There are several reasons that "SHE" does not meet God's qualifications to be a Bishop. (Biblically, a Bishop is a pastor or Elder in a local church, not the head of a group of churches). Qualifications include moral, spiritual and personal attributes. Besides, no Christian pastor, bishop, leader in the New Testament would espouse the false doctrines and heresies that are promoted by present day charlatans like the pretender to the faith, pictured here. Nor would a Christian leader receive personal exaltation from fellow believers or wear supposed, "holy vestments".

All saved people are priests of God, but there is only One High Priest, Jesus. Though God appoints men (males), to the office of pastor, (elder, bishop, shepherd) to lead local churches, they see themselves as servants, not masters, to other believers. Certainly no Christian female would exercise authority over a man.

New Testament Pastors (Elders, Bishops, Shepherds), are not to be confused with those who lord it over other believers. The position of "ruler" in Biblical, Christian ministry is that of leading and serving the local church. They have the responsibility to teach the word of God, perfect the believers, manage the local congregation by keeping order and unity, and exercising church discipline on those who have sin in their lives.
