I’m realizing that you’re not interested in following up on any resources I send you, addressing my responses or original post on their own merits, or looking into this matter as if my point of view has any potential truth. That makes continuing to answer you until that changes seem to be a waste of time.

But as a last response for now: all the apostles were also Jews. Does this mean only Jewish men can have leadership roles in the church?

Could it not simply be that he chose twelve Jewish men to echo the twelve sons of Israel?

Please feel free to discuss this matter further with me when you are actually willing to consider it.

Gender rolls are so fundamental to life they are expressed biologically and socially in every mammal on the planet.

It’s difficult to give this more than a cursory thought due to the overwhelming evidence against the position in all human and animal social hierarchies.

But hey I agree with you on guns 😁. Just don’t want my daughters in the trenches.
