1 | Calling, contrary to scripture? | 1 Tim 2:12 | djconklin | 27891 | ||
"... there is neither male nor female in God ..." To be somewhat technical for I believe the mis-translation ignores something God is trying to tell us the verse (Gal. 3:28) actually says "male and female". I have not yet worked out the whole significance of this. Perhaps someone here wouldsee it. |

Hello Dave, The Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary adds, "neither male nor female--rather, as Greek, "there is not male and female." There is no distinction into male and female. Difference of sex makes no difference in Christian privileges. But under the law the male sex had great privileges. Males alone had in their body circumcision, the sign of the covenant (contrast baptism applied to male and female alike); they alone were capable of being kings and priests, whereas all of either sex are now "kings and priests unto God" (Rev_1:6); they had prior right to inheritances. In the resurrection the relation of the sexes shall cease (Luk_20:35). one--Greek, "one man"; masculine, not neuter, namely "one new man" in Christ (Eph_2:15)." Unity in Christ transcends any social distinctions, even gender. Blessings to you, Nolan |
