The Bible shows us in both the Old and New Testaments that men only, held the positions of spiritual authority.
Two thousand years of Church history has also confirmed that God's design is for men to take up the leadership responsibilities in the church.
Paul instructed Titus in his day to appoint Elders. In Acts 14 we see that Paul and Barnabas appointed Elders in numbers of Churches.
All Elders/ Bishops/Pastors and Deacons in the leadership of the Churches were to be male.
Men and women are equal in the sight of God but He has chosen to give us different roles. There are set roles for women in the Bible and there are set roles for men in the Bible. Who are we to argue with God?
Is the Church sexist when it recognizes differences in roles between male and females?
Should Social Reformers critique our Church cultures?
The Church should not be shaped by SOCIAL REFORMERS the Church is to be Shaped by SCRIPTURAL REVELATION.
If Scriptural Revelation goes against Social Reformations then weve got to go with God’s truth rather than man’s approval.
Unregenerate man must not dictate his ideal social norms and reforms to the Church.
Unfortunately the Church continues to drift from its Scriptural foundations as she allows the World to influence her in many areas.
