And perhaps I’d better specify. I therefore believe that men are “superior” any more than I believe that the Jews were “superior.” Certainly there were some advantages of being born a Jew in having been culturally entrusted with the oracles of God (Rom 3:2). Simply because one is entrusted with authority (e.g. governors, masters, parents, etc.) does not make them metaphysically “superior” over those whom they are charged.
Certainly it is tempting to the carnal mind to think this way – but it is not in accordance with the new heart which is to center our being.
