How do we know that women should not lead in church?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture reveals that God established a pattern for male leadership, with women encouraged to learn in silence (1 Timothy 2:12).

The directive found in 1 Timothy 2:12 highlights the biblical principle of male headship within the church. The apostle Paul reinforces this by referring to the creation order where Adam was created first and then Eve. This order signifies not only a divine hierarchy but also the protection of the church's unity and peace, as God's plan delineates roles for both men and women. Furthermore, Paul's letters often reflect an understanding that the teaching role in the church is to be held by men, aligning with God's design and avoiding confusion in worship.
