But being a pastor IS, in actuality, a very prestigious thing to be if you are a Christian, correct?
​
Something you just don't seem to get about the Christian church schraf, is that no-one is in a prestigious position. We all have roles that we fill with the gifts God has graciously made us stewarts of. No one role is greater than the other.
​
Considering that there were no "pastors", per se back then, only Rabbis/learned men/clerics who basically made the laws and told everybody under them what to do.
​
The Levitical priests were in a very prestigious position much more so than the present day pastor.
​
Why is it so very difficult for some "modern" Christians to accept that this was simply the way women were treated back then, and that is why the Bible reads like it does.
​
Yes women at that time were treated much differently than they are now. Why is it so difficult for critics of the bible to understand that cultures were much different at the time and that is why the bible reads the way it does?
​
That is why the Bible says that a woman must subnit herself to her husband in all things.
​
Yes this is how it is, I made a very big mistake in somehow trying to reconcile this with human ways in my discussion with you. A Christian wife should submit to her husband in all things.
​
As to this discussion with women in the church, I sure wish more churches would follow the biblical doctrine that is very clearly layed out. If women have a problem in the church they should bring it to their husbands, and their husbands can bring it before the church. Women should only teach women and children, in the church.
​
And you say; Why?
​
BECAUSE IT'S BIBLICAL
​
This forum has really shown me that Christians are not following biblical doctrine, and they are making these changes in order to conform to beliefs of this world. That in and of itself is exactly what the scripture warns us of. I know I have probably been one of the worst, trying to reconcile God's ways with the ways of the world.

It is well to remember, however, that this is mutual submission.
​
Yes we agree woo hoo!

Anyone who has lived in a small community knows very well that the minister (or priest or pastor) is in a very prestigious position indeed. Maybe not theologically, but in the community and social lives of Christians it is surely undeniable?
​
I have personally never known of a pastor being a prestigious position, this is only personal experience. This does not mean in many cases it may be thought to be. Maybe I have just not lived in a small enough community as you say. This said pastors should not be thought to be prestigious. I apologize it may have been wishful thinking, it is not how it should be in the church. Note the church has never been perfect or Paul would have never written any letters.
