@ Amos

I love those words of yours. You are exactly right.
The church has been corrupted with leadership roles. Prophesy was essential to understanding God’s word; but it, in no way, made apostles or prophets leaders in the Church. The new believers needed guidance for a season. Then the apostle was to move on to spread the word to other unbelievers or stand aside and let body of Christ stand on its own.

Of course, with these new leadership roles, men feared being led by the women of the church. Thus, the new interpretations and deviation from Scripture. (Not to mention, this is God’s prediction of man ruling over women working throughout things here that I have my doubts will ever fully or measurably disappear until Christ returns.)
If we returned to full equality in the church, would these men be as antsy?
