Subject: What does men in Eph. 4:8 mean? |
Bible Note: Greetings Benjamite! I agree, but might I add a point? The gifts actually are the apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor/teachers. Thus, Eph. 4:8 isn't saying that spiritual gifts are limited to "men". It is saying that God gave apostles, prophets, evangelists, and pastor/teachers to men (or people). Gender is really not an issue in this passage. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
