How does a woman SEIZE authority by force and without legal right or permission, when church leaders recognise that God has the authority to call her, accept her call, offer to train her and appoint her to a church - and the church willingly receives her and promises to support her ministry?
There’s no way out of these clear scriptures by trying hard to avoid them or change their clear meaning
Ephesians 5: 23. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. 24. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.”
Yes, but a Minister of a church is not the same as a husband.
As I said earlier, we can change our Minister, or change churches - or the Minister can resign or retire.
I could change my husband by divorce, or possibly murder - but let's not even go there.
Now imagine a family where the husband ruled well his own home and was a Ekder/overseer (1 Timothy ?3) and his wife was submitting to him and subject to him in meekness and a godly way. Then the church regularly met in his home and suddenly the wife took oversight and judged and corrected him in front of their children and the church, but during the week she did no such thing. Can you see the confusion that would bring?
Firstly, I am sure that a wise wife who loved her husband would not suddenly start judging and correcting him in front of the children and in the presence of other Christians. That hypothetical problem is not proof of what you are saying, nor a reason to argue against female ordination.
Secondly, there are men who do not rule over their own home - either because of character, or because husband and wife share things equally, or maybe because they work away from home, are in the forces/prison and it is the wife who has the day to day running of the household.
Thirdly, you seem to think that ruling over, or taking charge, means telling someone what to do and publicly correcting and judging them. A husband who loves his wife as Christ loves his church will not behave like that. And that is not the role of a Minister. My Minister cannot tell me where to live, what church to go to, what job to have, how much money to give to the church. My vicar could not tell me who, or whether, to marry, nor how many children we should have; if any at all.
The roles of husbands and Ministers are not the same.
