Women preachers/pastors/priests

[Anti Federalist]

So let me ask you this... what is it in Romans 13 that shakes you up so much?

What "shakes me up" is that you want it both ways.

When Paul says women are to be quiet and still, and submit to male leadership in the church and home, we are supposed to blow it off as "you're not reading it right".

When Paul says that anybody who resists an earthly government, regardless of whether that government is good or evil, we are supposed to take his word at face value and submit.

Romans 13: 1-2 KJV -

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

There.

The "powers that be", are ordained by God himself.

Resisting them earns one damnation.

So you can't have it both ways.

It either is, or is not.

Now, personally, I think Paul is full of $#@!, and will happily disregard what he has to say, regardless of how I feel personally about putting woemen in leadership positions.
