Re: This post will be a strain on your Christianity.

That's a pretty good reason to feel better than them, but, if you really think about that you'll realize that they were not kings or politicians in charge of people, they did not lord anything over the people, so that explanation of what they did just doesn't make sense, you just repeated what you were told by captain pastor and the "IN" crowd. The Pharisees had no heart in their devotion, no compassion or sorrow (no river of living waters from their heart, John 7:38). You "simply state what is written" and nothing comes from your heart (how sad!).

In The Lord, there is neither male nor female. When God created MAN, male and female He created them. Are you going to have to diligently examine and search with the commentaries and scholars to make sense out of this? 1 Corinthians 2:10 says "...the spirit searches everything, even the depths of God". How is it that the word of truth is so important to you that you conveniently disregard this revelation of the depths of God? Are they not attractive to you? Do you prefer the knowledge of MAN?


I will not be providing you with the solution to the "male and female" issue, that shouldn't be too much of a problem for anyone.
