In this paper I will prove the following thesis, namely that: female ordination is diabolic because 1) it rejects the authority of God’s holy Word and is invalid and impossible; 2) it is a Satanic mockery of Christianity and a reproach upon Christ and His Church and 3) it is pagan and leads to damnation. Before denouncing and repudiating female ordination on the basis of God’s Word, it is good to speak of the wonderful and true role of women in the Church according to Sacred Scripture. While men and women are equal in receiving Christ’s love, acceptance and grace, each gender has specific roles in the family, in society, and the Church. We all have different gifts, callings and graces, and no one is better or more beloved of God than anyone else. But these talents must be used according to God’s standard, not our own. Demonic teaching must be rejected in the Church, doctrine that is contrary to our Lord’s divine deposit of faith contained in Scripture.
Women are called to be mothers, home-makers, teachers, business owners, skilled labourers, ministry partners with pastor or deacon husband, missionaries, religious sisters, maternal supporters of the Church. Scripture details God’s expectations for Christian women: “The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; that they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed” (Titus 2:3-5). God clearly calls Christian women to get married, have children, and take care of their families at home. Instead, some women believe themselves to be deacons, priests and bishops. They are obviously deceived and living contrary to Scripture. They belong to a pseudo-Christian environment that resembles a pagan cult rather than the New Testament Christian Church.
The Protestant Church has been haggled and decimated by the impure rise of Women’s Ordination (WO). This doctrine of Satan has entered privily into the Church, corrupting the hierarchies and bodies of some of the greatest Protestant churches once in their prime, such as the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, the Anglican Church of Canada, and obviously the Reformed and Protestant Church of England. Many churches have become Synagogues of Satan because of allowing Jezebel to seduce and corrupt the people of God. Only emasculated bishops and priests, and biblically illiterate denominations would accept WO knowing that the wrath of God is towards such impiety. A large part of the Protestant Church has rotted away into a dark, sinister, far-left, liberal, and woke sphere of existence. Such churches are rarely attended, praise be to God, because Christ is not present in their churches. Their candlesticks have gone out and God’s grace has been shunned and quenched. The fact remains that female ordination wasn’t even in the psyche of Protestant Christendom until really 1950. Women even still wore head coverings to church in the West at this time and respected traditional gender roles. You will hardly find female clergy in any hierarchy of any Protestant church until the 1960’s, far less a mainline, unless you examine radical, break-away anabaptist groups that made a deal with the Devil in the mid-19th century or you look at Pentecostal, Methodist and Wesleyan bodies.
Female ordination whether to the diaconate, priesthood or episcopate is forbidden; null and void; irrevocably invalid according to Divine decree. Such a practice can never be tolerated in Christ’s Church because the Holy Ministry according to Divine revelation only pertains to men (whether married or single). The Head of the Church, our Lord Jesus Christ, has forbidden female ordination, as testified by the divinely-inspired apostolic injunctions against even the thought of such a sacrilegious and demonic rite. There is no room for female ordination in God’s Church because the Church follows Christ in Scripture and not the pattern of this world or the winds of false doctrine or practice. Therefore, those churches that practice female ordination are fighting against God and have become enemies of the Cross. The Apostle Paul urges us to: “mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple” (Romans 16:17-18). The Holy Universal and Apostolic Christian Church has never ordained women to the diaconate, priesthood or episcopate and never can because it is forbidden and impossible. Any church claiming to be a member of the one, holy, catholic and apostolic church with a roster of female clergy is lying, far from God, and must seek genuine repentance and conversion.
First, the Word of God explicitly condemns female ordination. God has spoken once and for all that female ordination is an impossibility in His Church. Women who have been ordained have not received the office of the Holy Ministry, because this office only pertains to men: “A bishop must then be blameless… the husband of one wife…” (1 Timothy 3:2); a man who keeps his household under subjection with gravity and desires the office while meeting the qualifications for ordination (cf. 1 Timothy 3:1-7). Female deacons, priests and bishops have an invalid and blasphemous non-ministry that is uprooted and annihilated by Divine Anathema (Galatians 1:6-9) because Scripture prohibits women to take up the office of Word & Sacrament. Thus they are preaching another Gospel and another Jesus by another spirit through their wicked rebellion (2 Corinthians 11:4). Our Lord never sent women into His vineyard to preach, celebrate Holy Communion or baptize. These ministries are confined to the ordained office of the Holy Ministry. Yet our Lord did send 72 disciples to heal, cast out demons and preach who were all men, chose Ananias to baptize Saul, and chose 12 Apostles who were all men. The women supported the ministry and traveled with the dominical group, but they never publicly preached or administered rites of healing or exorcism. They understood full well, having come from the Temple system, that religious duties belonged previously to the Levites and now to the Apostles, all of whom were men. All the Priests of the Old Covenant were men, the patriarchs were men, and God’s ruling prophets were men. Godly women are remembered all throughout the Bible for their virtue, holiness, strength in weakness and meek characters.
The Apostle Paul forbids women from receiving teaching and pastoral authority in the Church as a deacon, priest or bishop: “But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence” (1 Timothy 2:12). Women cannot spiritually govern men as a Bishop does his diocese. Instead of preaching, lecturing, teaching or leading the congregation in Bible lessons, as men alone are called to do, women are taught to be silent during church with their heads covered and to listen to their pastors with humility and diligence, and to ask questions later on at home instead of interrupting or chatting during worship: “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law… for it is a shame for women to speak in the church” (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:34-35) and “every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven” (1 Corinthians 11:5). You can see from the former verse that women are not prohibited from all speaking in church, for they can pray or prophesy; but from public preaching and teaching in the role of bishop, priest or deacon they are excluded. Likewise deacons should have one wife (1 Timothy 3:12), which necessitates the deacon being a man, unless, like many pro-WO churches, homosexuality is also sanctified and approved of which only adds to the abomination.
Second, St. Peter tells us that judgment begins at the house of God: “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” (1 Peter 4: 17-18). God’s judgment is upon churches that have forsaken His Word by promoting female ordination. Knowing that the sacred diaconate, priesthood and episcopate is limited to men alone, such fallen churches have brought reproach to Christ’s Church and Holy Name. They have abandoned the faith once delivered and have become apostate: “For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them” (2 Peter 2:21). Satan knows full well that God has ordered His creation according to male patriarchy. The headship hierarchy is as follows: God > Christ > Man > Woman > Children (cf. 1 Corinthians 11:3-16). When this order is subverted, men try to become women and women try to become men, as we are seeing now in the fallen West. Improper catechesis in biblical anthropology and gender roles leads to thinking that men and women can ontologically operate in the same offices and callings with the same effectiveness. According to God’s law this is delusional. Men will never be women and women will never be men. Men will always be fathers, bread-winners and pastors. Women will always be nurturers, followers of their husbands and help-mates. It’s really simple unless you reject God’s order of creation and His established roles, callings, offices, rules and traditions in the Church.
Third, WO is actually pagan in origin and thus serves the agenda and worship of Satan and his demons. If you study pagan religions you will always find a cult of female prostitutes serving the shrines of their idol-demons. A sacerdotal ministerium and male patriarchy founded by God’s will and commandment in the theonomy of Israel was foreign to the conception of such witches and harlots. Therefore the Christian testament to God’s will and commandment for His creation whether in the home, Church or in society to be governed by a male patriarchy and New Covenant male clergy is repugnant to those seduced by false religion. Covens are full of evil women who hate men and want to destroy God’s order of patriarchy in the world at large. Men are seen as imbeciles and weaklings who must be subordinated to the desires and whims of women who rule over them. Scripture speaks of God’s judgment on a society when women rule: “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths” (Isaiah 3:12). Destruction befalls souls in the Church and in society when women begin to usurp God-given roles belonging only to men, such as fathers, pastors, presidents, policemen and soldiers. An egalitarian community is divided against itself and cannot stand, because God has ordered His universe in a matchlessly wise, perfect and proper way. The rise of neo-Marxist feminism and calls to overthrow the patriarchy are a symptom of fallenness in the Church. The willingness and cowardice of bishops and priests to support heretical women that want to be ministers is truly shameful and reprobate. Establishing WO in a province will bring its downfall and ultimate damnation. Jesus died for our sins, not so that we can continue in wickedness, but so that we can turn and repent, and live according to His Word of righteousness.
Thank You for calling out WO along with GOD’S WORD!
This is really good, fair, and right to the point. Thank you, pastor.
