You write…
“Every member of the Body of Christ is and should make themselves available to God to be used in any of the giftings/manifestations of the Holy Spirit as the HS so leads. ”

I find no “Fault” with your explanation. I really like them. 😉

I guess it’s my “fault” for not asking the question properly.”

Do you think a women should have the “Title” and “Position” of
“Pastor/Elder/Leader/Authority/Master?”
Lifting themselves above, and seperating from, the rest of ”The Body?”
Becoming a “Special One” just like the “Men” who are seeking “Glory?”
Seeking; Power, Profit, Prestige, Recognition, Reputation, and Honor?

Jesus said, if I honor myself my honor is nothing. John 8:54

I don’t believe “so called” men “pastor/leaders” are setting a very good example.
Why be like them?

“Titles” give you power, prestige, honor, etc, whether you want it or not.

I’m also an “Every member of the Body can Minister” kind of believer.

Even those “we think to be less honourable” have been a great blessing.
You know – Those we wouldn’t think of having spiritual discernment.
BUT GOD, has a better idea about that… 😉

God gives more abundant honour to that part of the body “we think to be less honourable.”

1 Cor 12:22-24
Nay, much more those members of the body,
which seem to be more feeble, are necessary:
And those members of the body, which
“we think to be less honourable,”
upon these we bestow **more abundant honour; ** (that must be a misprint)
and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness.
For our comely parts have no need:
BUT?GOD hath tempered the body together, (without “my” help. Oy vey!)
having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:

“Pastors?” teach a lot about “obey your Leaders” and “chuch authority,” but,
NOT much teaching or “examples to the flock” of
submitting one to another, and esteeming others better then themselves.
Eph 5:21, Php 2:3.

Jesus always has a better way. nah, the only way.

P.S. You don’t really have to answer the questions.
Just my rant for the day. 😉
