Paul said, in one of his NT epistles, that he did not allow women authority in the Church. Yet GOD appointed Deborah a Judge, both spiritual and secular ruler of Israel, and when Josiah found the old copy of the Torah, it was the prophetess Huldah rather than Jermiah whom he asked what to do about it. So who is right, God, Whom scripture tells us made several women prophetess' and spiritual authorities, or Paul, who says in scripture said he did not allow women ANY spiritual authority? Typically, I tend to side with the OT prophets who DID represent their canonized words as divinely inspired over the NT apostle who just as explicitly stated—in scripture—that a number of his scriptural statements wree NOT divinely inspired.
