@MenechemShaul Why do you think that Paul switched to preaching to Gentiles, because he approved of the behavior of the Jews he began teaching after his call to the ministry? He wanted to reach more people, including women, but he also made it clear that wanted not to defy Jewish law. Paul sanctions the conversion of Gentiles in order to avoid Jewish law in part, to end prohibitions on his own ministry.

Gesù non ha ordinato donne!

Junia[s], Priscilla (Prisca) and Phoebe were are church leaders listed in the New testament (Acts 18 and Romans 16). There were women in leadership within the Pagan realm, however not in my Realm (Jewish). This is why Paul states what he does about women not speaking or teaching or having authority until they learned in private as they needed to learn,as much as the men did,how to be in Biblical Eldership!If you do not twist Scripture than I accept your authority if You are a Loopy liberal, nope

Israel is blessed ..Jesus lived there...it has served well but now hardly any Christian there now ..Armaniac is blessed Jesus spoke it but now no speaks it ..blessed are men because God became Man to show theThe Way...Men have served well but now it is time to give all souls including women to serve as priests.

Paul was probably pretty annoyed at whatever the women were doing in the church at the time (I suspect heckling or something like that).

@junmeskie

Ok, so that's what the (male) editors and writers of the New Testament want everyone to believe. Heh.

@Kaploeng

Tell that to the Protestants, and you'd probably get a lot of boos and hisses. In many Protestant traditions, all believers are priests of Christ. This includes women, too.

in other words, women are ALREADY Christian priests, so your point is false.

[DeantheNorbertine]

Priesthood is not a "right"....it is gift from God through His Church.

I get the feeling that this movement is worshipping "diversity" and women more than Christ.

Also - to rip the soul from the body is a gnostic idea. What about the incarnation? What about our incarnation? What about incarnational theology?

@gracestephanie I am glad to hear that. May your life in God continue to unfold and bring you, and others through you, much peace and joy. Servants of the Word are rare and valuable. May you be blessed for your service.

@motherclarewatts I started my theology training at first to know my faith better and to understand it along the way. In my journey, I have come to know God more and have opened myself up to know God more. I am nothing but a servant to the Word! I keep things simple when I teach theology and remind all those that it all points back to Christ. This is why I appreciate Justin's Trinitarian theology, I think we can learn so much from the Early Church Fathers.
