Hi Ikester, I'm not simply "believing what I want", I am well aware women have prophecised and still do. That's fine, that not actually what I was aiming my post at. I was mentioning the ordination of priests. Which started from Saint Peter and the other apostles, all of which were appointed by Christ, all men and for a reason until Christ Himself alters that tradition. Not one of them was a woman. Christ has His reasons and if He intended on any being women, He would have lead by example.

As for women preaching the word of God and prophecising, I see no issue with that, as the bible clearly indicates this has always been so. Women have strong positions in the church and to me it is not about ego, or status, it is simply obeying Christ and where best He feels our roles are.

Preaching/prophecising etc etc, we have many women who do both, as well as men, I can't see the issue with that at all. Biblically it's obviously fine.
