Adventist Ordination Crisis

What is Ellen White's relationship to this issue? Was she ever ordained?

If the Spirit has gifted a woman to preach, who are we to stop her ordination?

Is the authority of the Bible really such an important issue for Seventh-day Adventists?

What does the Bible teach regarding the role of women in the church?

Because our women haven't been ordained, has our church undervalued their work and treated them unfairly?

Why does Paul appeal to Adam's being created before Eve to justify his injunction that women should not be permitted “to teach or to have authority over men” (1 Timothy 2:12)? Is it arbitrary to assign leadership on the basis of priority of creation?

Does the Bible clearly teach that a church elder should be a man and not a woman?

But most of the people I know (many of them, anyway) are in favor of ordaining women as elders or even pastors. Shouldn't this count for something?

Why does Paul forbid women to teach as leaders of the congregation?

Is it true that Paul's argument about the priority of Adam's creation (“For Adam was formed first, then Eve,” 1 Timothy 2:13) is faulty because it is based on the wrong Creation account (Genesis 2 instead of Genesis 1) and because it attaches significance to the fact that man was created before woma

What evidence is there for a “structure” in the relationship of the man and woman before the Fall?

Does Mrs. White say that Eve was Adam's equal before the Fall and that only after the Fall was Adam to be her ruler?

Is Gen. 1, where man and woman are presented as equals, more trustworthy than Gen. 2, where the woman is subordinate?

Can Joel 2:28 settle the issue for us of men and women filling the same spiritual roles?
