How should we feel about female pastors? I know the Bible is clear about women in church and their role in society, and I agree, but I don't want my views to stem from the fact that I'm a misogynistic incel. In other words, why should I feel strongly about female leadership in the church when I'm struggling with my own sin that's bigger? I'm naturally bitter towards the female condition to some extent and I don't want my religious stances shaped by my own faults.
Also, for those of you who agree with me on this, shouldn't women also keep their heads covered in church beyond just their hair? If we adopt one verse from 1 Corinthians 11 we can't just ignore the next.

Well actually not, they are just random people saying hsit they know nothing about.
If they really tried to be ordinated then yes it would be sacrilegious.

Let's see what St. Paul has to say:
>1 Timothy 3:2 - A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
From here we can deduce that St. Paul is hecking based and an ebil sexist. But in all seriousness, a preist is supposed to be a living icon of Jesus Christ and his bride is the Church. Having a woman be the icon of Jesus inverts who Jesus is literally satanic, sorry not sorry prots and having her being married to the Church which is always reffered to as Christ's bride is lesbian and sinful.
So, wahmens, please read your bibles and respect your Lord's commands.

It depends on the conotation you mean by heresy. I think false teaching is just as bad if sanctioned officially by the Church or not. On a very operational level, it disgusts young men to be told what to do by cool wine aunts.
I think 90% of the lay teachers on roman catholic schools are women, so no wonder young men think Christianity is gay.

I was raised in a protestant church, though I'm now looking into other denominations. At one point they had a female interim pastor, and sometimes they've had other women speak for certain parts of service.
What about females teaching informally? Gonna go about into my own story to explain my questions, sorry if I go off topic.
Growing up I was very lukewarm. I only prayed to ask for my own safety or selfish things like finding a gf. Yet because I went to this Church I was invited to a non-denominational Christian youth group. I admit the first time I went it was to look for a gf. But going caused me to become more genuinely interested in Christianity and I kept going for that reason. The youth group was run by a family that since left that Church for some reasons, possibly because the Church started allowing same-sex marriages. (The pastor said he would not do them himself, but he will allow them to take place within the Church building and the former interim female pastor will handle them. I don't think any have actually taken place though) Anyways this youth group did not strike me as modernist except for singing "modern Christian music", the guy used the parts from Romans about homosexuality for example. On the other hand, a few times his wife would be the one teaching the youth group, I don't think she enjoyed doing it that much but she was popular for being very anti"just feel good" Christianity. Nowadays I don't know what to think, yet if I had not gone to this youth group when I was younger I don't know if I would have ever been genuinely interested in Christianity and theology or if I would still be lukewarm or worse.
The church I grew up in also has had women teach the children's service that goes on separate from the regular service. I will admit that when I got older I started assisting with the children's service myself. I now have misgivings about children being separate from the main service and if having the children's service be taught by women then I'm worried.
Another cause for alarm is that during last week's service they did a thing where their pastor switched Churches with another pastor for a week. The guest pastor was a women. She had all the children get some water and flick it at everyone their telling us to remember our baptisms. Given what says I'm even more worried.
I'm concerned for the children, and I'm terrified that I either let something wrong happen or that I participated in it by assisting in a female-run children's service. Please pray for the kids, and the teachers, and the rest of the church, and for me.

Paul was bigoted and Jesus was open to everyone. Women can be pastors just like anyone else.(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST)

See, this is what I'm talking about. I agree that women shouldn't hold offices in the church, but I want to believe this out of faith, not out of edginess or bitterness like this fellow
There are other similar things that we are willing to ignore, like women having their heads covered. If you don't agree that women should wear hats or scarves to church, then you aren't really being logically consistent.

You go sister! You know who else eas a bigot? That Jesus guy! I mean, what kind of Holy Man resorts to so much anti-Semitism?:
Seriously, what. Bigot! We should just remove this Jesus guy all together so we can write in a female lead. This will teach that young girls can be empowered anywhere, and no ebil, biggoted, sexist, anti-Semitic, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, Islamophobic, biggoted patriarchal society can ever ruin our utopia ever again.
