Discrimination in the Church
Galatians 3:28
There is neither
Jew nor Greek
slave nor free
male nor female
for you are all one
in Christ Jesus
Class, Race, Nationality and Gender should not form the basis for our coming together
We should not discriminate on the basis of Nationality, Race, Occupation, Class or Gender
Women have an important role to play in the Church as do men
Nobody should be excluded or favoured on these grounds
1Corinthians 14:26
What then shall we say, brothers?
When you come together,
everyone
has a hymn,
or a word of instruction,
a revelation,
a tongue
or an interpretation.
All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church.
1Corinthians 14:31
For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.
