No Bible verse exists that distinguishes roles between men and women. The Bible never states, “leadership is male” or “cooking is female.” By true definition, roles are interchangeable. Multiple people can do the job. Often cultural context determines whether a job is held by a man or woman. But when it comes to Christian leadership, some people have changed the definition of role, describing leadership as fixed, permanent, and based on gender.

Submit to one another...that was the example of Christ. That is also the goal of husbands and wives (brothers/ sisters). Did Jesus limit himself, deny himself, humble himself, put his Bride’s needs ahead of his own? Yes! When men and women exemplify mutual submission as in Ephesians 5, the world will take note. We become a humble, harmonious, darkness-shaking model of Jesus!

Very clearly Paul laid out the qualifications for leaders in the church. He described episcopos (overseers), deaconos (deacons), and presbuteros (elders). Such responsibility does not suit everyone. It requires high moral character. Let’s examine the requirements found in 1 Timothy 3:1-7.

God wants humble, godly teachers of truth to flourish. But in the pagan city of Ephesus, false teachers abounded in the church. Paul instructed Timothy to stop them. In 1 Timothy, Paul repeatedly mentioned the false teachers of myths and genealogies and used neuter pronouns to describe them - certain people, these, some, they. These neuter pronouns show that false teachers were both male and female. (See 1:3-7, 4:7, 5:15, 6:3, 6:9, 6:17-18, 6:20). Paul wanted all false teaching to cease immediately!

Some Christian teachers seek to limit women teaching the Bible because they claim women are more easily deceived. Consider, who began Buddhism? Buddha. Islam? Mohammed. Mormonism? Joseph Smith. Those three men have influenced the spiritual destinies of 2+ billion people. Both men and women can be deceived and can lead others astray! It’s not just a girl thing. It’s not just a boy thing. Deception is a human thing!

God does not consider the voices of his daughters in the Church shameful! This teaching grieves his heart. Where does the idea come from? In his pastoral letter to Corinth, Paul the church planter, corrects a dysfunctional church. Let’s dig into 1 Corinthians 14:34-40.

Observe Paul’s structure of 1 Corinthians 14:34-40. Paul structured this chiasm to help display unity and peace in the church of Corinth. Paul corrected the chaos caused by two main groups — Spiritual indulgers and Ascetic legalists. Paul first corrected the expressive Spirituals by limiting tongues, prophets, and inquisitive women. Then he corrected the Ascetics by setting free the same three groups.

The original Greek manuscript had no punctuation - no commas, question marks, quotations, or periods. This linguistic detail may sound minor, but it can make a huge difference in translation and the meaning of a passage.

The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit eternally share power and authority, with “none greater or lesser.” God is NOT ranked in a fixed, eternal hierarchy. Neither should men and women be ranked in a fixed hierarchy.
