I disagree with you on a number of counts.
1. The New Testament refers to ALL believers as priests...but that there are offices for ministry (giving of oneself for the Body of Christ as a servant leader)...apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers...commonly called 'the five-fold ministry'.
2. There is no New Testament justification for Church leaders to be forced into a life of celibacy. It recognizes that a very few from all walks are called to it (pointing out that a single individual has more of himself to give to the ministry than one who is married)...but it is clear that the vast majority of people are NOT.
3. The Word clearly shows women extensively involved in ministry...but that men are called to lead...this in spite of the fact that in the kingdom of God, there is absolutely no difference before God between men and women.
My two cents worth...
EV
Save blood, hormones and pregnancy leave for starters.
What is wrong with recognizing the fecundity and soft hearts of women as a blessing and leaving the combat duty and toeing of the line to men who are far more suited to such things?
Just as there is a natural division of labor between the male and female DNA in every first cell of every human being, so too there is a natural division of labor in human endeavors ... at home, work or in the Church.
What justification? There's no Sriptural justification for the former, or possibly the latter.
Except, of course, that the priest is alter Christus, another Christ.
That would be masculine...
