I wonder then why St. Paul taught that we are not all teachers, not all administrators, etc. His whole doctrine on the Body of Christ, repeated and elaborated in several of his Epistles, emphasizes that although we all share in the one Spirit, we do not all have the same roles.
We are all members of the one Body, but we are-— following Paul’s analogy -— different cells, tissues,organs, limbs, senses, systems.
Do we all do the same things? Are we all noses? All toeses? All mouths? (heh)
Many the gifts, many the works. One in the Lord of all.
>>Do we all do the same things? Are we all noses? All toeses? All mouths? (heh)
We do not all do the same things. This is why there isn’t a priesthood that is set apart from the rest of us. The person in the pew next to you might be a better teacher than the guy in the pulpit.
