On the contrary, 1 Corinthians 14:35 "and if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the church" She is not under her pastors care but her husbands care. She is to ask her husband questions not the pastor. The pastor deals with the men and the men with their own families. Before God each men stands or falls for his obedient to the Lord in leading his family. This is of course assuming her husband is a believer. If not then she should ask the pastors wife for advice and the pastors wife could speak to her own husband about the matter. In the end, it doesn't matter what a pastor tells a woman. She is under her husbands headship and is to be obedient to her own husband. See Titus 2:5 Of course, this is not an excuse to go against what the Lord says. Sin

Do you know who brought this about? It wasn't God. It was feminist women who did not want to submit and thought they knew more then men. Please burn your bra while your at it. I do jot mean to sound harsh but that is the mindset behind it.
I encourage you to read Scripture and see what God says a woman is to do. It's more then sitting around twaddling her thumbs. Read Proverbs 31:23 and you will see that the godly.woman the Lord has laid out for christian women to be like is not known in the gates but her husband is. Political offices or any office for that matter is contrary to this. Yes the Proverbs 31 woman was industrious but this did not inerfer with her first calling. There are seasons of life and I would say her work is more in line with selling homemade goods at a farmers market or an etsy shop not supervising a bunch of men.
Also.Deborah was a punishment to Isreal. There was not a godly men to be found anywhere. There are godly men today. There is no need for a Deborah. More coming...
