Lin,

I disagree with your premise that ’someone’ should ‘lead’ or ‘run’ the Body of Christ. We tend to leave out the Holy Spirit. Godly Overseers are going to look like Matthew 5.

I fully agree with your comment to Mark. Godly Overseers will serve the body, not take their authority over the body.

But what is ignored the most by non egals is the fact that there is no law prohibiting women from teaching or leading men in the OT. But they want us to believe that the Word is more prohibitive toward women after the Cross when it comes to proclaiming the Word to anyone reqardless of sexual organs. (No offense, but that is how silly it really is. In Christ, there is no male or female)

This is something that I have not yet seen adequately answered. Why no “law” in the OT that held women back to a non-teaching “role” towards men?
