Men and women think differently. There’s no argument on that score. Consequently, it is entirely understandable if God wants to set up the church around a patriarchal structure to achieve His ends for the church. Jimmy seems to be falling for the heresy or apostasy of arguing that since Jimmy doesn’t believe that women should be barred from leadership roles then God either couldn’t have meant it or should listen to Jimmy more.
As I read the scriptures, you’ve got to do some pretty mean mental backflips to put women in the leadership positions. In fact, I cannot see anywhere in the text where any of the apostles or Jesus supported women in the leadership role (as opposed to other critical roles within the church), and plenty of passages in which women in the leadership role are a bad idea. Methinks Jimmy hasn’t opened his bible in a long, long time.
