There is a narrative in certain church circles that teaches that Deborah was only the judge because the men weren't stepping up. Some will go as far as to say that Deborah (a woman) being the judge over Israel was God placing judgement on Israel because the men refused to lead. They will even use Isaiah 3:12 out of context to support their view. Also adding that some would suggest that Barak was actually supposed to be the judge and not Deborah but Barak was a coward for not stepping up and being the judge. Is this what the scriptures are communicating? Do we see anywhere in scripture that God picks people based on these conditions"? The answer is a flat out NO. I will be discussing my reasons from the scriptures (contextually and culturally) for why these interpretations of Deborah the Judge are ridiculous. For some Christians, women leading men should never happen. According to churches who believe that the Bible teaches gender hierarchy has a view that men are the only ones who are to be in charge. But according to scripture God never had an issue with calling women to lead people (men and women).
