2 Wormwood,
Every author I read says what I am saying. This text is about how people "become children of God" and equal eligibility for salvation. This text has nothing to do with feminism or egalitarianism. Paul was thinking nothing of the sort in this context.
Every author I read says what I am saying. really?, I disagree, Galatians 3:28 just one sample, Gill's commentary: there is neither male nor female; among the Heathens {s} also females were not admitted to some of their sacred rites and ceremonies; and among the Jews the males only were concerned in many things both of a civil and religious nature; no female might be heir to an inheritance with a male {t}; females had no share in the civil government, nor in the priesthood; males were to appear three times a year before the Lord, and, according to their oral law, women and servants were exempted {u}; the mark of circumcision, the sign of the covenant made with Abraham and his natural seed, was only upon the males; but now under the Gospel dispensation there is no distinction made between male and female as to divine things; as they are alike called by the grace of God, they have the same right to Gospel ordinances, baptism and the Lord's supper, and to every spiritual privilege. The apostle's design is to show the common right of believers, of every nation, condition, and sex, and to encourage the Gentiles, and demolish the pride, vanity, and boasting of the Jews, their men especially, who valued themselves upon these "three" very things which the apostle here makes no account of; as that they were Israelites and not Gentiles, freemen and not servants, men and not women; and in their public prayers they give thanks to God in this form".
the book of Galatians is simply telling them that have "FREEDOM", in Christ Jesus. especially here in 3:28 of women. which is our theme. question do you disagree with the assessment of the verse above Y/N?.
I'll be waiting for your answer. a yes or no will do. please re-read the commentary for clarity.
Now that we have another Hermeneutics expert,
we can look at Galatians 3:28 again. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus". we have read the commentaries on this scripture, let zoom in on the last part of the scripture, " for ye are all one in Christ Jesus". ONE IN CHRIST?. if we're ONE in Christ, and having the same privileges how can one say, "because you're a female you can't preach teach or pastor". who have made you God?. that sound stupid, and anti Christ. did not the apostle Paul spoke of himself and Apollos as ONE IN CHRIST, and both was ministers in the gospel. 1 Corinthians 3:5 "Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man?. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. 8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour". so what's the beef?, just because a woman is of a difference GENDER, (just as the gentiles was of another race), but we have proved that both male and female are nothing in Christ Jesus. so why do you sin. for our brother James said, 2:9 "But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors".
