We are all equal in Christ... all members of the same body. We have different functions, talents, and gifts, but that makes us no less, or greater in Christ. In fact, Jesus called us to serve one another. Not to BE SERVED, but to serve one another. We are all equal in Christ.

Yet, the Pharisees are still having their way today in the way that ministers somehow consider themselves "elite" and above the rest of the body of Christ. That was the way of the Pharisees, and it is still with us today, even though Jesus brought in a new way for the church to function... but many still try to hold onto that principle and mindset, much to their own detriment.

Which is why we are continuing to have a debate such as this one lags on for thousands of posts.... because some people persist in believing that they are above the rest of the body of Christ. CHRIST is our head, and the rest of us are the members. We are all to submit to the HEAD, which is Christ, yet, all working together to perform the various functions of the body.

But, there are those who will always persist in the mentality that the thumb is greater than the rest of the hand, that the mouth is better than the rest of the five senses, and so on.

Oh yes, the Pharisaical mindset is alive and well. Thank God that a few of us have seen and realized that it was indeed the Pharisees who crucified Christ, trying to destroy what Christ came to do, but Jesus prevailed, in spite of their mentality steeped in tradition.

Things are no different today. Different packaging, different rules, different interpretations, but the same Pharisaical principle applying throughout the ages.

LOL - Funny thing is, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for opting for their anti-un-biblical traditions over-against the Word of God - kinda' like the "women-preachers-teachers" have done in this thread !


Point is, it's not those who firmly stand upon the crystal-clear teaching of Scripture whom are to be considered as "Pharisees" (can't you folks come up with something new BTW - *Sigh*) - but rather those who "make the Word of God of no effect through your tradition" .


Hence, it YOU who is the "Pharisee" - not those who stand on what is clearly written:


11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner....I am writing you these instructions so that, 15 if I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God’s household, which is the church.


Still there - & will be even after y'all are finished tampering with it !
