It does not surprise me that the Bible has passages that support the male domination that was so common when it was written. The surprising thing is that there are all of these references that open the door to the feminine as well as the masculine. For me, it's a question of whether we are to be exclusive or inclusive in the Kingdom of God. There's a place for exclusive groups like the Elks, the Moose Lodge, or the Daughters of the American Revolution. But exclusive is not the word I like to use for things of the Kingdom of God.
Some churches exclude people for a number of reasons.
If you are a divorced person in some churches, you are not welcome in leadership. I don't want to believe that. Some say our church is a country club church, and that if you are not in the country club, you are not welcome in the leadership of this church. I don't want to believe that. Some say our church is a white collar church, and that if you don't work in a white collar job, you are not welcome in the leadership of this church.
