The Coach :
Let start with God created man first, He didn’t have to He chose to create Adam first. 2nd, before God freed Israel from Egypt, which they were slaves in for approximately 400 years, they were culturally conditioned to accept women, priests, women deities, and a woman Pharaoh during their time in Egypt. After God freed Israel, He told them the following Leviticus 18:3 “You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices.
You must not do as they do in Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, where I am bringing you. Do not follow their practices.” So God gives them customs and laws to follow, one of those customs was the priesthood. Exodus 30:30 Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them so they may serve me as priests. Aaron had daughters but God instructed Moses to make only Aaron and his sons priest. This had nothing to with sexism because of their 400 years of conditioning in Egypt they would have accepted women priest, but God chose a different way. Keep in mind the leadership had Moses (overall leader), Aaron (high priest) and Miriam (prophetess). All three had very important roles that were different but just as important. Point 3. Jesus showed up on the seeing and he’s turning the Jewish religious culture upside down. He’s reveals their man-made teachings or corruption of Sabbath observance, He deals with their bigotry and mistreatment of others. He even deals with divorce and the corruption that they brought to the temple. If there was a time for God to straighten them out about women leadership, it would have been then but instead, Jesus chose men to be His disciples. The culture that some seem to complain about, was established by God Himself. By the way, Deborah was judge of all Israel and the men followed her into war! She was a war hero!
