“On whether Scripture permits a woman to preach”

God doesn't speak in riddles. From Genesis to the pastoral epistles the pattern never breaks. Adam was formed first and charged with headship. The priesthood was male. Christ chose twelve men as apostles. And when Paul sets the qualifications for elders, he roots them in creation itself, before the fall and before any culture could shape them.

That kind of consistency across thousands of years and dozens of authors isn't ambiguity. It's God saying the same thing again and again.

So "different interpretations" isn't a humble position. It's a way of suggesting God failed to speak clearly, and He hasn't. Women have served the church faithfully from the beginning, and Scripture honors them for it. But the pulpit belongs to the order God designed. The question in front of us was never what He meant. It's whether we'll obey. Respectfully responding back 🤝
