I’m curious about this & haven’t been able to find a complementarian or patriarchalist believer willing to engage it directly.

I once read about a woman in Iran who was leading a house church. She was arrested & very likely tortured in prison.

Do you believe a martyr like her will hear Jesus say, “Well done, good & faithful servant,” at judgment? Or do you believe she was in active rebellion against God for leading that church?

If you do see it as active rebellion, what do you envision judgment looking like for her? Would she face any kind of punishment for leading that church?

@birdchadlouis Jesus in Gethsemane…

Matthew 26:39
And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

[Eshan Weerasinghe @eshandimuth]

I appreciate you highlighting the parallels with the Psalms!
I still have a couple of questions…
Agreed that “God tempts no one”; but here we ask Him “Lead us not into temptation” i.e. keep us from the tempter. Also Matt 4:1 says Jesus was lead by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by Satan and, Heb 4:15 says Jesus was “tempted as we are, yet without sin”. So isn’t it possible that God (through the Holy Spirit) may at times lead us / allow us to be tempted? Hence, our request asking Him not to do it / allow it?
Any light you can shed on these scriptures will be much appreciated.

Not every “apostle” in the New Testament fits the same category.

In a relatively obscure Old Testament chapter, we find the map to explore the meaning of some New Testament passages. The chapter is Numbers 8, and we read it today in Bible in One Year.

In Numbers 8, the Levites are brought before the Tabernacle and the people of Israel. The Israelites “lay their hands on the Levites” (8:10), just as hands were laid on sacrificial animals. Then Aaron “shall offer the Levites before the Lord as a wave offering from the people of Israel” (8:11). In this way, the Levites are set apart as a kind of sacrifice from among the people. They are “wholly given” to the Lord (8:16), a living offering that serves on Israel's behalf in the sanctuary.

This provides important background for the New Testament. When Paul calls believers to “present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God” (Rom 12:1), he is not introducing a theological novelty. Like the Levites, we belong to the Lord. Our lives are given over to him, not in death, but in ongoing service as Christ lives in and through us (Gal. 2:20).

This same imagery from Numbers 8 stands behind Romans 15:16, where Paul describes his ministry in priestly terms: he is “a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles in the priestly service of the gospel of God, so that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.” Here Paul echoes Isaiah 66:20, where God promises, “they shall bring all your brothers from all the nations as an offering to the Lord.”

What Isaiah foresaw, Paul sees being fulfilled. The nations themselves become the offering. Not through sacrifice in the old sense, but as people made holy by the Spirit and brought into God's presence in Christ.

So we see a consistent pattern across Scripture. In Numbers, the Levites are “a wave offering” and “wholly given” to the Lord. In Isaiah, the nations are brought “as an offering to the Lord.” In Paul, that vision comes to life as the Gentiles are gathered in and presented to God as a sanctified offering.

What was once enacted in Israel’s worship is now fulfilled in Christ and extended to the world.
