The whole issue is who has authority in the local church. There is no qualifying scripture for women to do so as like the men have. The men are given the authority and role of leadership regarding preaching and teaching in the general assembly in the church. It is such an issue that 1Corinthians 14:34 uses such words as keep silence, not permitted to speak, to be under obedience, and verse 35, a shame for women to speak in the church. Verse 37 sums up the exhortation with "if any man think himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord". 1st. Peter speaks of a woman having a meek and quiet spirit- which is in the sight of God of great price, of which women should strive to attain, rather than to be in control and contrary to scripture.
I'm not here to debate female pastors. People who are pro female pastors have their minds made up. Likewise, people who are against female pastors have their minds made up. Debate is useless, and it rarely changes the opposing parties mind.
I agree that the Bible instructs women to cultivate a meek and gentle spirit. The Bible also tells men to be meek and gentle.
In that same chapter of 1 Peter 3, after Peter instructs wives to have a quiet and gentle spirit (some translations use meek. Some use gentle) Peter instructs ALL Christians (men and women) to be gentle to others.
But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 1 Pet 3:15.
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Eph 4:2
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Phil 4:5
to slander no one, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward everyone. Tit 3:2
Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Col 3:12
Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently.
Gal 6:1.
Paul practiced gentleness.
2 Corinthians 10:1
Jesus is gentle a.k.a meek. Matthew 11:29
Gentleness is a fruit of the spirit. Galatians 5:22
Moses was gentle a.k.a meek. Num 12:3
Gentleness/meekness is part of the Christian lifestyle. Men are not exempt.
BOTH men and women are instructed to be quiet.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be silent and a time to speak, Ecc 3:7
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires Jam 1:19
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 1 Tim 2:2
Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. Pro 13:3
make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business
1 The 4:11
Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent. Pro 11:12
Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues. Pro 10:19
Some like to remind women to be meek and quiet. However, there are men in the church (only God knows an exact number) who talk too much, gossip and slander.
John wrote about a man in the church, Diotrephes, who talked too much spreading malicious nonsense about others. 3 John 1:10
Another man in the Bible, Zechariah, spoke with such disbelief that God muted and silenced him - for several months. Luke 1:20
Not all or even most men are qualified to speak as in pastor and/or teach in the church assembly. There are plenty of men (and women) in churches talking too much and speaking words that do not glorify God or edify the body.
