My point was that at least I have made an attempt. That EO is such a
mystery does not graciate the system. God's gospel is simple. Christ
died for me. Nor does it involve any sort of heirarchial magistratum.
1 Cor 3 & 4. Paul seeks to correct the divisions by presenting in a
true Christian understanding what the ministerial office are -equal and
servant. Ministers were never to be thought of as heads of rival
schools of theology or sects as in the paradigm of the Grecian
philosophers. Ministers were stewards while false teachers and their
followers considered themselves to be in a higher state of religious
prosperity. Ministers have but one Head, all alike being
fellow-laboreres. To attempt to build up the temple of God with the
rubbish of their own wisdom would have such work put to the test of
fire. Employ the materials which God has funished or suffer the
consequences. No one is to deceive themselves nor preach a higher
wisdom than the expressed wisdom of God. To learn wisdom he must
renounce his own. The church is never called to place their confidence
in its ministers, who belong to the church, not so as the church
belonging to them.

Each system produces different effects. As both you and Matthew
continually evidence, the church belongs to the ministers, sola
ecclesia, not the ministers belong to the church, sola gratia. Your
idea of the "mysteries of God" are not that of Scripture. Ad
"dispensers" ministers are stewards of the thruths which God has
revealed which as being undiscoverable by human reason are called
mysteries, into the knowldege of which men must be inititated.
Mysteries do not mean the sacraments. The word is never used in the NT
to either baptism nor the Lord's supper. The mystery is that of the
gospel message with is both foolishness to the natural man and hidden
from previous revelations. Following the same system of Rome, the
principle function of your ministers is to dispense the sacraments and
to tell the congregations what the true interpretation of the
revelations of God are. But 1 C 4:1 presents to opposite truths. One,
ministers are not to thought of as having arbitrary or discretionary
authority. Neither have they any supernatural power. Their authority
rests in and are limited by the commands of Crhist and therefore to be
judged by that standard. No wonder you do not like sola scriptura.
For unlike Aristotle or Plato who originated their own doctrines, the
minister of the church is simply the dispenser of the truth which God
has revealed to men in the scriptures. Nothing more, and certainly,
nothing less.

It is all related. It is systematic and orderly as even the physical
universe itself.
