How does a priest rank against a prophet, especially in the christian body?
1 Corinthians 12:28
King James Version (KJV)
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Acts 2:16-18
King James Version (KJV)
16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
2 Kings 22:14-20
King James Version (KJV)
14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her. 15 And she said unto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Tell the man that sent you to me...
Judges 4:4
King James Version (KJV)
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
Luke 2:36-38
King James Version (KJV)
36 And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity; 37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day. 38 And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake of him to all them that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.
Not necessarily. Matt. 19:9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery. KJV
Fornication and adultery are not limited to sexual immorality. Fornication is lewd and licentious behavior. Adultery can be any kind of unfaithfulness to a spouse. Furthermore, Jesus said that if you even think it you have committed it. Matt. 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Women are EQUAL to men in their standing before God Jesus. The word "equal" is used even in talking about men and women being equal, is not in comparison to each other, but in comparison to the angels, after man and woman are resurrected.
Luke 20:34-36 says, "And Jesus answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage: But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are EQUAL UNTO THE ANGELS; and are the CHILDREN of God, being the children of the resurrection."
Galatians 3:28 : equality in Christ, equal access to the salvation Christ offers.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
I am NOT only a child of God who belong to my God Jesus but I am His heir.
So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.
Galatians 4:7
Romans 8:17
Now if we are children, then we are heirs--heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.
Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing HONOR to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are HEIRS with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered. � 1 Peter 3:7
1 John 3
1 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He (JESUS) is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.
