Jeroboam "adjusts" the ministry:
And he made an house of high places,
and made priests of the lowest of the people,
which were not of the sons of Levi.
1 Kings 12:31
 |
| 2 gay clergy who are also "partners" (members of the Lutheran Church) |
And he ordained him priests for the high places,
and for the devils,
and for the calves which he had made.
2 Chronicles 11:15
 |
| A more "inclusive" church of Jeroboam |
You can hear the echo of Jeroboam today in the churches-as they adjust the ministry by asking "why should ordination be only for the men from Levi"?
Or, as some now do, the ordination of gay priests & pastors in some churches.
Opening up the priesthood to all would surely appeal to a sense of "social justice" in the eyes of the world....
