>Why were the apostles all men?  

You are wrong there...watch

Romans 16:7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my
fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in
Christ before me.

Junia is a female name...you might say what about Aquilla, well, I have a
literal translation of a NT into German and there Aquilla is called
Aquillus (which is the male Latin ending) but Junia, stays Junia and they
are of note among the apostles...to me that means that there is a female
apostle. :) There are many women in the bible that were teachers and
preachers....I looked up the meaning of the word prophetess and a prophet
is someone who speaks the word of God, who teaches and who preaches...hmmm,
and your sons and daughters shall prophecy. Priscilla together with Aquilla
taught Apollos. There are many others in the NT ... I think it is okay for
a woman to preach and teach...however I personally have a problem with
women pastors, cause they cannot be the spiritual head of their husbands
but them going to the same church where she is the pastor she is in
authority over him...that is not scriptural. Actually, I just wanted to
tell you about Junia. God bless. Doris
