    Galatians 3:28 (KJV) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

    This verse seems to be the new favorite of strange theories. It has been used here to say that there were no more Jews. Now it is being used in Australia by Anglicans to say: '... "the Christian is not to understand their-self or others in terms of the great binary classification [sic] that were applied to humanity at the time," but to "transcend these three binaries."'

    The problem is taking verses as distinct and individual pieces when they are part of larger thoughts and paragraphs.

    Galatians 3:24-29 KJV
    Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. [25] But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. [26] For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. [27] For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. [28] There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. [29] And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

    The verse tells us that there is no hierarchy of saints divided down lines such as Jew vs Gentile, Male vs Female, etc.

    Thank you very much!

    I double-checked the source and I see that they are using the verse as a stand-alone verse. Of course, they have twisted it out of recognition, but others are using the same verse to say that there are no more Jews.

    We do know however that there is still slavery among Muslims worldwide and that white slavery is also worldwide. Apparently, the Australian branch of the Anglican church has been taken over much like the Roman Catholic Church in the United States and elsewhere. Of course, people are still Greek or Jew, free or bond, and male or female but none of that avails in each person's need for Salvation found only in Jesus Christ, right?

    Pretty simple passage actually, as it is stating to us that all of us are saved by same Jesus, and all are equally saved by Him!

    ….There is no hierarchy in SPIRITUAL matters. SPIRITUAL matters.

    The spiritual order is God, Christ, everyone else in the Body of Christ. After Christ he spiritual order is horizontal..

    The natural order is God, Christ, man woman (and this includes the men in Covenant with God caring and watching out for the women in Covenant, and this included women not married.) After Christ the natural order in vertical.
    After all, we are our sister's keeper, too.

    No. It would depend. The only Head in both orders is Christ.
    In marriage the man is head after Christ, but that is the natural order in 1 Cor. 11:3.

    1 Corinthians 11:3 (KJV)
    3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

    Men alone are said to be pastors and elders in the scriptures, correct? And head of the household?
