Roger, This scripture unit seems to say to me at least two things: 1. We should submit to our earthly leaders, even though they are corrupt in their hypocrisies. 2. We should not name leaders among the Church, for One is our leader. Would these interpretations be correct? ---- Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to His disciples, saying: "The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses; therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them. "They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men's shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger. "But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments. "They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues, and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men. "But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers. "Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. "Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ. "But the greatest among you shall be your servant. (Matthew 23:1-11 NAS95) RS |

Neither ONE!, How about a Thrid Choice? From the TEXT, Christ was saying to the people, "When they speak the Word - Then Obey the Word - BUT DON'T BE LIKE THOSE HYPOCRITES, AND VIPERS, AND Etc.! Church leaders and the pattern is 'Called Out' in 1 and 2Timothy. There are more Scriptures, but that is a Start! Thank you! | ||||||
