AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 23:13 ¶ "But woe (judgment is coming) to you, [self-righteous] scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter yourselves, nor do you allow those who are [in the process of] entering to do so.

Bible Note: Dear prayon, I take it that you are not a minister, or at least not of the 'paid clergy' type. I once brought this up before a group of said type, and thought they were going to get a stake and some kindling! :-) I did make it out of the meeting alive, but I was never invited again! Though I do not have the exact answer, I would guess that the 'humiliation'and 'de-humanization' (less like man, more like Jesus) of ministry is necessary. 'Dollars to doughnuts' (not very applicable any more :-) says that Ephesians 4:11 is part of God's plan for unifying the church against Pharisaical order. Thank you for a clear, honest answer. Blessings in Christ Jesus, charis |
