Summary: Scott Scruggs on 2010-11-28 : WTF / Why Does the Bible Say Only Men Should Lead the Church? Some Christians say God has given men and women distinct roles and responsibilities within marriage, family life and church leadership. Men are made lead and provide and women are made to support and nurture. Other Christians say God created men and women to complement each other but without any kind of intrinsic hierarchy based on gender. Both sides insist that the Bible supports their view. So what does the Bible say about gender and leadership and how does the life of Jesus affect this discussion?
