1 Timothy 2:11-15King James Version (KJV)
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
Not surprising, most Christian denominations ban women from holding leadership positions within their churches. It's their job to shut up and be subservient, not be leaders.
This story is from a self-professed leftist tabloid.......lets just call it what it is. Trash.
I mean, Bryan Fisher....... a "prominent conservative Christian"??? Give me a break. Does anyone really know or care who this idiot is?
Have you listened to the video clip from Bryan Fisher??? Care to comment on his words?

Ha! Claiming Fisher is a "prominent" Conservative Christian is like claiming that Westboro Baptists are indicative of all Christians. It's absurd.I had to Google to learn that Fischer is associated with the American Family Association and is infamous for his claim that homosexuality gave us Adolph Hitler. :roll:

"If Trump Is Nominee, Evangelicals Will Stay Home Again:
What will happen when evangelicals realize that Donald Trump is anything but an evangelical?"Bryan Fischer, 1/26/16
Christians are duty bound to engage in the democratic process and choose candidates on a scriptural and moral basis."-Bryan Fischer, 2/1/16
"Trump's personal attacks on his opponents lacks presidential civility and personal character."-Bryan Fischer, 3/26/2016, on why Trump is not to be voted for, due to his lack of Christian knowledge, upbringing, and values.
"Look, I'm going to vote for Trump because he's a man."-Bryan Fischer, comments as per this thread's article.
Apparently our holy man sacrifices his principles regularly. Another full of **** Protestant evangelical voting for Trump.
Maybe most in the US, but mainstream Christianity here women are equal to men. My church had a gay preacher for nine years.
The crafted image of the ultra conservative moralist Christian has died everywhere but the Bible belt in the US.
Myself, I consider the "morality" teachings of the church to be antiquated and a result of the middle ages. Some people's simply never mature, and as a result, like all religions there are sects that get it wrong, and America's "evangelical movement" likes to like in the middle ages. Most of them I see worship money, not God
You're right that the bible belt is far, far worse about it than most other parts of the world. The Catholic church however is world wide and adamantly opposed to women in any major leadership role, i.e. priests. I'm glad your church is pretty enlightened.

That's not true. They are only opposed to the ordination of women. Women, occupy about 85% of the lay minister and staff positions within the Catholic church. This includes leadership roles such as: chancellor, chief financial officer, superintendent of schools and even senior pastoral roles like "pastoral life director". The only positions not open to women are positions requiring ordination.
There is even talk about allowing women to become deacons (probably won't happen), but the concept has been raised by Pope Francis.
