“Don’t listen to women because they can’t correct men. Because that’s biblical.”
Remember when Apollos was like “shut up Priscilla, I don’t listen to women telling me what they think”?
Or when the king told Hilda, the prophetess, that he didn’t have to listen to a woman because then she would be stealing his role as king?
Or how the woman at the well was ignored by all the townspeople when she told them to come and see Jesus?
Or how about that time Barak told Deborah that he didn’t have to go to battle for God because he wasn’t feminine enough to listen to something a woman said?
I could go on.
No I’m not egalitarian. I spent two years defeating egalitarian arguments in a video series that takes over 40 hours to listen to. Women should not be pastors. Nor should they just do all the pastoral roles and merely call it something other than “pastor.” But patriarchy needs to be informed by biblical truth and will end up empowering women to do more than typical, worldly patriarchalists allow.
