So what actually brought authority?
You are thinking in worldly terms. I am speaking about eternal life. There is great difference. Christians have liberty in the Lord. Because we have a new life, there is authority that comes with that life from God. God chose us, and thus in God's eyes, we have authority on that basis of being His own sons and daughters for eternity. Someone who is a freed slave, may not yet be born again, so he would not have the authority of a Christian to do God's work.

I have noted all your posts, and one thing is common in all of them. Your thinking is narrow as you are always wrong in your assessment of things. You seem to revile me for speaking the truth. You have no value to contribute to this forum at least not so far in your several posts, so unless you can change, and speak from the spirit by the Holy Spirit, what else can one do but ban you? This forum is not a place for those who have a spirit of dissension.
