utter wonder as to how God grants that gift and grace to them.

As a father, my child, the love of my life and that on earth which is most precious, i look at mypastoral ministry as a pale comparison to motherhood.

Why cant i have both?

Simple: God has chosen you to that which man cannot.

And God has chonsen man to do what woman should not.
