Episode notes
Persecution Doesn't Prove Leadership
- The persecution of women in Acts does not imply they were leaders; persecution targeted many believers, not just the leaders.
- Paul persecuted all Christians indiscriminately regardless of their leadership status or gender.
Sitting at Jesus’ Feet Means Learning
- Sitting at Jesus' feet does not necessarily mean being trained as a rabbi; it implies learning and discipleship.
- Luke uses this phrase for various learners, including a healed man not trained to be a teacher.
Universal Priesthood of Believers
- All believers are part of a holy priesthood with direct access to God through Jesus.
- There is no special priestly class in the New Testament; men as 'priests' in homes is a faulty view.
