I really appreciate your question— and what a great one it is! It’s a thoughtful one, and it’s obvious you want to understand what Scripture teaches.

When I look at the Bible as a whole, especially the book of Hebrews, what stands out to me is that Jesus completely fulfilled the role of the priesthood. In the Old Testament, priests had to offer sacrifices daily, over and over, and those sacrifices were never final. But Hebrews explains that Jesus offered Himself once for all, and His sacrifice was perfect and complete (Hebrews 7:27; 10:11–14).

Because of that, we no longer need a human priesthood to act as an intercessor between God and man. Scripture tells us that there is now one mediator between God and mankind—Jesus Christ (1 Timothy 2:5). He didn’t just make a way—He is the way.

What I find especially comforting is that while His sacrifice is finished, His care for us never ends. Hebrews 7:25 says He always lives to intercede for us. So we don’t have repeated sacrifices anymore, but we do have a living Savior who continually brings us before the Father.

From this perspective, the question isn’t really whether a woman or a man can be a priest—because Scripture shows us that a human priest isn’t needed anymore. Jesus is our final High Priest, and through Him we have direct access to God.

I hope that makes sense, and I really appreciate the chance to think this through together.

Men can't be mothers or nuns, what's your point? Some religions acknowledge there's a difference between men and women?

Some religions repress women, and some countries are worse then others but in the west, I'd say women have as many or more rights then men.

@Mcmarie90 How about things like medical research about women being more difficult in America because the word "women" have been added to a list of words that are excemt from certain literature and stuff? I don't really know a whole lot about it because I'm not even American, but it's just to say that feminism is important in modern countries too.

@Nightwings Equal rights for all is a noble goal, there's nothing wrong with that. That is also a good overarching goal and way to state it. But when you get into details, it's important to know the scope and context of the specific situation, and social media is not conducive to those kinds of discussions.

@Mcmarie90 I find that no one ever had a good time discussing anything even remotely political online. /=

I won't go to any church that has a woman leader. It is contrary to God's plan. God said to Eve "your desire will be to usurp your husband but he will rule over you". Men and women work best in a complimentarians not egalitarians.
It seems like you want it to be a mans world.
