Bible Discussion Thread

Hello Jun Anlversario and Chinaza If a Priest is equivalent to a Bishop then I agree that women should not be made a Priest or a Bishop. In 1 Timothy chapter 3 gives the qualifications of a Bishop and Deacons. Bishop is a man of one wife. However, when it comes to other offices in the church women can hold those offices. When I look at Pricilla she would be considered a Pastor or Evangelist or Teacher, not a Bishop or a Priest. How women started asking to become Priest and Bishop is due to a Lesbian who thought of herself as a man and wanted to hold the office of a man. It started in the Catholic Church if I am not mistaken. So to me if they are not going to recognize a woman as a man then why put her in the position that the qualifications call for a man to hold.
