ive not read the whole thread yet, so ill post anyway, and if im repeating, sorry
should women be priests?
i don't see why not
the only valid reason is because the bible does not contain women preachers, and jesus never spoke out against this, so jesus must have agreed with it
while it is a valid argument, the bible was written by men, no women involved, so it will be written from a biased male stand point
and bearing in mind the culture of that day, women were not expected to teach, and were deffinatley not conciderd equal to men
so, i don't agree with "the bible shows women should not be teachers/pastors/preachers/priests" for the reasons stated above
and i can't think of any other arguments against women priests, though, if someone would like to present me with one, ill give it a go
