Better equivalence: women prophets in OT lead to women prophets in NT, not women apostles

Were Women Apostles in the New Testament? Women in Ministry part 5 00:52:31 – 00:53:33

Mike argues the egalitarian logic fails on its own terms.

If you want OT-NT equivalence, women as prophets in the OT naturally leads to women as prophets in the NT — not women as apostles. The egalitarian move from 'women prophets' to 'women apostles' is a category error. This method of finding support in the OT for what cannot be found clearly in the NT is a bad Bible study method. Mike illustrates: should Moses directing civil affairs (including execution) mean NT apostles should start their own nation with their own laws? Soft typological parallels not grounded in clear teaching lead to error.
