THE TRUE LIBERATION OF WOMEN AND MEN IS AT THE RESURRECTION WHEN ALL WILL BE REVEALED AS SONS OF GOD
MASCULINITY OR MALENESS IS THE ORIGINAL SEX IDENTITY OF THE HUMAN BEING, AS IS CLEAR FROM THE CASE OF ADAM. MAN IS CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD. SEX WISE MASCULINITY IS THE IMAGE OF GOD, NOT FEMINITY. WOMEN SHARE THE HUMANITY AND IMAGE OF GOD EQUALLY, JUST AS MEN DO SHARE. HERE LIES THE ESSENTIAL EQUALITY OF MEN AND WOMEN. ONLY THING IS THAT IN RESURRECTION WOMEN WILL RECOVER THEIR ORIGINAL MASCULINE IDENTITY. TILL THEN WOMAN IS AN IDEAL HELP FOR MAN, AND ALL WOMEN DO A VERY KEY MINISTRY IN THE ENTIRE HUMAN PROJECT. HENCE GENDER SHALL REMAIN AND IT SHALL BE MALE, BUT MIGHT NOT BE EXACTLY RETAINING ALL THE CURRENT FEATURES OF HUMAN MASCULINITY.
WOMANHOOD IS A TEMPORARY ARRANGEMENT, MADE FROM THE RIB OF MAN. SO IS ALL THE SOCIAL STATUS, JOBS, PHYSICAL MARKINGSS LIKE BROKEN LIMBS, ETC WILL NOT BE RETAINED IN HEAVEN. ALL THE WOUNDS OF JESUS WERE NOT RETAINED IN THE RESURRECTION BODY. IN FACT WOMAN IS ALSO EQUALLY MAN, IN THE ESSENTIALS OF THE HUMANITY. BUT NOT INDEPENDENTLY CREATED LIKE MAN, SO THAT WOMAN SHALL INVARIABLY BE RELATED TO MAN, IN ALL THE AFFIARS OF LIFE. SO IN RESURRECTION, THERE SHALL BE AN ESCHATOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION AND ALL SHALL BE TRANSFORMED INTO GLORIFIED MALE, MASCULINE AUTHORITATIVE RESURRECTED BODIES, AND SHALL BECOME LIKE ANGELS. ONLY IN A TEMPORAL AND TRANSCIENT SENSE WOMEN ARE ADDRESSED AS DAUGHTERS OF GOD. IN THE MORE SUBSTANTIAL AND ETERNAL SENSE WOMEN ARE ALSO ADDRESSED AS SONS OF GOD, AS IS CLEAR FROM ROM 8:18-23.
THE PRESENT DIFFERENCES BETWEEN MAN AND WOMAN ARE MARKED BY THE REPRODUCTIVE EXIGENCIES. AS LIFE IN HEAVEN DOES NOT HAVE THOSE, THERE WOULD NOT BE ANY MALE FEMALE DISTINCTIONS IN THE GLORIFIED RESURRECTED BODIES. HENCE HUMANS SHALL BE LIKE THE ANGELS, SAID JESUS.
SEE BELOW SOME OF THE SUPPORTING VERSES
ROM 8:18-23 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward. For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for [our] adoption, [to wit], the redemption of our body.
REV 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit these things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
REVE 22:3-5 And there shall be no curse any more: and the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be therein: and his servants (Part of Speech: Noun Case: Nominative Gender: Masculine Number: Plural) shall serve him; and they shall see his face; and his name [shall be] on their foreheads. And there shall be night no more; and they need no light of lamp, neither light of sun; for the Lord God shall give them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
THUS ALL WILL RECEIVE NEW BODIES AND EVEN NEW NAMES. REV 2:17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, which no one knoweth but he that receiveth it.
IN THE SCENE IN HEAVEN IN REV 5:8, 24 ELDERS ARE ALL REFERED TO AS MALES. And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
IN REV 5:10 THE SAVED PEOPLE ARE REFERED TO AS KINGS AND PRIESTS. And madest them [to be] unto our God kingdom and priests; and they reign upon earth.
1PET 2:9 But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for [God's] own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
ANYONE CAN BACKSLIDE INTO APOSTASY LIKE LUCIFER
WHEN THERE IS NO SUBMISSION TO GOD AND HIS CLEAR WORD, THERE IS ENOUGH CHANCE FOR THE HARDENING OF THE HEART, IN AN IRREVERSIBLE MANNER. AND THERE WILL BE AN EVER- INCREASING REBELLION AND DISOBEDIENCE TO GOD, INEVITABLY RESULTING IN THE GRADUAL BACKSLIDING AND THE FALL INTO APOSTASY. IT IS NO MORE CHURCH. LET THIS NOT HAPPEN PLEASE.
IF WHAT IS GIVEN IN THE BIBLE IS THE STANDARD GOD EXPECTS AND APPROVES, WHO ARE ANYONE TO OPPOSE?
Just as God the Father is the head of Christ in the scheme of redemption, man is the head of women. Even though Christ is equal to the Father and possesses the fullness of the Godhead, (not some kind of lesser god) He still humbled himself under the authority of the Father, and is not cheated or less holy for doing so.
Likewise the women, though they are equal members and joint heirs of the blessings in Christ, are instructed to humble themselves according to God's will under the authority of the men.
SO JUST AS CHRIST SUBMITTED ALL BELIEVERS ARE COMMANDED TO VOLUNTARILY SUBMIT TO EACH OTHER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WORD OF GOD. WHEN THE PRINCIPLE OF SUBMISSION IS BROKEN AND DISOBEDIENCE REBELLION PREVAILS, IT CEASES TO BE A CHURCH.
THE REBELS MUST BE KEPT OUT OF THE CHURCH
UNLESS SUCH ARE KEPT OUT, THEY DESTROY PROTECTIVE WALL OF THE CHURCH, AND THERE WILL BE A TERRIBLE UNSTOPPABLE DESTRUCTIVE FLOW OF DIRTY WATER OF FALSE DOCTRINES INTO THE CHURCH, IN WHICH THE BELIEVERS DIE OUT.
NO BODY SHOULD INFLATE ANYBODYS IMPORTANCE. THE WORLD AND ALSO CHURCH WILL SURVIVE WITHOUT THE ANY PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL.
PREACHING IN CONVENTION IS NO MEASURE OF SPIRITUALITY. MONEY, ACADEMIC DEGRESS, FLUENCY IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE, POPULARITY ETC IS NO MEASURE OF SPIRITUALITY. PEOPLE SHOULD NOT BE DECIEVED. WE SHOULD NOT MISUNDERSTAND INTELLECTUAL CALIBER, SOPHISTICATION ETC TO BE SIGN OF SPIRITUALITY. MOST OFTEN ARROGANCE AND SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS GO TOGETHER.
FINALLY BRETHREN, LET US ALL TRY TO BE USEFUL TO THE LORD. DON’T SHOW UNNECESSARY ADVENTURISM AND SPOIL THE CHURCH AND DESTROY SELF. DON’T DEVIATE FROM THE LOGIC OF THE WORD OF GOD. THE BEST AND THE BRIGHTEST ALWAYS STAND WITH GOD AND HIS WORD WITHOUT QUESTIONING. QUESTIONING GOD IS INVARIABLY THE SIGN OF STUPIDITY, NOT INTELLIGENCE.
