Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ
I'm not in a tradition with particular priests (we hold to the "priesthood of all believers"), but if I were, I would support any good priest, regardless. I take it priesthood is a spiritual function of humans, whereby, one serves both God and humanity. The good qualities of spiritual servants transcend that difference.
No, but neither do I support men priests, I support instead saints spreading the Gospel, for there is neither Male nor Female in the Priesthood of H’meshiakh.
The Way is narrow, step to the left or right (pro or con) and one steps off the path.
I prefer male ministers/priests, however, I think that when the archaeological and written evidence is examined with a critical eye it becomes clear that it was HIGHLY likely the first Christians had women in positions of "power", priests and certainly deacons.
Well, we do, but there is a long tradition of explaining it away. (This is not a bad starting point for people wishing to read more: Ordained Women of the Patristic Era - CBE International )We do not have any evidence of female presbyters or bishops.

It's probably self-evident that I support women priests.
But I want you to know: for every man the head is Christ, for a woman the head is her husband, for Christ the head is God. (1 Corinthians 11:3)Of course, those arguments about what it means to be "head" need an awful lot of unpacking...

So, the husband is the head of the wife, just as Christ is the head of the husband, and God is the head of Christ. That is, the wife is called to submit to her husband, just as we are to submit to God, and as the Word of God follows the will of the Father.
What exactly are they unable to explain?But I want you to know: for every man the head is Christ, for a woman the head is her husband, for Christ the head is God.
the tell being that none who lead and are lead in the churches/temples can explain the why of this ...
What exactly are they unable to explain?
Because women and men are created different. Men are stronger, smarter and more rational. Therefore, they must make decisions and manage. This is especially important in spiritual matters, where the degree of responsibility is highest.why Paul would not suffer a women to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
