Arguments like Gary Patterson's make it necessary to argue against local women elders.  That is where the church got off track biblically.  The camel got its nose in the tent in 1971 with the Spring Council's decision to allow the ordination of local women elders  only in cases where no suitable man was available for ordination.  It was not a well thought-out decision.

Gary Patterson will never be able to expunge the biblical arguments against women's ordination, so he doesn't try.  He just lines up all the theological error and inconsistency embedded in recent denominational history concerning women and ordination and concludes we are inconsistent.  

Correct conclusion, wrong evidence.  The church has followed a policy path that is very inconsistent with scripture. Women should not lead the church.   FB#1  -  If you don't argue from scripture with the Adventists - you craft an argument of sand.
