uElders (or bishops) are to be the “husband
of but one wife” (1 Tim. 3:2; Tit. 1:5-6), limiting the
gender.
uAt 1 Tim.
2:12-14, women are not “to teach or to have authority over a man.”
This harkens back to the first humans, where Eve was
deceived, rather than Adam. Women elders or pastors
cannot help but to violate 1 Tim. 2:12-14.
