Could you expand your reasons for this please?
I agree that women are just as capable as men, and i believe in gender equality. But the bible never mentions females as minsters or priests and in the bible the only discpiles Jesus had were males. ??
Then who was Mary Magdalene?
Mary Magdilan was not a discipile she was just a woman who washed jesus feet, how does that make her a diciple!!!
By your definition not a disciple, but as very many Blblical scholars agree today, she was more so. She was his wife and as so the source of the Holy Grail.
That is complete rubbish. Jesus was never married or had an sexual relations of any sort, to imply that he has is offensive and blasmphous, and mary magidinal was nothing to Jesus, he saw her once when she washed his feet but that was all. Why does everybody make such a big deal of Jesus met many people in his travels and i dont see everyone saying they were married or anything. Lol Im geusing you are Catholic to think this, no offence but im not a big fan of what they teach. !!!!!!!
Hey bud, cool off your hot blood this was a friendly discussion. Don't climb on me when you get an answer you don't like. And no, I'm not Catholic, far from it. I'm a North American Indian, and have spiritual beliefs beyond your scope of understanding. Happy trails.
haha sorry i did not mean to bite your head off, im not certain of north inidian belifs but i respect it !! : ).
Mary M. was not the wife of JESUS, Jesus was God wrap in human flesh. Sin entered into the flesh therefor it had to be defeated in the flesh. God who is Jesus had no need of a women, he made woman to be a helpmate for man. Glory be to our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
They probably will, but no church should as it is strictly forbidden in the Holy Scriptures,as also FORBIDS a woman to take authority over a man.All you see on TV & else wheres of woman preachers calling themselves pastors...GOD NEVER CALLED them,so guess! If God is not in it then who gives them their powers,healing,etc? The anti-christ is building his empire!
My brother in Christ where is it written in the scriptures that a woman is not to leads souls to Christ, Book, chapter, and verse. just want to know ?
Dear Bro, surprised you don't know this so hope it helps.It is in 1st Timothy 2:11,12 and below it gives Qualifications for Decons ans scholars feel by cross references that it fits pastors and it states must be a man & gives qualifications many so called "pastors" ignore when leaving wife for another & continue holding as a pastor.I became dis-qualified when my wife ran off with another man,but remained in His service under leadership of a pastor.
No it is against the religion. The priest is suppose to represent Jesus the Christ who was a man. So the only person who can represent him is man, therefore women should never be able to become a priest.
I'm not saying i agree or disagree it's just the way the religion is set up
Jews have female Rabbi's (So all Christian churches should too).
The Jews are the chosen people, the Bible says only they are going to heaven (12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel), but Jews don't believe in heaven or hell.
All forms of Christianity are sects of Judaism, they worship the Jewish God (Jehovah), follow a prophet who was a Jew and a Rabbi (Jesus), Christians believe that the Old testament is the word of God, what they are looking at is a cut-down version of the Torah (Like a bible, but Jewish and much, much older and more accurate historically).
The new testament used to have a lot more in it but over the years the church (Catholic) made many alterations, cuts, editing, and downright changes to it, so that it was less Jewish and centered around men, there used to be a lot more gospels (including from women and Judas) that didn't fit, check out the Dead Sea scrolls, the Catholic church doesn't want you to believe any of it.
An example of poor editing is the discovery of Jesus' open tomb by the four major apostles, their stories hardly agree on anything!
Jewish accounts say that Jesus had older siblings making the virgin birth a Christian addition later on, that Jesus was tied to the "cross" (not nailed) and let down after three days still alive and the the "cross" was actually a Y shaped tree and not the classic cross design. It also lists a number of "Messiah's" (perhaps as many as 8!) before and after Jesus. They had virgin births, stars, shepherds, wise men, disciples and were martyred in one way or another.
I noticed you lost your temper with another person for making a simple statement of their opinion (which you asked for), well here is my opinion (based on facts, go check) and now I wait for the inevitable onslaught of unchristian attitudes and attacks from Christians who don't even know how to behave like one.
Those charged with oversight of a congregation are described in the Bible as being males. The 12 apostles of Jesus Christ were all males, and those later appointed to be overseers and ministerial servants in Christian congregations were males. (Matt. 10:1-4; 1 Tim. 3:2, 12) Women are counseled to “learn in silence with full submissiveness” at congregation meetings, in that they do not raise questions challenging the men in the congregation. The women are ‘not to speak’ at such meetings if what they might say would demonstrate lack of subjection. (1 Tim. 2:11, 12; 1 Cor. 14:33, 34) Although women make valuable contributions to the activity of the congregation, there is no provision for them to preside, or to take the lead by instructing the congregation, when qualified men are present.
At Pentecost of 33 C.E. holy spirit was poured out on both men and women. In explanation, the apostle Peter quoted Joel 2:28, 29, saying: “‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I shall pour out some of my spirit upon every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams; and even upon my men slaves and upon my women slaves I will pour out some of my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.’” (Acts 2:17, 18) In like manner today, women properly share in the Christian ministry, preaching from house to house and conducting home Bible studies.—See also Psalm 68:11; Philippians. 4:2, 3.

This is how the describes women's role in the congregation.

While it does establish that God values dedicated men and women equally, it nonetheless assigns men and women different roles in the congregation. (Galatians 3:28) Galatians 3:28) It is put this way by 1 Corinthians 11:3: “While every man has Christ for his Head, woman’s head is man, as Christ’s Head is God.” concerning formal instruction before the congregation, Paul was divinely inspired to write: “A woman must be a learner, listening quietly and with due submission. I do not permit a woman to be a teacher, nor must woman domineer over man.”—1 Timothy 2:11, 12.
This should be no cause for frustration to Christian women, however, for they are free to teach in the public ministry as did such women as Lois, Eunice, Euodia, and Syntyche in early Christian times.—Philippians 4:2, 3; 2 Timothy 1:5.

That would be true, i personal think it is disgusting that the vatican supports those priests with child-assult charges. The pope should be ashamed. !!!
