Welcome to my world. It is a world where "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to promise." (Gal. 3:28)
So what does that mean, to be "all one in Christ Jesus", and all "heirs according to promise"? What I get from "religion" (I've been Catholic and Protestant) is of course we are all one in Christ. We just have different functions, and there are more restrictions placed on some functions than on others. Is this really true? If scripture is looked at as a whole, in context, instead of picking and choosing verses that 'prove' a pet dogma, does the Bible really say that?

I don't know yet. My quest is to find out what Scripture says about all this stuff. I'll see where this leads.
