I turn my back for a minute and the comments go nuts! How am I supposed to read all this?!?!

Mark, I am unable to watch the videos for technical reasons, and so I was wanting to hear more of Cheryl’s explanation regarding her view of priesthood. All that I have read that Cheryl has said, I agree with. I might add that I do not see it conflicting with covenant theology, the way I understand it.

1 Peter gives us a great picture of priesthood and sacrifice, very similar to Romans 12. I believe that through the holy Spirit my life is a fragrant offering to God in a very real way.

To be very plain and simple, there is only one “type” of church in the NT. I believe when the Etheopian Eunuch asked to be baptised that him and Phil were doing church. It only takes 2-3 for Christ (head and body) to be there!

Mark, I do not think you would need to go to Cheryl’s church to meet people who believe prophecy is preaching. At the recent Flourish Conference Craig Tucker (Pressie Minister) said this, I have read Gordon Chang (Anglican Minister) say the same on his blog, and I know there are a number of lecturers at the PTC who hold the same/similar view.

The Bible is clear that the husband is the head of the wife, and that CHrist is the head of the church. Nowhere does it say that men in general or pastors/elders are the head of women in general. This CANNOT be assumed from scripture! This is also a timely reminder that we await your own evidence that “kephale” is linked to “authority”. 😉
