Pastor Saeed Abedini says the Bible teaches that women should not have authority over men, warning there will be "chaos" if the biblical model is ignored in the leadership of the home, church, and country, the Christian Post website reports today (June 30, 2016).
Abedini -- who was released as a hostage in January after being held captive by the Iranian regime for three years for refusing to renounce Christianity -- quoted Timothy 2:12 in a Facebook post today, which states: "And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence."
The pastor -- who is now the director at Saeed Ministries -- argued that men should be the head of the family, the church, and the country. "God knows that every area of life needs leaders; in business, in the church, and in the home and country. Someone has to make final decisions so there is no confusion and chaos," he wrote.
He added that women are great leaders as well, and there should be equality between men and women, but in the end, men should be the ones making the final decision.
