well, why is there woman preachers but not priest? whats the diff there?
I thought that Catholics could not have women as priests or "preachers"... I thought that preacher is just a term used by other denominations, umm non-liturgical churches for basically the same job as a priest. I don't know if they have to go to seminary school or what to get that job, but again probably depends on denomination.

This issue is a matter of interpretation, I guess. Personally, I have always taken the no women speaking in churches passages as applying to specific situations. Most people take the head covering one as specific, and I think this one applies too.You have to think about what was going on at the time. Women then were uneducated. They had never been allowed to participate or even attend in religious services. All of a sudden, they could. They didn't understand things, so they were asking questions. All these passages are saying is that one shouldn't disrupt the service when one doesn't understand what is going on. That is my take anyways.
I thought that the bible, being the words of god, would be more general considering that it should stay right and true till doomsday?
women bickering throughout the service could have been dealt with simply by asking them to shut up before it started. why the need for the "shutting up order" to appear as to be from god himself?

oh God. My friend read some stupid that made her beleive the same thing, along with that Mary Magdaline was in the last supper painting
ok, Jesus was not married. The only reason she might possibly be in the last supper painting is because I do beleive, it was her house they were eating at. and, lastly, it doesnt matter whose house they were at, Mary magdaline was nOT in the last supper painting, there are 12 MEN, in that painting, along with Jesus, and guess who they are? they 12 apostles!
Ok, and to answer Jackie Malfoy's question, I'm pretty sure that women cannot be preists in the Catholic Church because preists in mass are speaking in Jesus' place, and since Jesus was not a woman, presits are not women. I'm pretty sure thats the reason. I'll have to check it with my mom, cause she knows like everything there is to know about the church.
ok, Jesus was not married.where does it say for a fact that jesus was not married.
Claims have been made that Maria Magdalena wasnt a whore, she might have been of royal descendant and some women of importance, she was displayed as a whore by them that saw her and her followers as a threat to the society they were trying to establish so they kind of disgraced her by portraying her as a whore. This info isnt only found in the book by Dan Brown (The Da Vinci Code), it is actually found in different text and scriptures.
My friend read some stupid that made her beleiveso did my friend, it was called the bible.
this is the apostle in question John, looks feminine to me though

To me, at least, that one on the far right is CLEARLY a woman.

I don't see why jesus being a man should prevent women from speaking in his place. spokes people of both sexes speak for people of both sexes all the time. besides, they're only retelling his words, not his actual body.
