Bible Note: RC: OK! Now I finally get your point. A little slow here. You are right: *in the law* a priest is required to be male. Nevertheless, *in Christ Jesus* there is neither male nor female. Under Grace, not Law, men and women are exactly equal. They differ in their respective roles, but neither is inferior to the other. It is an immutable fact that in the eyes of God in this age THERE IS NO DISTINCTION; "there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." Neither other verses of Scripture nor any amount of "reasoning" will ever change the truth of this verse. RC, no hostility or personal criticism is intended here. We are merely discussing the issue. Your point about the Law is well taken. But, let us never confuse or mix Law with Grace. The original question was in regard to the Kingdom of God. It wasn't about Judaism or the Priesthood. Again, thank you for having the patience to keep explaining your point to me until I finally got it. :-) Take care. --JVH0212 |
