There is nothing in scripture to forbid female priests. I've already said this. There is also nothing to suggest that there were ever female priests (unless they were believed to be males at the time of ordination). If there is no precedent for female priests, there seems to be enormous precedent for ministers to be males (including God's choice of body to visit earth in.)

Why did God create Man first? Then come to Earth as a man? Why were only males Rabbi's? And why did Jesus have only Male apostles? Maybe you (general you) are thinking "Oh that is because Man made the bible and God didn't have anything to do with it" - maybe you (not you personally) shouldn't be playing this game. That would mean that scripture doesn't mean anything to you either - so why bother citing it?
Scripture is quite clearly flawed and contradictory. Neither Christ nor any other prophet was present when the decision to admit or reject books from the canon was taken. I would argue that an acknowledgement of biblical fallacy is built into the very document. The Gospels do not even agree with each other in several cases and the fact that four were selected to begin with suggests no one account was considered definitive.
