Two egalitarian views on women apostles

Were Women Apostles in the New Testament? Women in Ministry part 5 00:01:07 – 00:02:08

Mike outlines the two egalitarian arguments that will be addressed in this video.

Egalitarians argue: (1) there were women apostles and apostles hold the highest teaching/authority roles, so women cannot be forbidden from teaching and authority; (2) the reason Jesus did not have women apostles was cultural, and some say he did have women apostles. Egalitarians use this to reinterpret 1 Timothy 2 and 1 Corinthians 11.
