The UPC needs to stop preaching from the passage about how women are not to wear that which pertains to a man, since there is no male or female "in Christ." If there are no men or women "in Christ" then Paul's statement that he did not allow women to speak or to usurp authority means nothing - since you insist there is no male or female in Christ. The fact that the qualifications for bishops and deacons include being the husband of one wife means nothing - since according to you there is no male or female in Christ.

Yes, folks, we're just going to cast aside all gender distinctions in the Church - because Mizpeh says there is no male or female in the Church. Ladies (not that you exist anymore now that you're in Christ), you can go ahead and wear men's clothes and act like men all you want. Men (not that you exist anymore now that you're in Christ), feel free to wear dresses and go get your facials and manicures and pedicures at the beauty spa. Mizpeh has decreed that there is no male or female in Christ and insists that this means all gender distinctions just go away for us, since we are no longer in the flesh but are now "in Christ."

LOL, Chan, you never answered my question about the gifts of the Spirit that God gives to each of those in his body. Are the gifts of the ministry ONLY for males? How do you explain Paul's saying there is neither male nor female? What do you think he means?

Chan, what I'm speaking of doesn't apply to the difference in women and men's clothing or women being subject to their husbands, or anything along natural lines of distinction. When we get to heaven there is no marriage nor giving in marriage but we will be equal to the angels.
