Does the Bible Forbid Ordination of Women? By Gordon H. Clark

Professor Gordon Clark’s article refutes the current arguments for women pastors and church officials. Clark writes, “If we accept Scripture as our norm, it is forbidden to seize one verse and misinterpret it to the detriment of other explicit passages. The more obscure must always be understood in the light of what is clear and indisputable. … In the New Testament there is no authority for or example of a woman elder or minister. And we are bound by the Scriptures, the infallible and only rule of church government. We dare not add, subtract, or alter.”
Where does Christ forbid the ordaining of women as priests or ministers? I can’t find anywhere in the Gospels where He does that — and He is the Authority.

The Scripture citations are in Clark’s article. Read it, which is why I post it. Scripture is the written word of God, and all Scripture is the authority for the Christian faith and practice.
