Southern Baptists narrowly rejected a ban on women pastors Wednesday. About 61% of the delegates voted for the ban, which is less than the required two-thirds supermajority needed to pass the proposal. CBS News' Lilia Luciano reports.

That is, "No religion, except for Christianity." The Bible teaches an incredibly high view of women. In marriage, you see it most clearly in Ephesians 5:25 (which was written by the Apostle Paul), in the gospel accounts of the life of Christ it's everywhere, in the Old Testament's Proverbs it's all over the place. In Genesis 2:18 we read that the man is insufficient in himself, and is in need of a helper, and so God creates a woman to be the only one who can be suited for that role. It's just all over Scripture. Women are held in amazingly high esteem in Scripture. So are men, and so are children. God does not esteem either of them over the other anywhere in Scripture. Just because He creates men and women with certain unique roles and responsibilities in their families and churches, each having their own freedoms and restrictions, doesn't mean that He doesn't see them as equal in value. He most certainly does. For anyone to say that Christianity is an anti-woman religion clearly doesn't understand what the Bible teaches on the matter at all.

@@najeemuhammad9739the scripture says it tho. It enables men and that view. Stop sugarcoating and allow women/girls see what the Bible’s says. It’s supposed to be raw and alienating

[@hifinsword]

@@Heyyoulady Starting with the King James version, the Bible is a translation of Latin, which was a translation of Greek which was a translation of Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke. As soon as someone translated from the original text, which no one has, you changed more than 1 JOT or 1 TIDDLE. Don't tell me what the Bible says about women. That was Paul's message to the church, NOT A DIRECTIVE from God.

In the beginning God called Aaron ,Moses ,Caleb The Levite etc to His sacerdoce Never God called women to be pastor of the church In the New Testament God called the 4 evangelists Mathieu, Marc, Luc, jean Never called woman to be pastor of the church However woman can be diaconesses ,prophetess never God give authority to woman to pastor This is man authority not Godoy need to be careful Baptist church Listen and read carefully the Bible Do not do what God don’t give you authority to do in His church It is not a joke It is sacred the word of God Avoid to not twist the word to give it meaning according what you want But it is always according what God want or say If you accept woman to be pastor it is you established it not God The husband is the ruler of the family not the woman Do not reverse the role Jesus is the husband of the church That is desobedient to God if you allow woman to lead the church

[@vickiwicker5765]

You need to expand your Bible reading. God selected Miriam, Deborah, Miriam, Huldah, and Noadiah as prophets. Deborah as both judge and prophet. The in the New Testament, Anna. But Paul mentions other women though not by name. Also, Lottie Moon and Annie Armstrong were venerated by SBs for years and years as great missionary leaders. This is just cranky old men straining at gnats.

The scripture against women teachers or leaders was Paul's personal ban, not God's. The Paulist and Petrine scriptures about women were about wives. A concordance revealed the original words. Nevertheless, bishops are exclusively husbands and fathers. The Adamic curse remains.
