The Parable of the Ten Virgins Explained

Well...it's starts out from you first. Then Peter said unto them, "repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38).

Two things have to be done first, repent and then baptized. You must give up a lifestyle where sin has dominion, (ruler ship) over you. Sin according to 1 John 3:4, Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression (breaking) of the law. You must be taught "The Word", before you can adhere to God's commandments (judgments\statues). These laws are found in the Holy Bible; beginning with Genesis and ending with Revelation.

I've done these things, so yes I can see.

Jesus Christ told Mary not to touch Him because He had not yet ascended to the Father…

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’ ”
John 20:17 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=John 20:17&version=NKJV

Jesus telling Mary to not touch Him has absolutely NOTHING to do with anyone being or not being an Apostle.

Correct, and after HE ascended and came back HE went FIRST to the man - just as HE did in Genesis.

The Order that God created is Man first.
Woman was created from man and HE will never reverse or annul that Order - but satan will.

The ONLY Order that will never reverse or annul is….

Christ is FIRST, then His Body and in His Body is neither male or female.

Male and female is only in the marriage covenant.

Stay in your misguided belief - this is a common theme amongst christians, to selectively pick out scripture verses for their own desires.

Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ. - Apostle Paul

2Now I praise you, brethren, that you remember me in all things and keep the traditions just as I delivered them to you.
3But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
4Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head. 5But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. 6For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.
7For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
8For man is not from woman, but woman from man.
9Nor was man created for the woman, but woman for the man.
10For this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
11Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Lord.
12For as woman came from man, even so man also comes through woman; but all things are from God.

This is the established Order by God and in this life it will never be voided, annulled or bypassed by God.

In this life, right now on planet Earth the Body of Christ is and in His Body there is neither male or female. All Believers are equal.

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:27-28 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Galatians 3:27-28&version=NKJV

Yet, in the marriage covenant right now on planet Earth is male and female.

And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Genesis 2:23-25 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Genesis 2:23-25&version=NKJV

Try as you may, God will never change His Order - Genesis
So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; #1 male and #2 female He created them.

What God hates has become a main principle in the world.
A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man wear women’s clothing,
for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this. - Deut 22:5

#1 comes before #2 - SEE the True Apostle Paul - 1 Timothy 2 and

I desire therefore that the men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting; in like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works. Let a woman learn in silence with all submission. And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

Truth 101 - No women were ever chosen to be a Apostle. Women are not to exalt themselves above a man - Order of God.

Oh dear....talking about the clothing is like straining over a gnat and swallowing a whole camel....lol!

Dear David,

Now, that Christ has risen AND given the Holy Spirit to both men and women...the whole playing field has changed.

In the Marriage Covenant there is male and female.

In the Body of Christ there is NO male or female.

Men and Women that are saved, filled with the Holy Spirit and have become The Body of Christ in the Earth take their direction from their ONLY Head which is Christ ALONE.

A Man can function as Apostle, Evangelist, Prophet, Pastor and Teacher in The Body of Christ AND function as Husband who is the Head of the Marriage Covenant between man and woman but he is NOT head of women in The Body of Christ because there are NO male and female in the Body of Christ.

Likewise, a Woman can function as Apostle, Evangelist, Prophet, Pastor and Teacher in The Body of Christ AND function as Wife by submitting to her Husband in the Marriage Covenant between man and woman; however, in the Body of Christ she submits to Christ ALONE, NOT her husband.

The five fold ministry of apostles, evangelists, prophets, pastors and teachers is in full force operating now for the edifying of the BODY OF CHRIST, NOT to edify a man or a woman.

BOTH MEN and WOMEN need to take their place IN THE BODY OF CHRIST and begin to function in their calling which can be any of the five fold ministries... ALL working by the power of the Holy Spirit so that the WHOLE Many Membered Body of Christ is EDIFIED, amen!

Try as you may, you cannot remove Mary Magdalene's role as an apostle... given by Jesus.

Exalt? The word is usurp.

Oh Dear, are you decieved...........follow your false apostle.

No David, I do not follow any false apostle, nor do I follow True Apostles....

I ONLY follow Christ, led by the Holy Spirit and I am EDIFIED by True Apostles, Evangelists, Prophets, Pastors and Teachers in the Body of Christ. Hallelujah!

No David, I do not follow any false apostle, nor do I follow True Apostles....

I ONLY follow Christ, led by the Holy Spirit and I am EDIFIED by True Apostles, Evangelists, Prophets, Pastors and Teachers in the Body of Christ. Hallelujah!

Try as yo may - no woman was ever a apostle - not one scripture will support your belief.

Arrogance is when a person seeks to impose their limited knowledge upon the word of God.

i forgot to add - and know that i love you for you are my Sister in Christ and if you ever where to meet my wife and i you would see that we share the same understanding of Galatians.
i prefer to allow the balance of all Scripture by being subject to ALL of it for our protection and obedience to Christ.

Since you have purified your souls by obedience to the truth so that you have a genuine love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from a pure heart.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.

Jesus sent Mary with one of the most important messages of the gospel: His
resurrection. Seems you wish to deny this. Your definition of apostle suffers.





From 1 Cor 15:14-18

The only way our "lamps" can give us light is when the Holy Spirit gives us understanding of the scriptures....

I love you, too brother David...in Christ!

I think it would be so God if He gave your wife the anointing of an Apostle.....lol!
That would be just like God to do that! lol!

She's still your wife in the marriage but NOT in the Body of Christ.
