Anyone who calls himself “prophet, priest, and king” is a blasphemer, and anyone who worships such a self-made god is an idolater.

Prophecy is a gift; priest is what we all are, and only Jesus is as mediator between God and people; king is reserved for God alone or a human civic ruler.

I’ve seen the hoops the patriarchalists jump through to say things like: “she can have the gift of prophecy but not the office” (there is no “office”)”, or “she had the gift of apostle but not the office”, or “gentiles, slaves and women are equally saved, and gentiles and slaves are equal socially, but women are only equally saved”, etc.

They are Pharisees who make impossible burdens for women and never lift a finger to help. They love to have the seats of honor, to be praised, to be called ‘rabbi’ (or king or priest or prophet or Pastor or Bishop or lord or master). They shut the kingdom of heaven in women’s faces.
