What is the biblical justification for allowing only male pastors?

score:12

1Timothy 2:12-14 (NASB) says pretty clearly that women shouldn't be pastors:

12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.

13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.

14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression.

The verse I always was referred to on this subject is I Corinthians 14:34-35 (NLT)

34 Women should be silent during the church meetings. It is not proper for them to speak. They should be submissive, just as the law says.

35 If they have any questions, they should ask their husbands at home, for it is improper for women to speak in church meetings.
