My brother use to have real issues with “having authority”, and one day a prophet shows up to town to give messages to the small town’s church. The prophet told him (this is the only prophet I’ve ever met face to face that I know was a real prophet) that God had already given him authority. Thing is, my brother never understood what that meant. God’s given authority to us all in matters we’ve yet to even understand, but he certainly has not given any authority in the way comps believe he has. He’s given us all authority to protect, love, honor, build up…he’s given some authority to discipline, to teach, to care for the sheep, to operate in their gifts etc. But what he’s never given is authority to the sex chromosome or authority based on flesh.
I still contend that comps do NOT understand the authority that God gives – and to his PEOPLE.
