So once more I'll point out that I'm reformed baptist. It seems to be helpful.
I am solidly
sola scriptura as a result, and as such do actually believe the Books of the Bible to be God breathed, and the message therein to be our basis of faith, and the measure of right and wrong.
It's fine to look at how we understand passages. I believe this is an important part of growing in knowledge and in faith..
But this is an issue that's not so clear cut... I've read the Bible in every translation, looked at history as well as the Greek and every argument on every side, and there's nothing yet to convince me it's not a sin.. There is a very large question mark around it and it's not so easy as to say that everyone who thinks it might very well be (or is) a sin is just an ignorant human being.
I'm not perfect. Far from it and I prefer to keep my failures of faith and obedience to things I really can't control at the time. Which means, I actually do attempt obedience to the things God asks my obedience in.
This is just another area for obedience. And until I feel absolutely certain in my understanding of this either way (although threads like this do really help that along), I'll not attend a church that has a woman Pastor, because I believe the Christian character of a Pastor to be very important, and if someone might be openly sinning they are out as a Pastor for me.
That said, I've looked at some of the women Pastors as well, heard what they are teaching and so far I'm far from impressed... as a matter of fact many/most of them would make excellent poster children for why women don't belong in ministry.
So, while I understand that we won't all agree on doctrine, and understand there are bad/horrific male preachers too, we do have to use all our wisdom and senses to attempt discernment of the truth of the matter.. and from what I've seen, it just seems a safer bet to err on the side of caution than to find myself lost on the wrong road.
