Your apologetic is faulty because you take a few verses and run them without regard to context. The context of the entire New Testament is that men are designated leaders. The noun and adjective endings of world related to the duties of pastors and elders are all masculine. There is nothing anywhere in the New Testament that sanctions women pastors.

Women had significant leadership roles in the New Testament. Priscilla, the fast friend of Apostle Paul, was a woman whom I can only admire. She was so well grounded in Scripture taught by Paul, that she and Aquila brought Apollos, who has been called the Golden-Throated Orator of the First Century Church, to their home to teach him the correct interpretation of Scripture. (Apollos was teaching and preaching based upon the teachings of John the Baptist, which were incomplete because John the Baptist was martyred before the Crucifixion and Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ.)

Priscilla risked her life for Apostle Paul. She was a brave, significant woman whom I look forward to seeing Heaven.

She was not a pastor.

I know that you apparently latch onto revisionist teaching that somehow maneuvers women into pastoral leadership responsibilities. To come to those conclusion, one would have to ignore completely the principles of of sound Biblical exegesis. In other words, you can't get to women pastors from the New Testament.

There is nothing anywhere in the New Testament that sanctions women pastors.

Does this apply to the other four folds of ministry as well? Or does it only apply to pastors?

Incidentally, Priscilla actually helped run a church out of her own home.
