Give six reasons why some Christians are opposed to women leadership in the church today. (6mks)

The woman was the first to find into sin in the story of Adam and Eve.
According to Old Testament teaching the woman was considered ritually unclean during her monthly flow.
Due to African/Jewish culture influence where women were considered lesser beings.
Due to the misinterpretation of the second account of the creation story where a woman was created after man and therefore belief to be inferior/subordinate to man/misinterpretation of the Bible.
God is referred to as a He (Man) and therefore men are held closer to Him in comparison to women.
In ability to carryout duties continuously due to interruption (e.g) pregnancy, child birth, marital obligations.
In ability to women to work under strenuous conditioning/circumstances.
Basing on St Paul’s teaching where he says that women should be silent in church)1 Cori 14:34-36).
The argument is based on the choosing of the twelve apostles of Jesus where all men were.
