Adventist Ordination Crisis

Are altered versions of Ellen White’s writings being circulated to make it seem she supported women’s ordination?

Does Ellen White warn against seeking a role or “sphere” different from the one we're assigned by God?

Did Ellen White urge the church to ordain women?

Would voting for a regional option create legal problems for the church?

Why should the Seventh-day Adventist Church resist pressure to eliminate role distinctions between men and women?

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 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?

What kind of speaking does Paul prohibit to women in 1 Corinthians 14:34 when he writes, “The women should keep silence in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate, as even the law says”?

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 is the significance of Paul's discussion about head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 for the discussion of the role of women in the church?

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?

Wasn't Eve's subordination to Adam in Genesis 3:16 a part of the curse, which Christ came to take away?

Did Adam “rule over” Eve before the Fall?

What are the implications of this for the issue of ordination of women to the headship positions in the church?

Are “equality in being” and “subordination in function” contradictory terms?
