[quote]...but placing a woman in leadership would violate Scriptures and God would never do that![/quote] God put Deborah in charge of an entire nation (Jdg 4:4). Also, if a woman can prophesy, which I think we all agree that women can (if you believe in prophecy, that is :) ), I see no reason why a woman can not teach men or be pastors, as prophets are higher in the order of authority than teachers, miracle workers, etcetera (1 Corinthians 12:28). [quote]"I think" doesn't count![/quote] Sorry, I didn't feel like repeating myself :P . Read all of my earlier posts. Most of them have scriptures. If not, then it will probably have historical stuff.
