My argument is very simple. You are saying "Jesus did not choose members of group <X> to be apostles, therefore members of group <X> cannot be ordained". You put "women" into the variable, I put "gentiles" in. The LOGIC of the two arguments is identical. You say that my putting in "gentiles" is bogus, and it is. However, if my version of the argument is bogus, then logically SO IS YOURS.

I am not appealing to history, I am simply appealing to logic.
