Behethland B. Clark responds to Ruth Anne Adams:

But just because the Bible doesn't SAY that Jesus ordained women doesn't mean that he did not. After all, the gospels were all written by men. I'm sure that Jesus did and said a lot of things that aren't mentioned in the Bible. (Just a thought!)

Society has changed. Men are no longer the soul bread winner in a household where the wife is needed at home every minute to tend to the children and household chores. It makes sense to me that in Jesus' time, it wouldn't have been acceptable for a women to leave her family and responsibilities to join his ministry. It may have been more of a cultural difference than a gender bias.

I truly believe that if Jesus were here today, he would have men and women (of all race and creed) in his discipleship.
