What a question! The topic of female pastors can be a divisive issue, but it ought not to be. What God's Word seems to be saying is that women can have all but one role in the church. However, this does not mean women are inferior to men. Women and men are equal and perform best with their different functions and roles. Listen to Frank's explanation here.

The answer is NO. We don't need to dance around it lol
@OnagaChidinma Says:
Just wondering - are the Corinthians writings in "the Word of God"? If you agree with me that they are, then you will know that (Apos) Paul recognized Junia as an apostle, Phoebe as a deacon, and Euodia and Syntyche as church planters/Pastors. Salome (as in the Cave of Salome - the secret underground Church - founded by a woman, and she was the Pastor). They went underground to avoid Roman persecution (and death). Luke records her as "a Healer", not simply "a Pastor".
What's that you say - Galatians 3:28:
(KJV) "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus."
-- the original Koine Greek:
ἔνι οὐκ Ἰουδαῖος οὐδὲ Ἕλλην ἔνι οὐκ δοῦλος οὐδὲ ἐλεύθερος οὐκ καὶ θῆλυ πάντες εἷς Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ
-- Literal translation: "is not Jewish neither Gentile/alien is in not a slave and not free is in not and female all one The Messiah Yeshua"
NOTE: First, "male" was not there. Next "Greek" is mistranslated from Ἕλλην", which means "Gentile" or "alien" - meaning "any non-Jew".
We’re also told that there were “many others” [meaning, many other _women_ ] who not only followed Jesus around, but that they also supported Jesus financially, and were _Pastors_ . This is especially told in the [deleted] book of "The Gospel of Mary". It is not only a _shame_ , but many think it is "a felony" - that they omitted "The Gospel of Mary", "The Acts of Paul and Thecla", "The book of Enoch".
I find in _very hypocritical_ - that Christian will believe the "Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever" verse, yet believe that women CAN be disciples now (but _couldn't_ then). Additional note: God wants *women* to manage and nurture - the next generation (children). But women can't be trusted _talking_ to a group of people??
I have many pages of "Women as pastors" notes, but those are some of the basics. Also, when I even mention The Apocrypha (the books deleted from the Bible), people always "squirm" or say "those are *evil* books!", they are astonished when I inform them: Revelation, Psalms, Job, James, and Proverbs - were _in the Apocrypha originally_ . Over the 413 years that they changed their minds, and added/deleted from The Canon ("The Bible"), we just "accept" their decisions - which - again - *changed back and forth* . I will make _my own_ decision(s), thank you. :-)
To conclude, They omitted 4 of Paul's writings - including "The Acts of Paul and Thecla". When you read it, you will see why it was omitted - because it had many instances of women as Pastors. And even worse - "Christians" will justify that decision (to omit those writings) !!!

Genesis 3:16
16 Unto the woman God said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over you.
1 Corinthians 11:1-3 & 8-9
1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
1 Timothy 2: 11-14
11 Women should learn quietly and submissively.
12 I do not let women teach men or have authority over them. Let them listen quietly.
13 For God made Adam first, and afterward he made Eve.
14 And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result.
1 Corinthians 14:34-40
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.
38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.
39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
40 Let all things be done decently and in order.
Titus 2: 1-5
1 But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:
2 That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.
3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
4 That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Ephesians 5:22-24
22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
1 Peter 3:5-7
5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands:
6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement.
7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
_________________________
1 Timothy 3:1-5
BISHOPS
1 This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
1 Timothy 3:10-13
DEACONS
10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless.
11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things.
12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
13 For they that have used the office of a deacon well purchase to themselves a good degree, and great boldness in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
Titus 1:4-6
ELDERS
4 To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour.
5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:
6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

Frank has a wife and is walking a fine line - give him a break !… lol
@lawyer73 Says:
1. "Wives should submit to their husbands as to the Lord, for the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the church; he is the savior of the body. But just as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives to their husbands in everything. (Ephesians 5:22 , 23 and 24);
2. "Wives, submit to your husbands, as it is fitting in the Lord! (Colossians 3:18);
3. "So also women in decent clothes with shyness and clarity to adorn themselves, not with braids, or gold, or pearls, or expensive clothes, But with good works, as befits women, who are pledged to piety, A woman in silence should teach with all submission! And I do not allow the woman to enter, nor to rule over the husband, because Adam was first created, then Eve; And Adam was deceived, and the woman began to transgress. (Timothy 2: 9-14);
4. "And I command the married, not I, but the Lord, that a wife should not divorce her husband. If she does divorce, she should not remarry, or she should reconcile with her husband, and the husband should not divorce his wives! -( 1 Corinthians 7:10 and 11);
5. "Both an unmarried woman and a virgin take care of the things of the Lord, that she may be holy in body and spirit; and a married woman takes care of the things of the world, so that she may please her husband. (1 Corinthians 7:34);
6. "A woman is bound by the law as long as her husband lives; and if her husband dies, she is free. Let her marry whom she will, only in the Lord! But she is more blessed if she remains so according to my advice; and I think that I too I have the Spirit of God (1 Corinthians 7:39 and 40);
7. "But I want you to know that the head of every husband is Christ, and the husband is the head of the wife, and God is the head of Christ. Every husband who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies bare-headed, because it is all the same, as if it were cut head, because it is the image of God, and the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not made for the woman, but the woman for the sake of the man. That is why the woman should have a sign of authority on her head. (1 Corinthians 11:3-10);
8. "Women should be silent in meetings, because they are not allowed to speak, but to be submissive, as the law says. If they want to learn something, they should ask their husbands at home, because it is bad for a woman to speak in meeting (1 Corinthians 14: 34 and 35).

Copy! No senior pastoral leadership roles!
What about assistant pastors or associate pastors?
ie. small group assistant pastors, nursery assistant pastors.
@JayWalker200 Says:
Short answer,The Bible doesn't make sense because it was written by men!
@JoshNecto21 Says:
1 Corinthians 11:7-9 For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God, but woman is the glory of man
@JoshNecto21 Says:
The Answer is No . Why ? Because its written clearly in the Bible.
@dagwould Says:
As the modern 'pastor' has nothing to do with anything in the NT, I don't see the fuss. More to the point, why do we have the 'one man minister/pastor' role? Is it because we have yet to shake off the pagan 'priest' which transmogrified into the Roman Catholic priest? There are no priests but Christ! We are all servants of the church and the starting point for that is Galatians 3:28. You might also refer to Joel 2:28, 1 Cor 11:15, Titus 2:3 (older women teaching...) and the complete lack of sex distinction in the gifts in 1 Cor. 12.
@teluvv66 Says:
Men and women who are offended by the word as it is written need to renew their minds. The church is not a corporation. Every single person has a motive for why they agree or disagree with the word as it is written. There is no "senior pastor" in the bible.
@mcprofound717 Says:
This "pastor" is literally telling us that he doesn't know how to rightfully divide the Word of Truth. His answers are: some say this & some say that. The, doesn't know Scripture & twists the parts that he paraphrases. Sadly typical.
@Yertville1967 Says:
There is nothing in the Bible that say women cannot be pastors. The laws of the land in biblical times and still in some of the countries today treat women as weaker humans than men. Jesus says the the gospel is for all and not just for men. Jesus Christ is the church and he never scolded a woman for telling about Him. One day Jesus is gonna bust so many religious denominational bubbles and it’s not gonna be pretty. Not one time in Jesus teaching did he ever say women go home we are about to have a men’s meeting. He doesn’t segregate, and Jesus doesn’t discriminate.

@jersmith1486 Says:
It says there is no male or female, Jew or Greek, slave or free in Christ. Paul reprimanded Peter for showing partiality to the jews. He would reprimand teachers today who deny that women can be pastors.
@atlas3732 Says:
Women can teach,;women, young & children (Titus 2) in the same chapter are the qualifications of Elders and overseers(Pastor) as well as in 1 Timothy 3, there's plenty to against what he just said. He just lied through his teeth.
@ja1957 Says:
This is one of the reasons given for Paul's position on women not teach, nor to usurp authority over the man 1 Timothy 2:14 (KJV) And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. So it is obvious that this same reason would apply to all churches. There is a reason the serpent approached Eve to make his argument and not Adam. We were created with different strengths and weaknesses for different roles.

@aikozoe6598 Says:
1 tim 2 and 1 cor 14;35 in 1 tim paul talks about ONE woman who was not allowed to teach ONE man because she usurped authority over the man. no believer has the right to usurp the authority over the other. nor man nor a woman. paul used singular form in that passage and spoke about one specific woman. not to women in general. especially that just a few verses earlier paul was addressing the issue of modesty and spoke about women in general, in PLURAL form. God does know the difference between plural and singular.
in 1 cor 14;35 where it says that women are not allowed to speak in church paul meant that women were not supposed to CHAT (disturb by talking, chatting) in the church. a few verses earlier in that same chapter paul was saying in verse 26 paul says "How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying." - that means that each, whether a man or a woman is supposed to share a teaching, a revelation, or any other thing they receive from God in order to edify the church.
col 3;16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." - again, the same paul says here that we all are to TEACH and ADMONISH one another when we gather together.
also in 1 cor 11 paul (3 chapters earlier) paul talks about women praying and prophesying in church - so he could not mean in 1 cor 14;35 that women cannot speak.
most teaching on the subject of family and women's role are based on man's traditions and ignorance and pride, not on the Word of God. which is very sad.
additionally, pastor is not a position of authority not a title. it is a role and a function. being a pastor means you take care of the sheep, of other believers, help them in whatever they need you to do. you dont even have to teach others. you are a care giver.
also, in 1 tim 2;5 we read that there is only One Mediator between God and men. when you accept another person, another human being as your head, authority or a priest/pastor then you make that person an antichrist because they stand in the PLACE of Christ. the Lord Yeshu Hamashiyah said in mat 23;10 "Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ." there is only ONE AUTHORITY over us and that is only Lord Yeshu Hamashiyah.
the Bible says that husband and wife are one flesh so they are one head and they are both submitted to the only Headship of the Lord Yeshu Hamashiyah and they are to be submitted one to another (eph 5;21). when you look at people through their gender you look at them through their flesh... that is being carnally minded.
@aa77a86 Says:
Just cause you have an ability to pastor does not mean you are called to pastor. Just cause you have success in pastoring does not justify your means of being a pastor. In the temporal world are temporal laws and orders. The Holy Spirit gifts many but is an order in the gifts. Women in leadership roles in the church should be governed by men. Like it or not. If you disagree, and believe women should be pastors, then are you all right with women being the elders the and overseers where it is all women in the leadership roles.? Men were called to lead. Women are called to support. We are different and have different roles. Men can are made to handle physical a mental loads heavier than women and control emotions in higher stress than women, for the most part. God is spirit. May we worship him in spirit and in truth respecting the roles and calling god gives us. Blessings

Paul wasn’t. He wrapped it up in about two sentences.
@Meeko58 Says:
Women were told to prophecy, to be spiritual counselors, and were the first to see Christ ressurected. He has given women certain authority. Men were told to spread the Word of God to all nations, to lead, and to be the Head of the house, to build a congregation of believers. Together, men and women provide a unified deliverance of the Word and pathway to Christ. That's as far as I currently understand it. I'm still examining the scriptures and evidences, along with prayer. I know prophecy to be true, I've experienced it, and God has never lied to me about what He revealed. We must really put our full heart and mind into this.
@Wearethequestion521 Says:
That is completely impossible and ridiculous. Where you would think that this creation from God or sent by God. As you want to call it what you can actually name. Because you are finite, you are not infinite and you can even name the name of the source yet you're gonna make a being created equal to the source you can't do that..

I'm not sure why people are even debating if women should be senior pastors in the church, when THE CHURCH can't even get settled on which day is God's Seventh Day Sabbath...... People actually believe the Sabbath is on a Sunday, when it is very clearly Saturday........ The Church can't even agree on a basic directive and God himself COMMANDED us to do... So, trying to tackle something complex as women pastors seems odd to me..

I think women can teach other women and children but the pulpit is for the men. A pastor is a shepherd of the church and it needs to be a man. Women can be evangelist bringing people to the church and the task of nurturing the men spiritually is for the men.
@conceptualclarity Says:
Answer to What does the Bible say about female pastors?
I Corinthians 14:34 Let your women keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak; but they are to be submissive, as the law also says. 35 And if they want to learn something, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is shameful for women to speak in church. 36 Or did the word of God come originally from you? Or was it you only that it reached? 37 If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord.
I Timothy 2:11 Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. 12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
@jvlp2046 Says:
If we deeply study and analyze the Epistle of St. Paul to the Galatians (Gal. 3:28-29), which narrates, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither Slave nor Free, there is neither Male nor Female for all in ONE with Christ Jesus."
Q1?... In what ASPECT did the Epistle of St. Paul to the Galatians relate regarding "NO DISTINCTION"?... Answer... from the ASPECT of SALVATION only...
Q2?... Do the "Duties and Responsibilities" given to Man and Woman by God, have NO longer DISTINCTION in Christ?... Answer...NOPE... there are still distinctions between a Man and a Woman... Christ said, "Whomsoever DOES the WILL of my Father, is my mother, brother, and sister ... and will enter the Kingdom of Heaven."...
Q3?... What is one of the WILL of God (God's Prerogative)?... Answer... Women of Faith must/should learn to KEEP Silent/Quiet in total Humility and submission to the Church of God in Christ... just like Blessed Mary, who is Blessed among Women, found highly Favored by God and full of Grace from the Holy Spirit, even she is qualified to TEACH and PREACH, kept her silent/quiet in total humility and submission to the Church of God in Christ Jesus till her death...all "Women of Faith" should walk-on her set of example.
Q4?... If Galatians 3:28-29 covers all ASPECT of Equality (no distinction)... therefore, does this mean the HEAD of the Woman is no longer the MAN based on 1 Cor. 11:3?... Answer... Nope... Man is still the HEAD of the Woman SPIRITUALLY both in the Church and in Marriage.. while the HEAD of every MAN is Christ Jesus...
Q5?... Can "Women of Faith" do anything in the Church of God in Christ?... Answer... Yes, God created the Woman (Eve) as the BEST SUITABLE HELPER (not slave or servant) for man, she can help assist man with the distribution, collection, donation, and contribution to the Church, and she can also do the Church's Gospel Choir with musical instruments, etc... but leave the Church MANAGEMENT, TEACHING, PREACHING, REFUTING, DEBATING, CORRECTING, BAPTIZING, and making DISCIPLESHIP to the "MEN (Elder) of Faith" for the Church of God in Christ... Christ gave the KEYS to the Gates of Heaven to a Man named Apostle Peter and not to any qualified women...
Q6?... What if there is NO "Man of Faith" fit to be a Pastor/Preacher?... Answer... Have faith in God... God can make a way, when there seems to be no way... Prophet John the Baptist said to the stubborn Jews that God could make Descendants of Abraham out of the ROCK... the Rock is Christ, and that is why, Christians are grafted by God to the Real VINE (Christ Jesus) as the adopted Sons of Abraham... Perhaps, if there will be no more "Men of Faith," God will use a BOY (male child) to Teach and Preach the Gospel... impossible to Man but very possible with God.
In conclusion, the only TIME that there will be absolutely NO DISTINCTION in all ASPECT is after the JUDGMENT DAY of God... Those who will be SAVED will live the Life of IMMORTALITY, with no more distinction between Man and Woman, Ethnicity, Nationality, etc., they will not get married to have a family of their own, and no more procreation... We will be as ONE BODY in Christ Jesus living in the New Heaven and New Earth with New Jerusalem, forever... Praise be to God in Christ Jesus... Amen and Amen..
